Think Better, Live Better.

  Was this post foreshadowing? I'll never tell. Am I unbelievably nervoucited (as the child STILL says)? I'll give that a hell yes! Am I being deliberately vague in effort to generate excitement?

No school. No work. Im jumping.

by

Today is a day with ZERO obligations and to celebrate I'm (kangoo) jumping for joy. OK so there really *is* work, but I'm totally getting that finished EARLY MORNING and late night so I can surprise the Child with a day spent LEAPING and with my undivided, not work-distracted ATTENTION. And yes. Mothering as I do, we will also spend time discussing *why* there's no school today and if it's ... Continue Reading

Can you be a healthy perfectionist?

In our latest #wycwyc podcast Roni and I talk about perfectionism. Ever not a fan of the word, I found an article in New York Magazine which addresses the fact healthy perfectionism may not be an oxymoron! The article proposes there exists two types of perfectionists: Those who are internally motivated (AKA happy) Those who are motivated externally by fear of failure (AKA ... Continue Reading

Im not a fan of the family dinner.

The Puffer Fish is ready...and it's 6am. If you know me in the slightest or have hung out on social media with me even briefly it will come as no surprise when I share: I'm not at all interested nor do I place undo effort into the family dinner. I know *you're* not surprised. Venus was a little surprised. And so she invited me over to explain... Join ... Continue Reading

Charming the Therapy Doodle.

by

 I'm training to be a what?! A long time ago in a land far away, a Goldendoodle name Charming entered our lives. He was a recovery-canine of sorts for the Child (after a rescue effort gone awry) and the two quickly became inseparable. yep , we did the stroller to avoid Parvo. They played together.  She hauled him all over California. He became her ever-present sidekick. He was unflaggingly ... Continue Reading
