  • Why “Taught Shoe Tying” Will Never Be On My ResumeMay 12, 2022
    It’s no secret that my kids getting older absolutely skewers me.

  • How Having Three Kids Instead of One Has Taken Me From an A+ Mom to a Proud C-ish MomOctober 6, 2021
    I’d just like to write a post to take a knee for the mom I was with only one child. I fully recognized my average score on the mom-scale had dropped as I drove my three kids to their schools. Two at our elementary, and one at a preschool…all starting at the same time. It’s
