A Year Ago Today
Share the lies: I was challenged to compare my life today, to that of a year ago. If you read my blog often you already know, I’m always up for a challenge. Here is the link to the post I wrote one year ago today. Go ahead and read it. Really, it’s OK. I can [...]
“Playdates” Aren’t For Kids.
Share the lies: Whether you stay at home, or work outside of the home, attachment parent, free range parent or something in between, I am sure there is one thing we can all agree on. At times, kids can be….well, to say it mildly, super annoying. With summer approaching with frightening speed (three weeks earlier [...]

Who Exactly Got Trained?
Share the lies: Girls are easier, they said. Second children learn from the first and WANT to be potty trained, they said. Lies. All filthy, disgusting lies. Anyone who said this to me or wrote these words in a book clearly has never spent any time with my loving, darling girl who is now smart [...]
Get Your Barf Bags Out
Share the lies: I’m about to say nice & lovey things about my husband. This week’s writing challenge is to talk about a love story that makes me happy, and the one that I know the best is of course, my own. You’ve been warned. Nick’s parents got engaged after two weeks, and they have [...]
The Shameless Plug
Share the lies: Click this link. Except don’t! Sorry, the link doesn’t work. Rookie mistake. Instead, click the YouTube icon under my video and then click subscribe once you get to the YouTube website. Someday I’ll figure out what I’m doing…sheesh.
