Out of my head and onto your screen.
Loving my daughter is easy. The first month of being a mom? Now, that's been a bit of a challenge. While perusing Facebook in the wee hours of the morning, with my tiny human holding me hostage by the nipple, I came across a clip from football coach and former ESPN analyst, Lou Holtz's undergraduate commencement...

And I thought pregnancy was a wild ride! I have come to the conclusion that nothing, literally nothing, can prepare you for labour and delivery.

Being pregnant is pretty wild and no matter how many books you read or apps you download there are bound to be some surprises along the way. (Ok, so I only read one book... but I have TWO apps...)

My sister and I decided to give it a go anyway and ended up confirming my suspicion: we spent 45 minutes stifling hysterical laughter caused by the audible farts of seniors. A... Continue Reading →
I once took a Facebook quiz, back when taking Facebook quizzes wasn't just something your parents and grandparents did, back when only students could have Facebook profiles, back when all Facebook photos were party pics uploaded from a digital camera... sigh, the good old days. I digress... I once took a Facebook quiz and it was called: "What colour is... Continue Reading →
I'm writing to you from a place I have been before. I'm writing to you because maybe, just maybe you've been here too. I'm writing to you because quite frankly, I need a bit of a kick in the ass. Here we go... I had the best summer. A little bit stressful, a little bit... Continue Reading →
