Five Things I Learned This Year

The end of a year is always an opportune time to remember the best moments of the previous twelve months, revisit your goals, and reflect on lessons learned.

Crawdads, Moms, and a Judgmental World

I recently read Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, a beautiful coming-of-age story about a young girl who grows up in a North Carolina marsh. This book ran me through a gamut of emotions. Anger, hope, admiration, frustration, sorrow, joy. One question I kept circling back to was ‘how can a mother abandon her children’?

My Favorite Books This Year

Every year it seems that the earth’s journey around the sun gets a little shorter. I swear it was just January and then I made the mistake of blinking, and now it is the middle of December again. So before the new year begins, I thought I’d take a look back at the best books I read in 2018 (some are new, some are older), and share them with you.

Scheduling a Dream

Confession time. I am lazy. Super lazy. If I could, I would spend the whole day on the couch, watching reruns of Beverly Hills, 90210 and reading as many books as I could get my hands on.

It’s the Little Things

In honor of Thanksgiving, I wanted to write about some things I’m grateful for. But I’m going to focus on all the little things that help keep this mama of two preschoolers sane.
