• My husband still gives me butterflies

  July 1, 2023

  Some nights I think of something he still doesn’t know about me. Some nights I think about a topic we’ve never discussed before. Some nights I think about something I don’t know about him and ask him the question. Tonight we talked about what signs we look for in ghosts. I met this wonderful man&...

• I’m pissed off at my sister

  June 14, 2023

  So, here's the thing. I'm the rock of the family--I always have been. I do everything for everyone. All through school, I helped everyone with their homework. In college, I helped with essays, math homework, I even made everyone's damn schedules for them because they didn't feel like they could d...

• A random act of kindness made my day

  June 12, 2023

  I stopped going to Costco when I was pregnant because it was far too difficult for me. Also, Costco is always weirdly crowded with people blocking aisles and stopping right in front of you. I had a couple bad experiences when I was pregnant and I vowed I would never go again. Well, I'm tired…

• A cute naptime story

  May 20, 2023

  BabyBoy always gives me a difficult time napping. I actually did a really good job sleep training once he was born, and he’s great at bedtime. But we go out so much that it feels impossible to keep a consistent nap schedule. I’ve always had to rock him or push him in the stroller to…

  Writing feels strange sometimes. I have all of these thoughts in my head but getting them out of my head is difficult. But when I was younger, writing when I felt like this provided such relief. So here's a stream of consciousness diary entry that might end up not making sense. Let's see if it&he...

• I’m a little drunk

  March 6, 2023

  I should be writing my book right now. I have a lot of thoughts but I haven't been able to sit them down and put them on paper. Instead, I've been the perfect housewife. Listen, I am somehow an amazing cook, yet I hate cooking. Every meal I make tastes better than the ones I've…

• Dead mouse story

  January 15, 2023

  I am freaking out.. I don’t even know if I want to write this down because I definitely don’t want to remember it. My parents have a cabin in the woods, and I used to go with them all the time. It’s very relaxing, and usually when I go there, I don’t want to leave.…

• Reading

  January 10, 2023

  I love to read. But not in the same way other people love to read. I’m very picky with the books I chose to read and, even then, I read slow. Pen in hand, underlining, circling, boxing words in a code only I can understand. Rereading phrases and paragraphs and chapters. Speaking sentences loudly ...

• I’ve never been so happy

  January 2, 2023

  I’m typing this on my phone because BabyBoy is asleep on my lap. Earlier today I was sitting between my sleeping husband and my sleeping baby and I just kept thinking about how happy I am. I love everything about my life right now. Today was busy. I don’t know how you working mamas do…
