My husband and I use an app to track our finances. They send what seems like a gazillion emails a day, most of which I delete. Recently I decided to read one and at the bottom it listed our net worth. With a mortgage and student loans that number wasn’t very big…ha! Here’s the thing …

Don’t Hate
Have you ever been scrolling your Facebook Newsfeed and seen a picture of a cute kid with the caption, ‘If you’re not a hater, like this’? No? Just me? I find them hilarious but I usually click like because those are some cute kids! But ask yourself this, ARE you a hater? Do you have …
Transparent
My husband says I’m an over-sharer. It drives him absolutely crazy that I don’t mind telling people ‘personal’ information about myself. I always laugh at him when he says it because he’s the type of person who wouldn’t share anything with even me if he could get away with it. But I’ve come to learn …
Please Don’t Kill My Vibe
Have you ever looked at something your child does, says, wears, etc. and wondered who their parents were? No, just me? At least once a week I ask myself this when looking at my girl. One night at bedtime Josephine comes in my room with a skirt on, her Elsa heels, and an old t-shirt …
The Struggle is Real
It seems that every other week our headlines are filled with stories about race in America. From black people being killed by police, white women who ‘feel’ black, and comments about Mexicans being ‘rapists’ and ‘drug dealers’, we are inundated with facts, opinions, video clips, etc. on race in America. Well here’s what I think…and …
On Being Cute
Say hello to my two friends, Bootsie and Richie. We began our relationship about 3 months ago after I finally saw a podiatrist about my foot. I think we can all agree that there’s nothing cute about either one of these foot accessories, right? You know what else isn’t cute? Pain. You know what I’m …
Restless Spirits
A couple of days before we left for our trip I got sick. Leave it up to me to come down with an ear and sinus infection that required a steroid shot, antibiotics, and a six day dose of steroids. Now don’t get me wrong, I felt better; but, the problem with steroids is they …
Wherever You Go
While on our trip we had to chance to check out a comedian by the name of Mutzie. The night before his show he did a preview and he was hilarious. We decided to check him out and he delivered. He started out with the usual comedic fare, moved on to the audience, and then …
Cruising Together
For our 10 year anniversary Jacob and I decided we should take a trip…alone. It isn’t our first long trip without the kids and it definitely won’t be our last. Why? Because marriage is hard, and takes work, and when you add kids to the equation it gets harder. Statistically, the odds aren’t necessarily forever …
Sisterhood
Growing up I always wanted a sister. While I love my big brother dearly, he’s not a girl. I wanted somebody to talk about boys with, show off my outfits to, and watch chick-flicks with. He wasn’t doing any of that. After being burned by some folks in my teen years I decided that having …
