If you’re raising a kid in the digital age then you’ve likely experienced the comical discovery that your child has taken 700 selfies of their forehead after taking your phone when you weren’t looking. Or, if you’re me, your kid tapped enough wrong number combinations to disable your phone for a few hours. One San […]
Women have been fighting to have our voices heard since forever. We’ve had to struggle to prove our worth to take on what was once considered traditional male roles, like firefighters, police officers, attorneys and politicians.

Bet you are relieved that you (barely) survived the “terrible twos” and the even more fun “terrible threes”. And you probably thought you were in the clear after that. Nope.

I’ve stopped insisting that my guests “please excuse the mess” when they drop by my house. Instead, I’ve drawn a line in the sand with regards to how much mental, emotional, and physical labor I am willing to take responsibility for.
