Donald Trump is not this country’s problem.

November 14, 2016 by not your average mom 3 Comments

Donald Trump is not this country’s problem. I know he has said a lot of seriously shitty things. I know he has given some people the impression that hate, racism, and bigotry are okay.

Conversation on the ride home from swim practice: Number 4: Mom, we had an election last week. Me: Oh, really? Number 4: Yeah, we could vote for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, or we could check off “other” and write in a name. Me: Do you want to tell me who you voted for? Number 4: […]

We could all use 26 Days of Kindness right now.

November 19, 2015 by not your average mom 1 Comment

Sometimes when serious things are going on in the world around me I wonder, should I be writing about this? On September 11, should I be writing something serious? On Veterans Day and Memorial Day should the posts I write have something to do with those holidays? Because this started as a humor blog. It […]
