The Switch — Coffee to Tea

It has never been any question how much of a coffee lover I have been. I have always liked the stuff — from the first time my grandma let me take a drink from her cup (coffee and milk) to the time my dad took me out on a “date” and we went to the local coffee shop (and of… Read More

My New Favorite

My New Favorite

“So you know in horror movies where the girl’s like ‘oh my gosh there’s something in my basement. Let me just run down there in my underwear and see what’s going on in the dark.’ And you’re like what is your problem? Call the police. And she’s like ‘ok’ but it’s to late because she’s already getting murdered. Well, uh,… Read More

Adventures in Cloth Diapering: The Diaper Routine

Adventures in Cloth Diapering: The Diaper Routine

Most people would assume that cloth diapers = a ton of extra work. I wouldn’t necessarily call it that. There is a little extra work involved, but really I barely notice it. When changing the diaper a cloth basically is just like a disposable. I take the diaper off, clean the bum, put a new diaper on. Only difference is… Read More

The “That Kind of Night” Muffins

The “That Kind of Night” Muffins

So last week I had one of those “that kind of night” nights. You know — when neither kid decides to sleep and the husband worked extremely late so you can’t really ask him to get up to put the toddler back to bed because he himself has to be up in a few hours and so you end up… Read More

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
