I’m inspired by… I’m inspired to do things I’ve put on the back burner for years because of this little face. I launched this blog because of him (obviously). I finally went into production for publishing my first book because of him. I am going after goals and following dreams because of him. When he […] Read more…

Doctor’s Orders
Parents of girls – get ready to have your ego stroked! A man by the name of Dr. Kanazawa has determined that if you have a girl it’s because you’re crazy attractive. His study, found in the Daily Mail, claims that attractive couples are more likely to have daughters. Let’s look for examples, shall we? […] Read more…
Working out & the working mom
I used to be a bit of a workout-a-holic. I would faithfully suit up in my workout gear after work and hit the gym. After getting married I wanted to go straight home after work so I would get up in the mornings before work and hit the gym. Once I knew we were ready […] Read more…
Work-Life Balance?
Can someone draw me a picture of what work-life balance looks like? I mean, some sort of diagram would be lovely. I’m just saying. I don’t think I’m getting it right. I mean sometimes, sure. On a regular basis – not so much. I really wish there was some way for there to be a […] Read more…

Whip my Hair or Behind pt. 2
So, I watched it. I watched the Oprah episode with Willow Smith co-hosting and… I can’t say that my feeling has changed so much. It was kind of cute to see her hanging out with Oprah.

Sheen Speaks & Speaks &…
You know that feeling you get when you’ve gone too far? You get that pit in your stomach, your temperature shoots up and you know it’s time to SHUT UP? Well, Charlie Sheen has not had that feeling! I’m guessing here. I could be way off, but methinks the verbal diarrhea on display here lately […] Read more…
Whip My Hair or Behind?
When I was a child, I don’t know how many times I or one of my cousins heard these words when we were getting too big for our britches: “stay in a child’s place”. That being said, is it me or is Willow Smith growing up really fast? When she first started appearing here and […] Read more…
