Week one: Diary of a mad white mother
Back to my roots: Get ready to see the ugly
If you haven’t been hanging out with me since I first started blogging, you may not know why I began this whole thing in the first place. You can read about it in my very first post, or if you don’t have time for that right now, I’ll give you the cliffs notes. It occurred […]
It’s All About Perspective (and It’s All Small Stuff)
I’m sitting at the kitchen table with a butter knife trying to scrape dried-up oatmeal off our fabric seats.

You’re Thinking of Buying Her WHAT for Christmas?!
In case you missed the memo, the Christmas season is upon us. I love this time of year (the decorations, the baked goods, the general feeling of coziness), but the one aspect of the season that stresses me out is gift-giving. It’s not that I don’t enjoy giving gifts; I do! But finding that perfect […]
