To the Momma in the Dressing Room a Few Doors Down:
To the Momma in the dressing room a few doors down: I was already in my own room when you and your daughter came down the hall. I never ran into you after I finished trying on my own clothes. I will never know what you look like. But I have to tell you, I cannot...
For the Days When I Have Lost My Cape…
The other day, I took on a huge reorganization project. I had just gotten to the part where everything was torn apart and a crazy wreck, (You know, the part just before everything starts to look a little better) when I realized that the laundry was waist deep, the...

With the arrival of Spring came new sand for our backyard play area. My kids have spent what seems like every waking hour out there scooping and shoveling and digging. This afternoon, we invited our friends over to play with us. The group quickly abandoned the idea of...
Why I’m a Mess & That’s Okay

I married the wrong guy. It was the lie that played over and over in my mind for years. It was the base of every fight. It plagued our disagreements. It promised destruction. But I couldn’t make it go away, and it almost cost us everything. Long before I met my...
I Wave My White Flag: It is Time for a Cease-Fire
That’s it. I’m calling it. It is time to step over the imaginary lines that divide us. It is time to tear down the walls and the alliances and the us-vs-them banners that declare our loyalties. This is my white flag, and I’m calling for an end to all mommy-wars. When...
