The decade meme It started out innocently enough. Someone on Twitter sent a tweet noting that the 20-teens were almost at an end and prompting people to reflect on what they had accomplished in the last decade. The tweet went viral with thousands of users, including mom-twitter and parenting-twitter, replying and laying out their ten-year […]
Dear Homework, Thank you so much for your many messages over the past few weeks since the kids started school! I thought I knew you pretty well but you’re throwing me some surprises this year – keeping things fresh, are you!? TBH you’re coming on pretty strong but I’m trying to adjust to the new […]
When I first moved to Houston in July 2017 and started to make friends, I started to hear talk about “Homecoming.” I had heard about Homecoming from movies and TV, but had always assumed it was just another name for Prom. I could not have been more wrong! My first clue about Homecoming :: the […]
Step aside Sephora, Momma’s out of milk and mascara and only has time to make one stop! That’s a true story, and one I faced recently. As I grabbed said mascara en route to the express H.E.B. check out, I realized that over the past year, I have replaced all my my beloved Sephora products […]
Moms often feel pressured to do it all. But sometimes, a “To-Don’t” list can be just as valuable and affirming as a “To-Do” list. Summer is a conflicting season for moms. On the one hand, we just want to relax from the hectic routines of the school year. On the other hand, we want our […]

I’ve been on solo parenting duty for the past week, and still have a week to go. Already, I’ve handled a whole lot of situations. My 8-year-old, up way past her bedtime:: “Mommy, what exactly is sex, anyway?” And the next night :: “Mommy, if God created us and we want bad things does that […]
Today is my middle son’s 11th birthday. He is my “boys’ boy.” He’s tall, strong, and sporty. Give him any kind of ball and he will intuitively know what to do with it. He has sports stats memorized from games I didn’t even know he watched. He insists on NO GIRLS at his birthday party […]
