There's something to say about the everyday
A cousin of mine recently expressed the fact that she felt rejected after sensing that she was approached by a guy only as second choice to her sister. Her feelings prompted me to recount what I had experienced growing up with my own sister over the course of twenty some odd years. We weren’t best friends, not... Continue Reading →
The sun is shining, the weather is warming, the flip flops are out in full swing but, you, you look in the mirror and realize that your hair is three inches longer than it needs to be, you’re dressed in the drabby black and grey theme that has sustained you through the cold winter months...

I have a theory on what makes marriage and parenting successful. It’s not rooted in science but rather experience and anecdotal evidence.

It's four o'clock on a Friday. I'm at work in my skinny jeans and pumps ready to meet the girls for a well-deserved and much-needed cinq à sept when I get the dreaded phone call... "Babe, I'm shivering and my head hurts," he says. No shit, it's like minus two degrees and you spent the... Continue Reading →
