BLOG
All the Blogs
Here’s where all the magic happens. And by magic, I mean here’s where I write stuff for you to read. I talk marriage, parenting, modern gender angst, and my take on the small and big moments of being a human, which turns out, isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Mostly it’s comical stuff, but sometimes I like to play an Air Supply song to slow things down a bit and make my move to make out with you – metaphorically, of course. It’s not that kind of website. The blogs are sarcastic, satirical, at times swear-filled, at times straight from the heart, always honest, and hopefully relatable. It’s for women and men who have a killer sense of humor and daily wonder, Is anyone else losing their mind? I’m happy to report that, yes, we all are. You’ll see….
