A little about yourself...
I'm a thirty-something mother of two trying desperately to hold-it-all-together while juggling work, life and the perils of raising boys.

After surviving a 10-year stint in the music industry (Nashville, Tenn.) I am now living in the Washington DC Metro area with my family. In addition to blogging about nothing in particular, I also manage to work as an independent contractor in emerging media, event planning, writing and public relations as well as serving as a volunteer on various committees in the community.

How Far Would You Go For A Cause You Believed In?

Sometimes you need to take a stand for what you believe in, even if it costs you physical and financial pain.

I personally believe in a certain cause so deeply that I will be running 26.2 miles to prove it.



But let me back up first and tell you about the day that my life changed forever…



On this specific day a work colleague encouraged me to take a five mile run with her during our lunch…

My Son Brought A Rat Into Church The Other Day

My son almost dropped a rat into the communion wafers the other day.



I wish I were kidding.



Somewhere between me dropping him off for Sunday school and our attending Mass, my son was given a small fake rat by one of his friends.



That’s right. A RAT.



Why?



Why do little boys do anything like that? Who the heck knows?



I wasn’t privy to this information until midway through the church service. In all reality, I should have… Continue

Throwing a Mommy Tantrum...shocking?

I stomped my feet like a child yesterday. And I yelled.

LIKE. A. CHILD.

How embarrassing.

I just couldn’t take it. No one in my family was LISTENING to me.

How to tell if you've succumbed to MOM FRUMP (!)

I just got back from a weekend holiday at the beach.



I learned something about myself there. I learned that I am… FRUMPY.



Sooooo frumpy. Not just frumpy compared to 20-somethings. Get real. I wouldn’t even begin that comparison. I mean frumpy compared to other moms of my age and general life status. Seriously, if I don’t turn it around soon then FRUMP might be my destiny.



I’m gonna be honest with you - My pants are too tight. My waist is disappearing. I need a… Continue

One Mom's Bubble Bath Revolution

So I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut lately. I’m HATING the weather. Feeling moody and a bit uninspired. I’ve been spending way to much time in my house as well... cleaning. Ugh.







To make matters worse - I’m also looking for a job. I don’t think I need to even expand on that. Looking for a job in this market is, in a word, difficult. (‘Nuff said!)







So the other night I decided that I needed a break before I snapped. I thought about… Continue

Have you ever heard of a blog calendar with all of the important dates, holidays, special events that have occurred throughout history? I used to have a blog calendar, but I've misplaced it! If you have a link or pdf to a blog calendar, please send me a message and I'll send you my email address so you can send me the pdf copy or a link. Thanks!
