I have a child diagnosed with ADHD. Life can be… well, challenging. Let me just walk you through a typical morning in our house. “Bug, go get dressed. Your ride will be here in ten minutes.” This is probably already the 18th time I have told him to get dressed. “Bug, go into your room […]
My “Push Present” – The Treadmill Desk
Launching our book Lose the Cape! Realities from Busy Modern Moms and Strategies to Survive was in many ways like birthing a baby. Our book baby. While I won’t go into any gross descriptions or comparisons, suffice it to say, it was a lot of pain followed by tremendous joy, followed by a crap ton […]
9 tips for getting your kids to eat veggies
If you don’t have to play the game of “hide the veggies,” you are lucky. However, many of us struggle with kids who just DO NOT want to even try. I remember being a kid. I remember how much I detested not only the taste, but the texture of squash. I felt like I was […]

My daughter will not be less successful because I stay at home
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 […]
The Fitbit Failure
I have been making a much larger effort to get some exercise back into my life. I let it go for a long time, and my body has suffered tremendously for it. While writing Lose the Cape! I spent a lot of time sitting down. That only made things worse. So as a “push present” […]
This is what three years of blogging has taught me…
Apparently I just celebrated my third year anniversary with my blog. I didn’t remember, but LinkedIn told my husband to wish me and No Holding Back a happy three year anniversary. So there you go. What it means to me is that three years ago I decided I needed an outlet to express my sadness, […]
Kathryn and Tiny’s Twin to Twin Transfusion Story
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared about Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) on my blog. Since that’s why it all began, it seems only right to share periodically. Additionally, the TTTS Support Team is trying to raise some funding for some projects, and I’d like to highlight their efforts. (More on them at the […]
Total Reset Required
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 […]
Goat Cheese & Mushroom stuffed chicken breast {21 Day Fix}
I had an appointment with my rheumatologist the other day and both of us were shocked at the amount of weight I’ve gained over the last six months. Poor eating choices, too much wine, stress, not getting good sleep, and sitting at a desk for hours on end while trying to get lose the cape! […]
State of the World’s Mothers
Save the Children’s latest State of the World’s Mothers report was released today. The news is not good for babies born into poverty even in urban areas: “Our new report reveals a devastating child survival divide between the haves and have-nots, telling a tale of two cities among urban communities around the world, including the United […]
Comfortably Numb
Is there anybody in there? Sometimes I wonder myself. Every time I hear the song “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd, it puts me in a trance. My mind wanders off to a time when life was simpler. A warm spring Sunday in college, when my boyfriend and I lounged lazily on the couch and absorbed […]
International Bereaved Mother’s Day 2015
I’ve kept myself so busy this year that I almost missed it. This Sunday is a special Mother’s Day. It’s a day to remember the mothers whose baby or child is no longer with us. Bereaved Mothers. International Bereaved Mother’s Day 2015 is Sunday, May 3rd. Carly Marie has once again put together a special […]
Rain or shine, tomorrow we march for babies! #whyIWalk
This is our FOURTH year raising money for the March of Dimes with Team Charis and Kat. Each year gets a little more difficult to raise the money. Each year I continue to beg and plead to bring in as much money a I can. And each year I am blessed by the number of […]
