Figuring shit out.
How are all of you doing out there? Stressed? Your best? Your worst? Really into crafting right now? Protesting? Reading. Eating your feelings? Avoiding social media? Glued to social media? I'm in a weird place, trying my best to navigate this 2020 life with a kiddo. I'd like to say that I'm nailing it but…
I thought it was fitting to kick off movie club with a documentary about a brilliant woman who has accomplished amazing things in her life. Michelle Obama, regardless of your political views, is a powerhouse of a human being and I'm excited to find out more about her life. Starring Michelle Obama. Directed by the…
This is not a club specific to moms and I can't guarantee that many of the movies we'll watch will be kid friendly. I'm calling it "Mamma M's" because it was my nickname for about seven minutes in my twenties during my short-lived career as a sort of "madame" one summer. If you read my…
Hello FAM! Yesterday was Father's Day and I just wanted to share a snippet of my day with you all. If you follow me on Instagram, you're already in the loop and caught up. I hope you're doing well, kicking ass and taking names, or at least hanging in there and doing your best. If…
"While I don't see anything that's making me too worried right now, with your history things could get bad. That's a real concern right now." Said my therapist via Zoom yesterday. She said it calmly, because she's supposed to be calm and supportive but I have learned to add two Octaves of panic to her…
If you don't have kids this post might weird you out a little bit because, well, you might not be familiar with the peculiar intimacy of parenthood. But, you don't need kids to laugh at us idiots who have them and are perpetually creeped out by how weird are our own offspring. I used to…
It's hot out today. My toddler is naked and filling his watermelon shaped pool with ice cold hose water. I love him. I love the way his dirty blonde hair curls around his hat and the way he walks with purpose when he is going for the "aqua" (water in Italian). I love how he…
Hey everyone! This week we're back with another episode of You're Gonna Be Great! My mini-podcast series for the COVID-19 era. My goal was 6-7 episodes and I'm almost there. On one hand, I'm sad to see it coming to an end, but on the other hand, I'm really proud of myself for doing something…
It's a shitshow out there but I am so Goddamn inspired by all of the random acts of kindness and positivity in the world right now. What better way to cope with such a fucking insane moment in time than to OD on and distribute well-wishes and love? My friend Ivetta is sewing masks to…
We've been self-isolating for nearly four weeks. Four weeks without seeing friends or family, without going to a restaurant to sit and stare at other patrons, four weeks without gathering on a front porch with our neighbors to have a glass of wine and catch up on life. It's been really hard. Partly because it…
