Embrace the Unknown – Say No to Fear

Embrace the Unknown – Say No to Fear

The Unknown. (cue the DUN. DUN. DUN. music) Does that scare you? I love embracing the unknown. What’s next and what’s new is what keeps life fresh and ever-changing. Good things happen. Bad things happen. It’s all life. It’s just how you embrace it. Hold on tight. Trust God. It’s all good. Yes, it’s that simple. You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. — Mary Manin Morrissey … Read entire article »

How Kidless Friends Can Help New Moms

How Kidless Friends Can Help New Moms

A new Twitter friend @sara417 posed the following question to me tonight: What can kidless friends of new moms do to be most helpful? Good question! My knee jerk reaction is: don’t judge your friends parenting skills until you have kids of your own. Poor Sara probebly thinks – wow she is rude, but I totally hope it didn’t come off that way!

It’s that time of year for us digital geeks – where we all embark on the great city of Austin, Texas to enjoy the festivities of SXSW Interactive (SXSWi). While I have to pass this year (wah!), I know the Twitter world we keep me a-buzzed to all of the happenings.

Flawed and I Accept This. Finally.

Flawed and I Accept This. Finally.

Monday morning was one to cry over, literally. I had broken my toe Sunday night, hoping it was a minor jam – only for it to continue to swell and exhert PAIN.

It’s one of those things that you really think you know when it will happen, but unless you induce or are a c-sectioner – it’s all up to the MAN UPSTAIRS. Seeing that the last kid I had (who in his defense WAS A WEEK LATE) – only had a 3 hour labor (yes, hate me – but I LOVE that kid) – watching my … Read entire article »
