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…

Happy Birthday To Me
Well, here I am, 37 years old. Another trip around the sun, and, shocker, I’m still here. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far, but here I am, living to see another day. Can’t say I’m not grateful for it, though. I spent today the way any normal,…

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…

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…

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…

Stuck In A Rut
Lately, I find myself getting caught up in my feelings and trapped in my head about so many things. It’s as if my usual optimism is slipping through my fingers, leaving me more critical and self-blaming than ever before. Normally, I pride myself on having a positive outlook, on being…
