People from the outside love love love to judge people on how many kids they have. Honestly, myself included at times. We're all human y'all. And judging is part of that! I even judge myself, believe it or not! And if you've been following my blog, you'd know that to be true 😉 Well, this … Continue reading I Have 50 Children

You Got This!
“Ok, let’s go somewhere else.” Did that group of four women just leave the area at the very moment I arrived? Holy, shit! My worst fear has finally manifested! And it only took 35 damn years.

The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain
Sometimes it’s Kelly Clarkson, other times it's My Fair Lady. Taylor Swift had an interview once where she said she was afraid that when she was in a happy relationship she wouldn’t be able to write about break-ups anymore, which has always been her jam. When I heard this I immediately disagreed. Once we are … Continue reading The Rain in Pain is Anything But Plain

Differentiating Between My Inner Child and My Actual Child
When we started social distancing last week, I was confused. We decided on no playdates, but neighborhood walks seemed okay. We kept our distance when speaking to people, even my toddler daughter did. There was one time though that as we were chatting, a child picked up a bug, which my daughter soon after picked … Continue reading Differentiating Between My Inner Child and My Actual Child
Inner Child Work: It’s Not You, It Was the Group Setting
Over the past decade I have read books and attended seminars about healing one's inner child. One time in the preschool classroom where I work, I was reminded of this concept. A child was crying and we were all getting frustrated about how to calm him down. And I realized that if this child were … Continue reading Inner Child Work: It’s Not You, It Was the Group Setting
