I did a thing for my 33rd birthday. Two years in the making, but the history behind my love of the sunflower goes way, way back. When I was four, my mother and I roadtripped from Minot, North Dakota to Denver, Colorado to start a new chapter in our lives. En route, we drove near […]
I have always had a very limited imagination. Could never fully enjoy the tales of hobbits on quests for mythical rings. Have always struggled to entertain urban legends and never had any interest in the #TeamEdward/ #TeamJacob feud. Can’t lose myself in fantasies about wizardry and witchcraft. While I love all many of the cult […]
Happy Friday! I am so excited to share some of my fave things these days! These goodies make me giddy, ease a little stress, and give me some peace of mind. I hope they do the same for you! Fun TV Time I loved The Weakest Link years ago, and now it is even better […]
I really didn’t want to. This was not part of my plan. But, I chose to take this route for the time being. The best choice for my kids; a rough choice for me as their homeschool teacher. Not only would I not receive the long awaited break from my kids this fall, but it […]
Are you lonely? I was too. It has taken a lot to get out of that mental space. I live for adult interaction, dirty jokes, deep conversations and a drink or two, and I prefer to do it all in person. But 2020 is making that super difficult. Between homeschooling, social distancing, and being so […]
Boss Mama. My Instagram handle is @theofficialbossmama. I’m trying to claim it as my own, my true pseudonym, but it doesn’t always fit. I definitely don’t feel like a Boss Mama lately. I feel weak. I feel like I should be doing more. I feel should be further in life. I should be crushing it! […]

What the world needs now:: more friendship, more love and support and more reasons to smile. Friendship According to The Golden Girls I found all that in The Golden Girls. I’ve been watching a lot […]
COVID-19 turned all of our lives upside-down. We’ve all had to adjust to homeschooling, financial instability and being home together while keeping this deadly virus at bay as much as we can. It hit hard. It caused panic and hardship. It caused death. But, there are some plus sides, some silver linings. Many gratefully gush […]
Sleep. Essential. Necessary. Sometimes difficult. I don’t have to remind you of how stressful life has been these days. You’re living it; you get it. For many of us, this added stress socially distances us from Mr. Sandman. But, let’s not dwell on viruses, uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed. Instead, let’s figure out what could work […]
If you’re anything like me, being hunkered down while the world, our country and our beloved city of Houston work to “flatten the curve” has caused some anxiety, stress and straight-up boredom. By day, we are pressuring ourselves to educationally stimulate our children’s minds, try not to feel completely bogged down by current events, and […]
