Snow Days, Crabs, and Growing Pains

Snow Days, Crabs, and Growing Pains

    Today marks the NINTH school day my kids have missed this year due to crappy Midwest weather.

Just Don’t Ask Me to Keep Score: The Inside Advantage of Sports Moms

I just got back from 4 days in Omaha, watching 11-year-old boys play baseball against teams from all over the United States. Most of the boys on Will’s team have been playing together for 4-5 years, and they are best friends on and off the field. Here’s a little secret I’m going to let you in on: I hate sports…. Read More

How to Work from Home During Summer Break Without Losing Your Sh*t

How to Work from Home During Summer Break Without Losing Your Sh*t

Ahhhh, it’s summer time. Endless days of pools, sunshine, not a care in the world…if you’re under 16. If you’re a parent, summer means a break from checking homework folders and signing assignment notebooks, but it also means one of two things: if you work full-time and have more than one kid, you’re probably spending most of your summer earnings… Read More

Enough: Making The Difficult Decision to End My Relationship With My Mother

I am thrilled to welcome my friend Laura Columbatto as the guest blogger on today’s “Tell Me More Tuesday!” Laura and I share a special bond–her son and my daughter have been sweethearts since they were three years old.

Don’t Take Me to Brunch on Mother’s Day

Don’t Take Me to Brunch on Mother’s Day

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. The day that strikes fear in the hearts of new dads everywhere, and a day that for most Moms is just like any other Sunday–especially when there are actual children still living under the roof of said mother.

On Bunnies and Boundaries

On Bunnies and Boundaries

I’ve never been a “color outside the lines” kind of girl. I am a rule follower, a rule enforcer, and a general lover of all things black and white. Gray is not my favorite color. I also like clarity when it comes to relationships. I don’t like to try and figure out where I stand with people, or what their… Read More

Beat the Bus

Beat the Bus

The alarm goes off at 7am. I had every intention of setting it for 6 and working out, but I ended up watching Kimmel and scrolling through Facebook until 11pm, so 7 it is.
