‘Cause I don’t feel like it, that’s why.

So there. For all the talking (writing) I do about positivity and proactivity, taking chances and making change, sometimes it feels good on the inside to say - ‘yeah… well, suck it.’ A girl can’t be a rock star everyday. Sometimes you blow ‘em away, sometimes things just blow. Yin and yang, North and South, up and down. Feel that natural ebb and flow of energy? It’s totally normal. Everything cycles naturally. Life. Seasons. Moods. The weather. Babies. Business. Why would you be exempt from the wax and wane of best and worst? I can testify to the highs...

No matter how I say this, I’m going to sound like a catty, bitter middle aged woman jealous over someone else’s good fortune. But this month’s cover of W magazine featuring Demi Moore pisses me off. Apparently, there is big controversy over the ‘chunk’ of hip missing during photoshop process… examine the link and post your thoughts about it. Before I continue, may I say, Demi Moore is stunning.

Any MOM? ANYWHERE? Does anybody get it? Every once in a while, I just need a little melt down. I spent hours completing motherly duties on a +10 sunny Sunday. I scheduled a playdate with...

Little Lessons Learned in 30 Days

I’m a perpetual student – yet not always in the study and books kind of way. I like to read and learn, but most often my really important lessons come simply from living and loving and trying. I’m totally aware that I’m just a speck in the grand scheme of things, trying to figure out the big stuff – like how not to wreck my kids, how to build up instead of tear down, what makes people feel good and 1,001 ways to build interesting and healthy school lunches. Occasionally, when I’m feeling all worldly and wise and too big for my britches, the Universe conks...
