Growing up my mom always had a really close group of friends. In all reality, they weren't just her friends, or even best friends; they were our family. They were the women and men we referred to as our...

I write this not for pity but for acceptance. I kept this quiet because I didn't want pity. I've come to a point where keeping quiet doesn't help, and honestly I'm tired of being quiet. My son has Autism. We knew...

I hit the wall. My daughter, Ella, was two and I slammed my palm into drywall. To keep myself from doing the unthinkable, I put a hole in the wall of my hallway. With my hand. She had screamed for...

I have a confession, but my guess is I'm not alone: I do not drink enough. Well, nothing that hydrates me anyway. I have always had a hard time drinking enough water, and I really hate sports drinks. Their...

There is a quote I have seen countless times on Pinterest that I can totally relate to... Boys, n.: a noise with dirt on it. This is so true! My boys are inevitably dirty and extremely loud. Like always. I know so many...
