I'm a 40-year-old soccer mom to two little girls desperately seeking sanity and hiding from the Barbie Pop-Tarts. I work as an editor and social media coordinator in business publishing. My husband, a former beach bartender, founded MouseCalls Computer Services here in Nashville. We have two mutts, one fish, and too much laundry. Estrogen and wine flow freely at our house.

Squashing The Remnants Of My Youthful Ego
I’ve been working out for a few weeks and have written off Cokes for Jesus (I figured if I could survive, excuse me if we could survive, a month of me not drinking my usual wine in January unscathed than surely soft drinks for Lent would be a no brainer) and although I have not [...]

Arms By Jillian Michaels, Butt By WordPress
Will she help me whittle my core? Only time and my ability to stay away from chocolate, carbs, and cheese will tell.
I have made it through the 30-minute Shred DVD by Jillian Michaels fourteen times since trying it for the first time earlier this month.
The cardio? Nearly kills me, especially the butt kicks, but I [...]
Preach It, Sister
Yesterday afternoon the girls came in with the hubby who’d taken them both to run errands after picking up Miss A from daycare. Miss C had had a snow day and she and I had been home all day so I must have had that “I need 30 minutes to myself KTHXBYE” look on my [...]
This Is Your Brain, This Is Your Brain On PMS
Head out the door late with 7-year-old to pick up 4-year-old at daycare as hubby is down for the count with horrible sinus infection.
4-year-old has meltdown after struggling to buckle her seatbelt in dimly lit SUV and 7-year-old calling her baby.
Threaten children with the “NO COOKIE at Publix” decree.
Arrive at store quite befuddled as children [...]
