Family Game Night :: 13 Must Own Board Games Who doesn't love a family game night? It can be hard finding quality games these days. We're a game loving family, insanely so. I grew up playing games with my siblings, and thankfully my husband is an even bigger game fiend than I. He's actually in a few board game groups on Facebook (and let me warn you, those folks are cray!), but thanks to some of those groups we've discovered some really fun games that ALL of us can enjoy! I'll give you the run down...
Recently, a celebrity couple announced their split on social media. The short non-explanation announced they were splitting after 10 years as they had grown apart. I made the mistake of reading some of the thousands of comments keyboard warriors had left. Part of me wasn’t surprised to see these comments, while another part of me was absolutely appalled. It's Her Fault. Some blamed the wife for being too ambitious in her career and him stepping up to run the household and be the primary caregiver for the kids – “it was over when he retired and let her wear the pants.” It is 2020 people. Gender-specific roles in the home is so 1950. Men are more than capable of handling the household...
As moms, Mother’s Day is always special. Sure, the “one full day of pampering” our homemade coupon promises probably won’t ever happen, but it’s the thought that counts. Personally, my mom is my best friend and ultimate inspiration when it comes to all things motherhood. I don’t buy her gifts regularly, but it doesn’t take an annual holiday to remind me how blessed I am to be hers. Because of my relationship with my mom, I have a really difficult time imagining life without her. Now that I have babies of my own, the thought of navigating motherhood without our daily FaceTime calls is a scary one. I genuinely need her advice and reassurance on a daily basis. My very best friend...
Dear Miss Wanda, I didn’t know about you in February and I didn’t know about Ahmaud or how he left to go for a jog and unjustifiably lost his life. I’ve only known who you are for two weeks. We live in separate states and I realize that, but I wonder if I would have known you or Ahmaud if you lived on my street. Yesterday, I shared his post about his hashtag #irunwithahmaud on my social media. Whenever I saw that it was going viral, I immediately felt called to put on my shoes and think of him the entire way. I thought about taking out my baby boy’s stroller and heading out with all three of my sons today...
If you know me, then you know that grief and I go way back. We first met in 1990 when I was 13-years-old. I barely knew myself, yet I was expected to familiarize myself with such an unwelcome visitor. The worst part of that whole experience was having to go through it without the one person who'd been my guide and support through everything else .... my mother. My mother was the person I was grieving. Did I mention that I was only 13-years-old at the time? Now, trust me, there's no ideal age to say goodbye to your mother. It doesn't matter if you're 13 or 73, the pain is still the same. That's because no matter how old...
