Sow Much Chaos, Sow Little Secrecy
The sweet, earthy smell of acorns and pine needles. The sounds of crickets singing me to sleep as my eyes grow heavy from a day full of hiking. The way the sunlight filters through pine trees and spotlights the flecks of dust, making them look like they are dancing. These are the things that made [...]
I will freely admit that I’m in a bad place right now. This past week has been so difficult, both physically and emotionally. Last Friday, I spoke my mind on this blog about something that greatly troubled me. It caused a great deal of backlash. I lost friends and group members because of it. Still, [...]
This has been a tough week for mom bloggers and social media. The events that transpired hurt me deeply. I have been a blogger since the early 2000′s and when I see that our industry is being attacked and judged it makes me angry. When I see PR and/or fellow bloggers making choices that could [...]

Edited to reflect a conversation with the person in question and the facts surrounding the situation, according to him. I don’t normally post negative things on this site.

I told you all the other day about the One Life movie that the kids and I were going to see. And we did. And it was gorgeous. So gorgeous that I took about one million pictures in hopes of capturing some of the amazing close up footage. I failed at doing it [...]
My kids are not easily grossed out. They have all been to the emergency room for stitches, have all seen a sibling barf their guts out in the van and have all changed a poopy diaper (except for Reed.) They don’t bat an eyelash at things that still manage to trigger my own gag reflex. [...]
When the kids were tiny and fewer in number, Daniel and I loved taking them to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. In fact, we had annual memberships. There is something so life changing about seeing the animals in person. Marlie got to feed a giraffe one time while we were visiting the park. I [...]
Valentine’s Day has become utterly meaningless and enforces my belief that society is really screwing the pooch. Why do I think this? I got a few letters from some of my kids’ teachers regarding Valentine’s Day. Here is one of them. I have a few problems with this. We are allowed to celebrate [...]
I’m a fan of soup. There is no better way to warm your bones on a chilly day than enjoying a bowl of homemade soup. The first time I had Poblano Corn Chowder soup, I fell in love with it. I was visiting in The Upper Crust in Downtown Riverside for lunch and my friend, [...]
Valentine’s day. Pfft. I scoff at you, with your overpriced red roses and other nonsensical bull crap. I love my husband every single day and I show him by doing his laundry, making his meals and raising his children (just to name a few.) Why do we celebrate love one day a year when love [...]
