Parenting is the ultimate adventure. That was the first line of the Netflix Streamteam member email I received this month. It was hard for me to get past that line because it is such a simple truth. I have done a lot of adventurous stuff in life. I have moved across country on basically a hope and […]
Kids Can’t Break Me #streamteam
As a member of Netflix’s Streamteam, I got early access to your newest favorite show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. (Trust me.) I only give honest opinions and I know you’re going to love this show. The main character, Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper), survives being locked in an underground bunker for 15 years. And it got me […]
Motherhood is harder than I thought.
Motherhood is harder than I thought. But I’m doing the best I can. And some days…that’s not good enough. Some days I yell at my kids because I spilled the milk. Or because I turn my back for a minute and my two year old follows another mom out of the door at RaceTrac. Or because […]
Paddington is a sweet movie for the whole family #PaddingtonMovie

Disney Planes Fire Rescue will be released on Blu-ray and Digital HD on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 (which also happens to […]
#March4Peace & Prayer Vigil THIS Saturday in Atlanta
I’ve been watching the news lately and thinking the mom marching in Ferguson, MO is no different from me. The boy who died in the street is no different from my son. The dad fighting to protect his family from injustice is no different from my husband. And I started thinking I wanted to do something to […]
