Living With Purpose
Hm… I have never used 3 hashtags in my title! That was fun! It’s a FUN day! First of all, I haven’t been blogging much over the past couple months. That has to do with a few things. I have had some ups and downs in my personal life, but I’ve also been waist deep […]
Y’all. Probably the funniest story I have of my sweet boy happened when he was about five years old. He was just old enough that I was allowing him to run back and forth between our neighbor’s house on his own to play with the neighbor, who was also five. But, here’s the problem. As […]
She howled out as I tugged, perhaps a little too viciously, on the tiny little lice catching comb. She wriggled and tried to escape me, but I held on tight. Through gritted teeth I muttered some kind of threat on her well being if she did not sit there and take it like a four-year-old. […]
It’s about time for school to start again, and I’m reminiscent of my son’s first very-bad-day of Kindergarten. The Terrible, No Good Rotten first day of Kindergarten. He never wanted to go back… thankfully that changed eventually. Jelly Bean, the five-year-old, starts Kindergarten this year. Here’s hoping I don’t have to write another post! 🙂 […]
Despite the title, I am not some kind of crazy cat lady. I don’t even have a cat. But I did. And those were glorious days. At least as I remember them. Now I have three young children and a rambunctious puppy, who once set our kitchen on fire. Often I find myself thinking back […]
I am really excited to share this upcoming online free parenting summit with you. Elisabeth Stitt, the host, contacted Kerry and I a couple months ago about being “expert” guests for this event, and we were more than happy to discuss our book Lose the Cape: Realities from Busy Modern Moms and Strategies to Survive and talk about our […]
I am happy to be helping out with the blog tour for the Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness 2nd Edition book launch tour. Dawn Dune of the W.T.F words thoughts feelings blog is our guest blogger today, and she is sharing her heartfelt take on living in the moment, despite being so dang tired. photo credit: Krisztina.Konczos […]
In case you aren’t following us on our official Lose the Cape website – we made a big announcement a few days ago! Are you ready for Lose the Cape 2?? It’s coming, and we want you in it? Introducing Lose the Cape! Never Will I EVER … (and then I had kids) We invite everyone […]
I’m going to try to calm myself down right now. I’m irritated by the latest study I heard about that will just further wedge a divide between moms who work and moms who don’t. A new study by Harvard University claims that children, particularly girls, who have mothers that work will be more likely to […]
Back when I worked in the military and in law enforcement, we talked about “mission creep.” You’ve got a job to do, and slowly, but surely, people keep adding on to your job until you’re so swamped with ancillary stuff, you can hardly get your real job done. You forget what you’re supposed to be […]
We hear those words, and yet, it’s often really hard to digest them. You are enough. You ARE enough. How often as a mom do you beat yourself up? I should have … I could have … I didn’t … I blew it … Did I make the right choice? It’s so easy to compare […]
Who is ready to #LosetheCape with us? In just a little over a week (SOONER if you buy the ebook which launches on the 23rd!) our book will be IS NOW out there for everyone to love. Cause you will. Right? Well, we think so anyway! The response to #LosetheCape has been great so far. We’ve […]
To me, the hardest part about motherhood is how much of ME I feel like I have had to give up. That sounds petty and selfish and just wrong… but I know that I’m not alone when I say I miss the freedoms I had before children. I miss being on my own schedule, going […]
We are really excited to announce that the Kindle version of our book: Lose the Cape: Realities from Busy Modern Moms and Strategies to Survive is LIVE for pre-order on Amazon! (It’s not really only 10 pages long, we just had to submit a sample for the time being. You’ll get the whole book when […]
