What would you do if your child with special needs was told that their coverage would end if you didn’t immediately prove that they were a citizen of the United States? Let’s paint a more accurate picture… If you received a letter from the government saying that you (who was born and raised in the US) and your husband (who was also born and raised in the US) had to prove that you...

I have no idea how to organize my day, because I SUCK at planning. I try, I really do, but it never works out quite like it does in my head. My husband is freakishly regimented by nature and plans things down to THE MINUTE, but that’s just not me.

I was so embarrassed — it had been a ... Read More »

When I am passionate about something, you know it. Most of the time my friends and family will say, Calm down! as I’m talking because I get so worked up. I guess that’s the Type-A coming out in me. Anyway, I feel pretty passionately about what I’m about to say. I was a teacher for 6+ years before becoming a stay-at-home mom and I have some thoughts on this issue. And, if you star... Read More »
I had the privilege of being invited by T.v. Williams to be on his Famous Podcast a few weeks ago and it was a blast! It was my first podcast, so it was a new and very interesting experience for me and somehow T.v. lead me to talk about all kinds of things including my personal and professional life. I will be sharing bits and pieces of this podcast over the next few weeks and today I am sharing P... Read More »
