Do you ever wonder why you didn’t get the career genes or the hobby genes from your parents? What I mean is, my mom was a teacher. My grandmother was a teacher. Guess it skipped a generation? I lost my shit trying to teach my then-third grader math during the pandemic lockdowns. I barely know…

What a week. I was home by myself with both kids this week. My husband was helping his parents with a medical situation in Florida. But life doesn’t stop when your own schedule changes. There is still school, field trips, sports practices, grocery shopping, homework, and everything in between. Even before you take on extracurricular…

It’s Women’s History Month. And it got me thinking about America Ferrera’s character in “Barbie,” who perfectly points out the wild contradictions and expectations that come with being a modern woman. As I prepare my grocery list or pack my kids’ lunches, it feels like no matter how hard I try, I can’t meet the…

I write this as I sit here with a glass of Zinfandel, knowing full well that I have to be up at 5 a.m. for my daughter’s first volleyball tournament of the season. We got a notice today stating that parking at the tournament isn’t guaranteed due to the snow. Also, the building is colder…

It’s only January, and I feel overwhelmed. We just made it through the holidays, and it already feels like winter is all about living for summer.

Somehow, now I feel like I finally have some breathing room to think outside of Christmas. In some ways, it felt like a Covid holiday. Everyone was sick (not us, save for my teenager’s…

Adulting is…asking for boring – I mean practical – holiday gifts. It’s that time of year again: LIST MAKING. From Christmas lists to New Year’s goals. I’d love to know, what’s everyone putting on their Christmas list (besides an f-ing break)? As a kid, I would never quite understand why my parents and older relatives…

I miss the Fall. Like the real Fall. Jumping in the leaves. Just admiring the leaves. Pumpkin picking. Baking apple cake. Haunted hayrides. I haven’t watched one horror movie all month. I guess it’s not too late. But September and October are filled with the hustle of birthday parties, sports, back to school obligations, etc.,…

I went to church this past Sunday for the first time in a few months. I hate to use summer as an excuse, but we get out of our normal routines, travel, etc., and unfortunately, that means forgoing Mass. I did chaperone my daughter’s church camp…does that count? Anyways, I have honestly been eager to…
