I’ve been trying to think of a blog to write for weeks and weeks. I have nothing. I literally have not a single thought….no thoughts come into my head… Would you like to know why I have no thoughts? Because I am a catatonic, zombie, robot mom on autopilot. I’m going CRAZY with the rush … More The first day of school CAN NOT get here fast enough!

Years ago I heard a speaker say that parenting wasn’t about raising healthy kids, it was about raising healthy adults. The older my kids grow, the truer I can see that statement is. I was given the opportunity to hear a man speak a few weeks ago who said that by the age of 12 … More How to Launch
They say one in twenty six people will be diagnosed with epilepsy each year. Even with a family history, and a child with a previous nasty head injury, we still were not prepared to be one of the twenty six.

Her parents had a beautiful picture perfect marriage, she could proudly say that she … More Can arguing in front of your children really be healthy?
I can’t even tell you how many kids I’ve talked to who don’t see their parents date, and don’t even get me started on how mad I am at parents of teenagers who are clueless about dating because they’ve never ever had it modeled for them. … More Why your kids need to see you date your spouse.
I am the latchkey kid generation. We were called latchkey kids because many kids wore their house keys around their necks or attached to their backpacks because they had to let themselves into their homes after school. Both of our parents worked. We did not have helicopter moms, they didn’t have time to helicopter us, … More When “helicopter” was a mode of transportation and “free-range” was a farming term…

Like a sleep all day, take a bath, open a bottle of wine, no one around, no one needs … More Mothers day may be over, but its not too late to give us the gift we really want.
My aunt recently went on a job interview where the interviewer asked her at what age she got her fist job. This employer believes he’s stumbled onto something of genius.

Brittney, This weekend we just celebrated your sweet 16. I watched you at your party last night, continually surrounded by a gaggle boys fighting for your attention, and realized that all too soon we will be saying goodbye to our baby girl.
