life seen not through a filter
A woman I went to high school with recently shared on Facebook that Life cereal has genetically engineered/bioengineered ingredients in it. The manufacturer doesn’t exactly advertise this on the front of the box, so many an unsuspecting consumer tosses it in their buggy and moves on to the next item on the grocery list. And […]
Read MoreI’ve been sitting here staring at this screen for quite some time trying to imagine how I can distill all that I want to say to you into something resembling a letter and not a book. You were my first pride and joy; the one that turned the tide and made my life no longer […]
Read MoreIt’s 5:00 am. I have been up since 4:20 am when my daughter called to me over her monitor. I haven’t slept well these past few nights, so at least this morning I have an excuse to be up. My house is dark and quiet. Having had an early morning potty session my canine companions […]
Read MoreGood Lord I feel like I’m drowning. Do you ever have one of those days, weeks, months, when you just can’t seem to get your head above water? We had a great trip to the Bahamas last week. We saw some new things and Charli was really regulated and on her best behavior. We even […]

Dubbed “approachable luxury” this art-filled escape in the Dallas Arts District provided visually stunning abstract pieces, beautiful black and white photographs and unique statues and sculptures. The drinks at the hotel bar are named […]

We needed something a little larger, for only a short three years until our oldest girls move on to college, so we decided to rent. Our first […]
Read MoreI feel short of breath and depleted I have been fighting against an ocean current That at any moment will pull me beneath Rather than resist anymore I wonder what it would be like to succumb to the pull To let the water wrap me in a supportive embrace And fill my ears, drowning out […]
Read MoreTonight marks my last night as the parent of a public school 2nd grader. Tomorrow, we dive head first into home schooling. This was somewhat of an abrupt decision on my part (those who know me will not be surprised by that fact). Our seven- year-old daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). She needs regular […]
