My best friends are inevitably people with whom I feel free to be completely and utterly myself. And myself is weird. As a mom I think the best advice I can give to any other mom is to find people as weird as you and surround yourself with them. Make them your tribe. Those weirdos are the ones who will help you survive when everything at home is covered in baby puke and cat hair. The Best Thing A Mom Can Do Is Find Friends As Weird As Her, And Make Them Her Tribe I’ve gotten pretty good at pretending to be normal. I wear slacks and cardigans and flattering colors. I can carry on a Keep Reading >>>
How Bathing A Cat Shows What Kind Of Relationship You Have
I love my boyfriend. We have a solid relationship built on love, trust, and mutual care of our three cat overlords. I say this because sometimes when you have cats things...happen. And when said things happen (read poo gets stuck in fur, fur must be cleaned), it's usually a two-person job. Thus I have learned, over time, how bathing a cat shows what kind of relationship you have. How Bathing A Cat Shows What Kind Of Relationship You Have Today, as I sat down to write up a few posts, my boyfriend bellowed my name. Now, this isn't an unusual thing. We're pretty good about communicating Keep Reading >>>
My Tree Will Never Make It To Christmas…
Every year we go through the same thing: I put up a Christmas tree; my animals do everything in their power to take it down. I'd say it's the circle of life, but the truth is this is more a battle of wills between me and those little furry beasts I call pets. It's like they're possessed. And I don't understand...I mean, it isn't like the tree ever did anything to them. It's not like the tree comes in out of the cold throwing shade or something. It's a tree. And yet, every single year it happens...and the sad truth is I know how this is going to go down: my tree will never make it to Keep Reading >>>
Why I Chose To Be A LuLaRoe Evangelist
Calling myself a LuLaRoe Evangelist sounds way better than saying I couldn't handle it as a consultant. Over the last few weeks I've had a lot of people say to me, "Man! You'd be a great LuLaRoe consultant!" And you know what? I probably would be! But I don't choose to be. And there are some really important reasons why! Why I Chose To Be A LuLaRoe Evangelist I love reading all of the consultant's stories about how LuLaRoe had changed their lives. It's given a struggling family financial freedom, it's let a single mom put her kids through school, it's changed lives. I love these stories. Keep Reading >>>
When Do You Admit The Relationship With Your Pet Isn’t Working Out?
I'm an avid pet lover. I love animals. Any shape, size, whatever. I dig animals. I probably should have been a zoo keeper, but I made other life decisions. Which means that my house is comfortably full of animals. We capped our limit at six, some have fur, others don't. And, as one does, I belong to a lot of animal lover groups, loops and meet-up's. There was this one morning a few months ago when a regular group member came into our cat lover coffee meet-up. It was clear this person had been crying. I cringed.
