Rip Tide

January 16, 2018 · 14 Comments

Last summer I graduated to the big kids' table at the swimming pool. If you have children you'll understand what a milestone this is - years and years of swim lessons finally paying off as my girls were now able to freestyle their way from the diving board to the ladder.

Go Home, Perverts – You’re Drunk

August 20, 2015 · 13 Comments

I swear to you - I tried so hard to not write this post.  Every time a new story about Jared broke I told myself, "Nope - don't do it.  Don't throw shade.  Just mind your own business and write about poop and wine and muffin tops like you do every other day."

What I learned about myself and others from a blog post that went viral

August 5, 2014 · 34 Comments

A few months ago I hit the blogging jackpot when I wrote a post that went viral.  If you are like every other person in the world who I've discussed this with, your eyes went a little glassy just now.  The conversation usually goes something like, "Hey!  How's it going with the old blog?"
