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! […]
