I remember in school when they teach you about being an adult and having children they would always reference the “annual cost to have a child”. It’s usually around $275,842,012.03, give or take a few hundred depending on how needy your child is, roughly of course. I’ve come to realize it’s all a big scare…

Forgiveness and letting go…
So before I even begin, let me start by getting the obvious out of the way. I am a huge hypocrite. I can hold grudges until the end of days.I will remember the time you screwed up. I will throw it back in your face years and years down the road. But it’s time to…
S(ensory) P(rocessing) D(isorder) – how those three little letters (and words) have changed our lives.
Here’s something we don’t talk much about, but has such a great impact on our daily lives. A little backstory first. We aren’t ones to watch much TV, but we will occasionally binge watch shows on Netflix. This takes us back to roughly 2 years ago when we discovered arguably one of the greatest shows…
Today I am struggling
It’s safe to say my schedule is officially catching up to me. This morning I finally woke up after hitting my snooze button one too many times (did you know that after an hour your alarm clock basically says ‘well I give up’ and stops going off?) and felt like I needed to grab the…
Music, an escape within myself.

Ineffable, but I will try anyways…
I have a love of words. They create, destroy, comfort and inspire. They are meaningless, yet they are everything. Words are just a random assortment of letters. It is up to us to give them meaning, and when done effectively they can become powerful tools. So I have to be honest for a minute. I’m…
Parenting, and how somedays you just feel like a failure…
First things first, I love being a parent. It creates some of the strongest emotions I have ever had to deal with. Everyone wants to talk about the great times, the highs, when the world is going great. I’m not going to talk about those times. I’m going to talk about the moment I felt…
The “Unofficial-Official” start of Autumn
Yeah yeah, I know fall doesn’t “technically” start until September 22nd, but in my opinion, in the little world inside my head, today is the day. Summer is gently pushed aside to make way for the best months of the year. A sense of calm and peace rushed over me as I stepped outside this…
