Stop and Focus

“Just focus on one thing.” That’s what my Fab Hub said to me tonight when I was having one of my over-stressed holy-crap-there-is-too-much-on-my-plate meltdowns.

Focus on Nothing

I have accomplished a whole lot of nothing over the last week. My To-Do list (that wretched thing) has just as many items on it as it did two weeks ago. It’s not for lack of effort or lack of finishing the tasks set forth there…it’s that as each item is crossed off, another (or…

Making Good on Some Promises

Sometimes life gets away from me. It’s kind of like an unruly dog. He snaps the leash and takes off running. I chase after him, the world a blur as it whizzes by… A few weeks ago, I did a post that included quite a bit of food. In that post, I mentioned that I…

The Light in Our Lives

Sunday was the second Sunday of Advent. It also happened to be the second night of Hanukkah. Ours is a two-faith home; Fab Hub/Dad is Jewish and Zilla and I are Catholic. At first glance, this is quite a disparity. But not as much as you would think.

Mother-Daughter Haircuts

Kidzilla and I took a trip to the salon for haircuts this afternoon. Finally!  We were both way overdue and it feels great to have a fresh cut and style. I always love and hate my hair right after a cut. On the one hand, it feels healthy and smooth and what I call “swingy.” …
