I’ll never be in hiding again.

January 19, 2017 by not your average mom 18 Comments

Almost two years ago, inspired by Robin Wright in House of Cards, I cut my hair. It went from being past my shoulders, to above my ears. I’ll be honest. I was  pretty scared to cut it short. But once I did it, I loved it. And over the course of the last two years, I’ve […]

Beauty isn’t only skin deep.

I used to always look younger than my age. And now, at 47, I think things are catching up with me. I’ve got serious crow’s feet. My eyelids are getting heavier. My eyebrows are disappearing (what the hell??? — nobody warned me about that one). The chin and neck hairs are becoming increasingly difficult to […]

You are not the extra pounds you are carrying around your midsection. You are the safe spot your children seek for comfort. You are not the cellulite you notice on your legs.

Back in September, I taped a segment for the Dr. Oz Show. It hasn’t aired yet, and I’m not sure when it’s going to air. The build up to that show was pretty huge for me. I hadn’t ever done anything like that before. It was exciting and I was nervous. I’m not really supposed […]

To be old and wise you must first be young and stupid.

October 10, 2014 by not your average mom 6 Comments

Back when I was a teacher, I remember going on a field trip with my class. There was a mom chaperoning who was sitting across from me on the bus. She had on this v-neck t-shirt, and I was looking at the skin on her chest. It had some visible wrinkles in it. Not just […]
