Strangely, I feel like one of the most comforting things about becoming a parent is when I started to understand that it’s normal to be…well…uncomfortable. There’s a sense of bizarre security that comes with the realization that no one – no one! – has all the answers, and we’re all sort of flying by the seats of our yoga pants. I think it’s only when we em... Read More »
I owe my friend Tia… big time! She found a GEM today and I’m so excited to share it with all of you! I’m constantly downloading entire photo albums from groups on Facebook to share in other groups. Mostly this is done when I see an awesome idea on one of our Thirty-One Director or Consultant groups and I want to share the ideas with my team. It can take for-ev-er (did anyone else just have a “Sand... Read More »
When most people hear “PTSD,” they envision war veterans, assault victims, and survivors from a catastrophic accident. Those are the people who make the news, the people that are used online as click-bait. They are attractions in a world of people who experience trauma by proxy. I will not be one of those people, but I will tell what I can comfortably share of my story. PTSD, like any other mental... Read More »

The thorough overview of each principle is intended to build a strong foundation for their understanding of our government and its complexities. Two of the six principles are Checks and Balances and Separation of... Read More »
I’m Stephanie, and I’m maybe-slightly-kind-of addicted to blogging. I don’t need, like, group meetings and an intervention or anything. I just really, really like it. I can quit anytime. I swear! (No, you don’t need to speak with my husband. Let’s just keep this between us. *wink wink*) I started several years ago, have been through three domain names as I finally nar... Read More »
I have been in the medical profession for over 20 years. I worked as a nurse’s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I have learned over the years that you can not change people. You can suggest and tell them what you would do in a situation, but they will do what they want. People have to remember that doctors and ... Read More »
It’s hard to believe that 4 years ago I knew pretty much nothing about Down Syndrome and the thought of having a child with Down Syndrome never even crossed my mind. That is until our 12 week sonogram with our 4th child. At this appointment it was determined that we had a 1 in 10 chance of our little girl having Down Syndrome (DS). Saying I was scared is a complete understatement! I c... Read More »
