Always evolving, Never Average
My marriage is really fucked up. It is unhealthy and troubled, and it has been that way for a long, long time. My husband and I go through varying levels of dysfunction, and the past few months have been at like Level 10 Fuckupedness. There hasn’t been any infidelity. There is no addiction. Just an …Read More
This is one of the only pictures I have of myself with the kids for about a six year time period. It’s a terrible picture of me. And when I saw it, I silently decided I would not be in any other pictures for an indefinite period of time because it was just so awful. …Read More
One of my goals is to help women, and moms in particular, to reclaim their inner badass. I think it’s so easy to lose this once you have kids. Initially, it’s kind of required to focus solely on the kids. You need to make it all about the baby in the first few months. But …Read More
The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we always put our Christmas tree up. We started doing this ten years ago after we moved into our house. At the time my grandma was still alive, and she LOVED kids and I knew how much she appreciated spending time with mine and just watching them. So my parents would …Read More
Every year we get our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am not a go-to-a-Christmas-tree-farm-and-cut-down-your-own-tree kind of girl. Back when the kids were younger I just couldn’t imagine doing something like that with all the kids, and now we have an established tradition. There is a grocery store here in Connecticut called Stew Leonard’s. …Read More
I started writing this post but it was kind of sounding like a third grader’s narrative story with a whole bunch of thoughts and details that aren’t really all that interesting or pertinent to the story really. So let me start again and be as to the point as I can be. Six years ago …Read More
When I was a kid we’d have these epic Thanksgivings with like thirty relatives and we had two or three tables strung together and I loved it. It was like the Thanksgivings you’d see in the movies. Over the years, our Thanksgiving celebrations have dwindled down to less and less people. Relatives moved away, great …Read More
Since I’ve been taking better care of myself, getting dressed is a lot more fun. My clothes fit better, and I’m more confident, and I just care more about my appearance in general. Okay, so it also helps a lot that Betsy Boo’s Boutique has asked me to partner with them. And I just got …Read More
We are a couple days away from Thanksgiving, and I just want to give you all a reminder. The holidays, and Thanksgiving in particular, are meant to be a time for you to really think about what really matters to you. And who really matters to you. To spend time with those people if you …Read More
It has been a while since I’ve updated you on my progress in the getting fitter and healthier department. Just because I haven’t updated you doesn’t mean I’m not still getting fitter and healthier. I am! But while the title of this post is Week 32, this getting healthier thing didn’t start thirty-two weeks ago. …Read More
