I just feel discouraged lately. I don’t know what it is but I seriously feel like I’m losing my mind. Soooo many ideas, so many things on my lists to get done and here I am, wondering what the heck to do next. I’ve had conversations with my doctor(s) and seriously, I feel like I’ve […]
Since working on various campaigns, I was given the chance to donate to DonorsChoose.org. There are so many amazing projects teachers around the nation are using to help their students thrive. The other day, I was greeted with an envelope from DonorsChoose and sure enough, I got a smile when I saw this.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to channel your fabulous style into a great cause? Well, this power can be in the palm of your hand – literally! Conair invites you to curl (brush, straighten or blow-dry!) for the cure with the Conair® “The Power of Pink” product collection. As you know, October is National Breast Cancer […]
This post has taken alot to actually muster up the courage to put out there but I realized I have to give myself a way to heal rather than holding in and ignoring what really happened. Maybe I haven’t talked about it because of how taboo my circumstances were. I’ve been judged. I’ve lost “friends”. […]
Have you ever noticed that when a bad mood strikes, ice cream cravings and your appetite for salty pretzels (which I consider one of my four basic food groups) are sure to follow? Most of us are on to the fact that food and mood are connected, but the lesser-known news is that our junk […]
When starting to teach Baby Sign Language it is best to pick a few simple signs to begin with. The first signs to teach are ones which are really interesting and exciting to your baby – Mommy and Daddy are great starter signs, along with Milk and More. * MOMMY: To make the sign for […]

I’ve been wanting Aubrey’s haircut for awhile and well, she just doesn’t sit still for Mommy. I was nervous to take her back into a salon as let’s just say, mom gets embarrassed at the screaming. Boy was I impressed with her! She had a few squirm worm moments and fussed at me for a […]
One of my favorite sit down and enjoy some great food restaurants has always been Chili’s. There’s always something with that little bit of extra kick whether I’m out with friends or the entire family is out to eat. Right now, by signing up for Chili’s E-mail Club, you can get a FREE coupon for […]
I did it again. I tried to make myself believe that for some reason, my mom actually cared and could change how she’s treated me my entire life. She’s never had to take care of me. My grandparents did it. Then when she moved away from them and got married, she was ready for her […]
You’d think it would be a no-brainer. A relationship from hell should be easy to recognize. However, many women (and men) get into abusive relationships and stay in them because they don’t understand what constitutes abuse. I know this from personal experience. It took me nearly 12 years to leave a marriage that I later […]
Whether we’d like to admit or not, we are all coming to realize that Summer is on it’s way out and Fall is getting ready to come. Halloween things are showing up in the stores, and soon we will see trees covered with all shades of leaves. Recently, I’ve been trying to be a bit […]

“I’m My Own Worse Enemy” Boy does that apply for more reasons than one. For one, I should be sleeping right now but nerves have the better hold of me. Two, why the hell did I go read more about the pain medicine clinic? Obviously, I am seeing an anesthesiologist with strict orders about no […]
So as some of you know, I FINALLY received a referral to a Pain Medicine Clinic. Well, I will be going this Friday to the University of Iowa Center for Pain Medicine. Can I admit that I am scared? It’s just like prepping for a surgery-I’m limited on hours beforehand that I can eat or […]
