As we wrap up the month of April, nationally recognized as the official month of sexual assault awareness, let’s draw our attention to arguably one of the most exciting and tiring nights of my year: the night of the Take Back the Night rally and march in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  This is the night that […]

When we’re little, every adult in our lives tells us that sharing is a good thing, putting others before ourselves is the right way to live life and being selfish is bad for everyone.

One of the most intimidating things I have ever done was order sushi for the first time. I remember sitting at the table at my favorite Chinese restaurant and internally debating if I really wanted to attempt it or not. What if I didn’t order it correctly? What if I didn’t like it? What if I […]

So, we are finally at a point in my daughter’s life where, at a little over 2 years old, she is very close to being ready to tackle potty training. I kinda cant believe we are at this point. I’ve been missing the days of having a little tiny peanut, dependent on everything. Don’t get […]
