How do you lure your kiddos away from their screens? With screens! As my kiddos are getting older, I’m learning the best way to coax them out of their bedrooms and off their phones is to dangle a kickass TV show in front of them. And Holden and I just started watching the PERFECT one.…
So about a week ago, Zoey and I were driving back from Lollapalooza and we had a long car ride, and at first she said she was going to sleep on the way home, but we ended up talking instead. Car rides are the absolute BEST time to talk about serious things with your kids…
Okay, so the way I see it, I basically have two choices with Holden. I can NOT get him a cell phone right now and he won’t be able to communicate with his friends in junior high because literally all of them have phones already, or I can get him a cell phone and TEACH…
We didn’t need a new house. I LOVED our old house. But stoopid Covid made us stay at home all the time and for some reason we started to THINK we needed a new house. And then one day I was scrolling the Internet and this plot of land on a cul de sac came…

Holy crap, last night took ten years off my life. If not more. I still have that feeling of WTF just happened. Let me start from the beginning. So I’m sitting on the couch watching The Bachelor with my hubby when I get a text message from Zoey. ZOEY (text): Mom I need help!
Okay, so based on the reaction I got from last week’s blog post, it struck like a HUGE F’ing chord with sooooo many parents. Which makes sense. I mean we schlep our kids to and from activities and sports and shell out a crapload of money, and then what happens? They want to quit!! And…
