Living With Purpose
Multiples Illuminated – a book review Did you just discover that you are pregnant . . . with twins, triplets or more? I remember EXACTLY the moment that the ultrasound technician told me there were TWO heart beats. TWO? I had a just-turned-four-year-old and a 16-month-old at home, and this was a surprise I was […]
Why is it that we struggle with wanting to be more than mom? When I began this blogging journey, it was about two main things. Surviving the loss of my daughter Kathryn. Spreading awareness about TTTS and other maternal, infant, and children’s health issues as an advocate. I believe I have, and will continue to […]
Co-sleeping…. One of the hottest topics amongst mothers of young children… To Co-Sleep or Not? As many young couples do, when my first husband and I started talking about having a family, we had our list of things we would not allow our children to do. They would not throw tantrums in public. They would […]
Once again, I’m pleased to host a blog tour by Novel Publicity. I haven’t done one in awhile, but when they told me the author was CJ Lyons, I jumped at the chance! CJ is a best selling author in the thriller genre, and I’ve been following her for several years. I heard her on […]
March and April are always pretty difficult months for me. It’s March for Babies time, and I am dedicated and committed to raising as much money as I can each year.

Today is International Women’s Day 2016. “Women are still underrepresented at every level in the corporate pipeline. Many people assume this is because women are leaving companies at higher rates than men or due to difficulties balancing work and family. However, our analysis tells a more complex story: women face greater barriers to advancement and […]
I laughed really hard with a complete stranger in the grocery store line the other day. The cashier tried to run some of his items through on my bill. The man behind me stopped her, then jokingly said, “Unless you WANT to pay for them, of course?” I wanted to. It would have been super […]
I love a good romantic mystery book! I received an advance review copy of this book to share with my readers. I hope you’ll enjoy this short excerpt from Hiding In Plain Sight by Angela Evans. An excerpt: Kierra’s chest suddenly felt too tight to take a breath. She desperately wanted to tell him to […]
Do you ever wonder just WHAT it is that makes us so critical of other people and their decisions? Why is it that people seem so quick to jump all over someone when they do or say something that is not what they would say or do? Why is it so hard to show compassion […]
The truth is… everyone is different and it’s so hard to know what to say when a friend lost their baby. Even in my own group of moms I know. Some mothers want to talk and talk about their experience, while others keep a very close hold on their grief. Some want to be surrounded […]
Tonight promises to be either a REALLY exciting night for one person (or many people!) OR it’s going to result in an unfathomable amount of money still in the pot to be won at the next drawing. Either way, in the case that you win the 1.4 BILLION dollar lottery, I’m just gonna go ahead […]
How many of you dream to write your first book? I did. For years. And then I finally took action. And now I have FOUR books that I’ve either written or edited. If you want a 6-pack or a spotless house this year, my friend Chandler Bolt can’t help you. Not even a little. But […]
