I’ve been a mother now for over 13 years. If you count the time that I was pregnant with KitKat, my darling teenager, then we could just round up to 14. Fourteen years. Motherhood is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. If I’ve done my math correctly, I’ve clocked approximately 122,640…

The Best Movies You’ve Never Seen
Twice a week, I sit down on my basement floor with a pile of laundry that often extends above my head. Laundry for seven is not an easy thing to keep up with. And since it typically takes me over an hour to tackle the laundry, and since we don’t have cable, I always pop…

2 Graduations and a Milestone
My hope that life would settle down (and slow down) after I got back from the Casual Blogger Conference at the beginning of the month was in vain.
