How Many Times Have You Had to Reheat the Same Cup of Coffee?
I’m sure any other coffee addict moms can answer. I think my record for reheating coffee was about 5 or 6 times- including 2 times without drinking any because I forgot to take it out of the microwave. Once I left a cup of decaf in the microwave, forgot about it because we were so…

I just got notified a few days ago it was my 1 year anniversary
I also just noticed I was on 99 posts, so this is my 100th post. It took me 1 year to reach 100 posts. I’m thinking about challenging myself to make 1 new post a day and see if I can add 365 by this time next year. I guess by my 1 year anniversary,…

This has been both a great and stressful week
My daughter started second grade last week(I still can’t believe she’s already in SECOND grade- when did that happen??). While getting in the routine, I was a stereotype of the stressed out/hot mess of a mom I always tried to not be. Day 1- we got to school on time, drop off went smooth then…

I’m getting ready to do a full series on attraction
I read an article a while back about being the ugly friend. I’m tired of hearing “ugly” being used as an insult since attractiveness means different things to different people and no one is universally ugly- or attractive. Even the most attractive woman in the world wouldn’t be seen as attractive to every single person…

I’ve been on a cleaning spree
I’m a horrible pack rat- one of my biggest fears is something pushing me over the edge and becoming a hoarder. I already have the “what if I need this one time in the future?” anxiety around getting rid of things. I had the house to myself completely on the 4th, I also was off…
