We’ve all seen the movie Mean Girls, right? Right? We all have? If your answer is no, stop reading. Seriously, stop reading and run to Netflix or the nearest video store…are there even video stores anymore? If you have not seen this movie your pop culture education is severely lacking and I’m not sure we…
I normally avoid using the term “white trash” because I think its kinda mean. I don’t say stuff like “what in the fresh hell” because…well, because the ordinary “what the hell” seems to work okay for me. But today, “What in the fresh hell is going on with these white trash bitches at Walmart” came…
I’m not shy but I’m an introvert. I like other humans but I have a limited tolerance for “peopling”—you know, cocktail parties, wedding receptions, any place where small talk is on the menu. If I have to attend an event where a “Hello, My Name Is” nametag is offered, anxiety will be my plus one….

If you’ve been hanging around my Facebook page for the past month or so you’ve seen a lot of status updates and pictures referencing me being cast in Listen to Your Mother Austin. I hope I’m not humble bragging. Am I? Humble braggers make me wanna throw up in my mouth a little. Okay, a…

Some days, I really rock this parenting thing. Other days, I’m just thankful parents don’t have to pass a test and get a license (because I’m probably not a shoo-in.) Overall, the gold star parenting days outweigh the “I have no flipping clue what I’m doing” days so I’ll share a few little hacks that save…
To My Dear Sons, I love you more than my own life. There’s probably not much I wouldn’t do for you, including giving you that last bite of my ice cream. I mean…if I’m stupid enough to eat something yummy in your presence instead of hiding behind the bathroom door like any sane mom would…
I am a big fan of giving unsolicited advice. Others may not be big fans of it, but that’s okay. I have strong opinions and I’m often compelled to share them, even when people wish I wouldn’t. You’re probably rolling your eyes at me, thinking I’m one of those “thinks she knows all the…
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard “mama knows best,” or “just listen to your mother,” well…that would be a lotta dollar bills.
