People often comment that Wolfgang and I have a really unique relationship. I’ve been single for most of his life, so he’s been the only one at times to see my weird behaviors…and he’s still kind of normal. But lately, we have been talking about doing videos, so we bit the bullet and we’re doing…
Mom Power in Incredibles 2
All of the art in this post was provided courtesy of the Walt Disney Corporation. I was provided with complimentary passes to an early screening of this movie. Y’all know how much I love Disney. That’s no secret. I listen to the music, I visit the parks. I wear the teeshirts and on bad days,…
High School Graduation, by the Numbers
Wolfgang’s high school graduation has turned into a series of numbers, and a lot of counting. The ceremony is on Saturday, and I am tearing up just thinking about that. Let’s count down. Thirteen. 13 years since we started this school journey, with that walk down the street to kindergarten that very first day. 13…
Operation Birthday Badass (or “Getting Fit for Forty”)
I’ve gotten really out of shape. Working from home for nearly 4 years, I have gained nearly 70 pounds. I am tired a lot, my joints hurt and my blood pressure is moderately high. I have not taken care of myself. It’s nobody’s fault but mine, and I need to fix it. I know I’ve…
Yes, I Think It’s Too Soon For You To Date.
I have been single now for just shy of 6 years. Single for me means that I haven’t even gone on a single date. Well, there was one outing, and I thought I was pretty clear up front about how it ABSOLUTELY was NOT a date. Apparently the words “just to be clear, this is…
“Incredible” Coloring Night with the Family!

How To Celebrate Mother’s Day When You’re a Single Mom
Holidays as a single mum are hard, no matter which way you slice it. You can get extended family involved, but when it all boils down to it: all the planning, the paying and the execution are solely on your shoulders. It can be a bummer, I totally understand. 2/3 of the Mothers’ Days I…
How To Handle Getting Sick While Traveling Alone
I took a trip to Philadelphia last month, and it was pretty great, other than one small detail: I got the flu. I spent the last two and a half days of a 5 day trip shaking, feverish and one day just sleeping on the bathroom floor (in between bouts of eliminating everything I had…
15 Shows You Need to Binge On Netflix or Hulu (April 2018)
I joke that I don’t date because my primary relationship (outside of my children) is with my streaming video services. Netflix and Hulu are my boyfriends, I guess. I need to get out more. I see a ton of posts on social media asking for recommendations for shows to binge while one is sick/bedridden/unemployed/bored, so…
