I have decided that on January 1st
I’m finally going to commit to the 30-60 day Whole30 diet. As of right now, even sticking with strict gluten free, I’m right back to feeling sick all the time. I’m not sure if it’s dairy or if there is something else I’m now sensitive to but the Whole30 is the best way to find…

This past week has been crazy
Since leaving my job, I have been working on my Nano project- which turned into a short story I will be putting out somehow when I get it finished and a novel I am wanting to self publish when I get it finished. I have decided that, instead of trying the traditional route, I’m going…

What’s your passion?
“What’s your passion?” It’s a phrase asked by a lot of different counselors and coaches but how many people truly know what their real passion is? What exactly does passion mean?

Frozen Perfectionist
I am what is known as a “frozen perfectionist.” I was diagnosed with OCD as an adult, after discussing my childhood with a therapist after losing a child (the symptoms got too bad to ignore). I finally found out why I obsess over nearly everything but some of the symptoms didn’t add up. I started…

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’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…

Is Drinking Really Worth It?
I read so much about parents and drinking, all the posts and memes about wine and all the jokes about how bad mommy needs a drink. It had me thinking about it a while back, and while I really didn’t mean to write this, I’m writing it now. People who knew me pre-kids and pre-marriage…

These are a few of my favorite things
I’m wanting to step up my diet a bit more. I have been strict gluten free for a year now, I’m almost fully dairy free but soy is my problem. I think I’m going to fully take dairy out at home and out of home then work on soy. Already- those homemade lattes I posted-…
