I used to be fun. I used to be spontaneous and I used to laugh. A lot. I don’t know what it is but I often feel like I’ve lost the essence of who I am. I was pretty popular in school despite being the president of the “nerd herd” and I was always confidentRead more
I think I have said no more in the last five and a half years than I ever have in my life. Why in the last five and a half years? Because that is when I became a mom. As a mother, I have become so good at saying no… pretty much ALL.THE.TIME. Mom canRead more
I am NO singer. I mean I love to sing in my car and can bust a move while singing along to my favourite tune but Idols will never be on my bucket list of life. If it were I would probably be a shoe in for the wooden mike. That being said, I haveRead more
