Running on Fast-Forward
Lately, life has felt like one long marathon that I never actually signed up for. Between working, raising kids, and managing the never-ending circus of daily responsibilities, my days feel like a blur. I keep waiting for things to slow down, but instead, they just seem to pick up more…

Christmas 2024 Is Over!
Well, folks, Christmas has come and gone, and if I had a dollar for every time someone said, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” I’d have enough to pay for all the gifts I just spent months preparing. Spoiler alert: it’s not always so wonderful when you’re the…

Best Halloween Ever
Let me tell you, Halloween is usually not my thing. I’m the first to roll my eyes at the endless costume ads, pumpkin spice this-and-that, and people decorating their yards like it’s a gothic amusement park. But this Halloween? This Halloween was perfect. I spent the night chilling with my…

14 Years Old
Yesterday was my middle daughter’s birthday—14 years old! How did that even happen? I swear, I just blinked, and now here we are, one foot in the teenage years, one foot still clinging to her childhood. It’s absolutely crazy how fast time flew by. One minute I’m chasing her around…

Deep Clean
Ah, sleep. That elusive, mythical thing that everyone talks about but never seems to experience—until recently, of course. After what felt like a lifetime of rolling around in bed, staring at the ceiling, and wondering what it would be like to feel human again, a breakthrough finally happened: a couple…

Oh Sleep, Where Art Thou
Lately, sleep and I have been on pretty terrible terms. Like, we’re talking full-on breakup status. I’m out here busting my butt, running around, doing a million things every day, and what do I get in return? Maybe four hours of trash sleep that does absolutely nothing for me. I…

Quality Time Together
There’s something uniquely special about spending time with my daughters. As they grow, I’ve noticed how our bond evolves, especially when we find activities that we all genuinely enjoy. Lately, our go-to bonding time has been spent in the colorful, creative world of Roblox, where we’ve discovered a shared love…

Exhausted But Blessed
If I ever needed proof that I’m living in some kind of chaotic circus, this back-to-school season is it. Juggling three kids—ages 16, 13, and 5—has been like herding caffeinated squirrels, but hey, who needs sleep when you can run on stress and caffeine? First, there’s my 16-year-old, who’s got…

My Crazy Circus
Raising three daughters is like being the ringmaster of a circus where all the performers are hormonal, opinionated, and apparently hell-bent on driving me to drink. My oldest is all about makeup, beauty, and fashion—basically, she’s on her way to becoming a Kardashian without the reality show contract (yet). And…

Oh Boy, Sweet 16!
Seems like not too long ago she was a tiny bundle of joy, learning to walk and saying her first words. And yesterday, my oldest daughter turned 16. SIXTEEN! How did this happen? One minute she’s in diapers, and the next she’s asking for car keys and talking about college.…
