a story from somewhere over the rainbow
It seems to me that guilt and being a parent kind of go together. If you are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about! Guilt… it’s inevitable — you are going to feel guilty more than once on your parenting journey. Now, with all the mom-shaming or just parent shaming in general, there’s even more […]
It has been almost 11 years since I became a mother and sometimes when I look at the three little girls playing around in my living room I can’t even believe it. I have three amazing little girls. There are times when I just watch them or look in on them when they are fast […]
OK ladies and gents… Can we talk about how important it is to raise our daughters with a decent self-image and how hard it is?! For one thing, every time they turn on the TV what kind of role-models are they seeing? Real everyday women, working real jobs in everyday life? Not quite… instead they […]
Did you guys know I apparently have a tween? Do ya’ll even know what a tween is? Because I had to look it up. My 9 year old daughter, who will be 10 in few short weeks came home not too long ago and informed me that she is indeed a tween. My first thought […]
Can I just say how excited I am to be back at it! I missed writing on my blog so much. I’m excited to share new things with you all. I’ve thought long and hard about what my first post back should be… I could talk more about post divorce life, or about my recent […]

Hello fellow bloggers and people who actually follow me… it has indeed been a while. I guess I could say I took a summer break and really that’s what I did… but mostly I just became tired. It’s been a wild ride these last two years, virtually everything in my life has been turned upside […]
I have spent most of my life caring too much about what other people think about me. If you haven’t, props to you, but you’re probably lying. The truth is most people care a lot about what others think of them. There are a rare few who have long let go of this train of thought […]
“Yep, they are all mine” If you are a mother of three kids or more, you get this (probably a lot). The stuff that people say to me when I’m out and about with my girls tends to drive me nuts, the looks I get don’t make things any better either. When my ex would […]
I don’t know one mom who hasn’t felt like a momster (mom+monster = momster) at some point. And if I had to guess those moms have probably felt like that more than once. It’s those crazy moments when two out of my three kids are fighting over which My Little Pony is theirs (there […]
