I lie to my children. And you lie to yours. Yes, you do. Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Santa. See, I told you. My children are now young adults, ages 22 (almost) and 18, respectively. And it started off as a simple conversation with me asking them if they have fond…

I lost my Dad to a massive heart attack when I was 13 years old. He was only 50. I’m fully aware of the fact that some don’t have a Dad or may have a really crappy Dad. I, however, hit the jackpot when I got my Dad. And while…

What is our society’s obsession with multitasking? Almost every interview I have gone on in my adult life has asked that question. “Are you good/efficient at multitasking?” Well of course, I said I was excellent. After all, I’m a Mom. I can multitask my ass off. But, if you want…

2017 Super Bowl. The Atlanta Falcons were crushing the New England Patriots 28–3 at half-time. Half of the stadium emptied. I even turned off the tv. Those numbers would crush even the greatest of quarterbacks. But the Patriots, led by their quarterback, Tom Brady, came back to win 34–28 in…
