One of my nephews is getting married in two weeks, so I have been on the hunt for a dress. With losing almost 17 inches and 15 pounds, I was excited about my options. I found the ideal dress - chiffon, A-line, in a Fuchsia tone. I ignored the red flags. The fact that...

In true transparency, I don't have my shit together nor do I know what is happening half of the time. It was glaringly obvious when my mother was at my home with her caregiver the other day. I wanted to show her the new kitchen and they were picking up her laundry...

I start my morning in solitude. It is my little quiet corner of the world while the rest of my household sleeps. I sip my coffee, write my blog, and start my day in a state of contentment. Except this morning when I heard our bedroom door open. Are. You. Kidding. Me....

I want to apologize to all the trees that have senselessly lost their lives for the sake of useless paperwork. Having a child with a disability is a constant invasion of endless amounts of ridiculous surveys, questionnaires, and other redundant material that probably...

Look, I hope by now you all know I don't sugar coat things. That I don't tell you how perfect my life is or all the amazing things my family does for me. That's all bullshit. I mean, my family is great, but they don't fart rainbows and butterflies, friends. They are...

Let's chat about the power of an emoji. Those little symbols that some people overuse or perhaps they use them as a way to soften the blow. Like, "I'm sorry you're a loser" (insert smiley face). Sometimes I would really like to overuse the middle finger emoji as the...

I took my new lifestyle initiative on the road this week. Moving through the holidays with ease, I figured that vacation would be no big deal. First, let me be clear that since I did two six week rounds, I was eligible to move on to the VIP round which meant change....

My harsh reality is that leaving town seems to be harder and harder to do each time it is planned. But, this time, I was sure it was going to be different. My sister planned on coming in to stay with my mother for a few days and we had a caregiver in place as well. I...
