Spring has sprung and with sunshiny days and the top rolled down on our car, I just can't think of anything better to do that to break out an oldie but goodie post to kick off your Spring Break road tripping! A few years ago I drove with my kids from Upstate South Carolina to Florida by myself for the first time. And because they were super little and I was probably … [Read more...]
When Therapy is a Bunny
I have a new form of therapy. I didn't come up with the methodology on purpose...in fact, it was completely by accident, but it's working, so I think I'll stick with it. We got a bunny. Also not entirely on purpose, but it's working, so I'll stick with it. Here's what happened a little over week ago... I'd like to note that although my yard wasn't even close to being … [Read more...]

Staying Curious Even When Your Hair Falls Out
My hair is falling out. And you should know that it's not like when a few strands come loose here and there, but more of a by-the-brush-full, by-the-handful, falling-out-something-fierce sort of rate. In fact, I'd venture to say that I have about half the amount of hair that I had a year ago. You haven't been able to tell because I'm getting better at hair spraying a … [Read more...]

Grandma’s Gluten-Free Brownies
I recently found out that I have an autoimmune disease that has been causing all sorts of skin issues, inflammation, hair falling out, muscle weakness and plenty of delightful things that aren't actually delightful. And after some tests and whatnot, some doctors told me that it might help reduce the inflammation and some of the symptoms to reduce or completely cut gluten from … [Read more...]
I Screamed At My Kids Today
I screamed at my son today. And when I say screamed, what I really mean is that I lost my ever loving mind and turned into what seems to me to be a crazy person. What I mean is that this tension that I let build from some pretty heavy other things I've been digesting this week basically just hit a tipping point, a final straw, the end of the line, or whatever other pithy … [Read more...]
When Your Plans Crumble Around You
I recently watched a fascinating documentary called "Meru" about a small team of elite mountain climbers who set out to climb a peak known as the "Sharks Fin" in Northern India. This particular peak has seen more failed attempts by elite climbing teams over the past 30 years than any other ascent in the Himalayas. But these guys set out to do it anyhow. The first time they … [Read more...]

Hans Solo… the cup
I'm surrounded by boys in my house. Which in other terms means that Star Wars is kind of a big deal around here.

Recently, I came across a picture online somewhere of a solo cup made to look something like this, but I couldn't find a tutorial how to do it anywhere. … [Read more...]
You Can’t Wear Camouflage to School
“I’m not allowed to wear that Mommy. We can’t wear camo to school. There is a stuffed animal that came to our class and said that camo isn’t appropriate to wear to school.” My five year old needed to change shirts yesterday after his older brother turned on the faucet while little man’s arm was under the spigot. The long sleeved shirt he had on was soaked up to … [Read more...]
I Am The Worst Blog Title-er Ever
I don't even think "title-er" is a real word. But whatever. I recently learned on the style sheet for my book (it's a few pages where they record your friends' names correctly, the places you mention, and terms and phrases that you use, so that a proofreader knows to take care a not remove or change those things) that apparently I make up words because "author coinage" was … [Read more...]
