I will be the first to say I’ve fallen in to a rut when it comes to my hair. If you’ve met me, you’ve probably seen my hair in some version of ‘long’ and ‘down’, but I’m branching out… I’m learning new things and I’m getting crazy trying to style it (or maybe not CRAZY, but still TRYING!). Let’s be… View Post
Living In Fear: The Art of Pushing Your Limits
“Do one thing every day that scares you” – Eleanor Roosevelt. I have long found Eleanor Roosevelt fascinating. By the age of 10, both of her parents had passed away, leaving her to be raised by her maternal grandmother.

The sweet thing said, ‘Bit’… short for blanket – the piece of fabric that has accompanied her every move since birth. It might go with her to college. I’m not kidding. That and her thumb. These are two… View Post
I Believe Parenting Is A Process
Now, to you, this picture may not seem remarkable. And in many ways, it isn’t. My small dude has a little bit of bed head, he’s smiling as usual, and yes, you can see the remnants of last night’s eye-black still darkening his face. Feel free to judge me for letting him tumble in to bed at 10pm post-game without… View Post
