Yoga. The beautiful, calming practice of being still left me anxious as FUCK last Saturday. Ironic, right? I mean, how can something so soothing cause stress? That my friend, is all in the pants you wear. It was early on a Saturday. My men were house sitting which means I got a good night sleep […]

Being Authentic
My resolution for the new year was Freedom. Mainly in the financial department. Ironically working as a Financial Representative did not help us and we ended up getting into some financial trouble. It’s difficult to get ahead when you end up behind with the IRS. THIS year, fingers crossed, will be different. As the first month […]
Reset Button
Yesterday morning was something else. It. was. bad. I had worked the night before and was running on just a few hours of sleep. Lij had the girls class, which he does NOT care for. And in general were coming off of a 18 days of no routine. All of us were having trouble adjusting. It […]
Boycotting Christmas
I’ve never been a fan of my birthday. You’re probably thinking, YEAH RIGHT! But it’s true. I’ve never been a fan of it. For a long time I assumed I wasn’t a fan because of the aging aspect that comes with it. Another year older… not getting wise but getting wrinkles isn’t exactly fair in […]

Smoking
My little guy wants to smoke. He fake smokes straws, string sticks, sticks, chopsticks, anything that resembles a cigarette. He walks around puffing all of the time. * * * Much like my little guy, I was probably 4 when I knew I would be a smoker. I wore […]
Beautiful Women
When I first started dating my now husband, he told me of this crush he had. She is his friends little sister, she’s nice and pretty. Eventually I would meet her and realize that he under exaggerated her by a LOT. She met up with us after running late to a wedding we were attending. She is […]
Boys
There is a description of the word boy that goes something like: noise with dirt on it. When you have two boys that noise and dirt multiply. If they aren’t running around screaming, skateboarding inside, dressing in costume fighting the bad guys, creating life size hot wheel tracks, building forts out of every blanket we […]
Girls weekend or bust
There has been a major influx of chick flicks on our TV as of late. Around the fifth one this week I started to wonder why there was a sudden rise in this genre. Then it hit me… I went to a girl’s weekend. This particular girls weekend caused a heartache that can ONLY be […]
