HELP! I’M EXPERIENCING SERIOUS TECHLASH
FACING BIAS SOMETIMES MEANS LOOKING IN THE MIRROR
The fact is, my bias towards the definition of beauty has prevented me from awarding my daughter the recognition she deserves from the people that mean the most to her. While trying to ensure she doesn't define her worth by her appearance, I'm stigmatizing beauty instead of redefining what it can mean.
THE METAVERSE ISN’T THE FUTURE, IT’S HERE AND IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME
With the total value of augmented and virtual reality products forecast to hit $36 billion while expected revenue opportunity in the metaverse to reach a trillion, I think it's safe to say that the evolution of Web 3.0 is something that, as parents, we're really going to have to monitor and closely manage.
MOVING WITH MOM & DAD – WHY I’M FOCUSED ON A GENERATION OFTEN OVERLOOKED
It's amazing how slowing down can open your mind. How it forces you to notice things you didn't pay much attention to before. In my case, it's my parents. Ok. Wait.

Here I was freelancing in an environment where the unspoken rule was to work well beyond the nine to five, where... Continue Reading →

Stop the madness! Staged Christmas cards, over the top holiday dinners, incredibly expensive and useless toys like Fingerlings, Hatchimals and L.O.L Surprise (whatever that is). Let’s not even talk about Elf on the effin shelf. Then there’s the constant barrage of morning and daytime talk shows featuring segments about holiday gift guides for your kids,... Continue Reading →

KINDNESS DOESN’T STOP AT CONVENIENT
Decked out in our finest outfits, last weekend my husband and I hit the town for a night out at a friend’s wedding. It was the first time since having the baby that we both put some effort into our appearance and were ready to eat, draaaank and dance. Unfortunately, minutes after completing the main...

HERE’S WHAT I REALLY WANT FOR MOTHER’S DAY
Twelve days after having our second child it was my birthday so my husband bought me a spa package that included a massage, manicure and pedicure.
