If you know me, you've probably heard about my family's crazy days. I often end up with a 2-hour total commute most days of the week. Needless to say, our family is pretty busy! And as a new mommy, I need a few things to get me through my day and keep my energy up. … Continue reading Things that Help Me Through the Day
It's been a while. Hey there. Here's some updates on life and writing. Life I've cut out soy (in addition to the milk I already cut out) from my diet on the suggestion of my son's doctor.

I want to talk about a new philosophy I've learned as a mom. There have already been many of them, and I'm sure there will be many more.
