Not really, but hear me out. For close to two years I was in a legitimately abusive relationship. It teetered on physical abuse, but mostly just emotionally. This was a very volatile person. Someone who, out of nowhere would go bat-shit and break stuff, throw things, and call me horrible things. This would be followed […]
Voila. This just screams SUBURBAN MOM. Not a proud moment for me, as I still fancy myself a rock and roll city chick, but well, here I am, in the suburbs, about to push my kids on a stroller ride around the neighborhood. Let’s pick this apart. knit skirt: Target (from, like, 2009 actually. There […]
Taylor Swift released a surprise album last week. It was written and recorded entirely during quarantine. It evokes the magic of youth, the magic of nature, and the magic of scaled down piano-based production. It sounds like if twinkle lights evaporated off of the leaves in the morning, instead of dew drops. I have wasted […]
Today I found a lovely playing card. The 4 of Clubs, which is equivalent to the 4 of Wands in the Tarot, and which is an extremely auspicious card. I was helping my mom move an old desk out of her new house, and to move it we had to remove the drawers. There, under […]
Now back to babies. I’m trying to find a job. A real job. It’s been almost a year since I’ve had a real job, and apart from some freelance writing work I’ve picked up here and there its been almost a year since I got a paycheck. I had a plan to study and take […]

I have to continue to remind myself that, fundamentally, all humans want the same things; Safety, security, and love. That’s it. All of our physical and emotional needs can be lumped into those three categories. […]
Where to even begin. Remember in March when we were talking about the epic brunches we were going to have in April when this whole thing had blown over? And now we’re mid-May and just starting to tip-toe back out into the world. While in hibernation, I hope you got clear on what it is […]
While we’re on the subject of babies, because that seems to be the biggest focus in my life right now, I want to talk about sleep regressions. My friend Avuhduhbuh teases me because I refuse to buy into the whole “sleep regression” thing. Also, before I begin on that rant, I just need to get […]
If you read my last post, you’ll recall that I have approximately 9lbs to lose in order to get back to my pre-baby weight. And you’ll recall that I’m damn sure going to lose them because I don’t feel like expending the energy to “learn to love” my current baby-bod. But I still benefit from […]
Dude, its so hard to be female. Let me start out by saying that through both pregnancies, I gained within the recommended weight range for my BMI. I think I maybe reached 30lbs, which is perfectly split between the 25-35lb recommended for me. ::And humblebrag over:: Because BOTH times, after all was said and done, […]
