IT’S OKAY IF YOU DON’T READ MY BOOK.

IT’S OKAY IF YOU DON’T READ MY BOOK.

It’s not when you hit “publish” that feels surreal, it’s the day that someone tells you, “I finished your book last night.” I’ve heard lots of wonderful, amazing comments and reviews from people. They like the honest way I talk about my relationship with my husband;...

ARE YOU LATE FOR THE THINGS YOU LOVE?

Dare I be offended by the recent viral blog post about people who are late? Yes, being consistently late is rude, and yes, you should strive to respect other people’s time but what bothers me about this post is that it doesn’t address the root of the problem. Lateness...

“BUNK BEDS? ARE WE IN PRISON?”

SIGH.

(Explicit language advisory.) Well, I lost my shit tonight. I yelled at the neighbour’s teenaged son for driving a thousand miles an hour on our street while I was walking with my daughter. I called him out in my, “I’m a parent, I’m an adult, I know better than you”...

DO YOU SHARE SHOWER TIME?

The shower is my sacred place. Steamy, hot water, muffled sound reception and wonderful unencumbered alone time; it’s the metaphoric equivalent of returning to the womb. When the door is closed and the hot water is flowing, the answers to “life questions” pop into my...
SEVEN THINGS THAT DON’T MATTER FOR 2015

SEVEN THINGS THAT DON’T MATTER FOR 2015

It’s here. Every year I write an annual list of things that don’t (or shouldn’t) matter heading into the new year. The 2013 and 2014 lists had ten things – but given the shrinking attention span of the universe, I’ve cut it to seven. #7 Protein Shakes I’m going to...
