Leaving a Legacy
Once upon a time I worked in the wonderful world of television and not just television but entertainment television. I say, “Once Upon A time” because it really was a fairytale. It was a job I loved with people I loved and allowed me to travel the country listening to...
Dead Last
Somewhere along the race we call motherhood I’ve fallen into last place. I give, give, give all I have to my family and as amazing as it is to watch them thrive, I fall behind and constantly feel like I’m losing the race. It’s not like I intended it to...
In An Instant
I opened my eyes this morning. For that I am lucky. Some people will not do so. I need to remember that. I rolled out of bed, tired from a long night of a barking dog, children filled with dreams and a husband who’s not feeling well. For that I...
Gotcha…and not turning back
The sun is shining where I live today and it honestly makes me feel like a new person. I feel alive and fresh and inspired and happy. Definitely happy as it’s been a lot of dull, grey days and those just wear a person down. A little sunshine just seems...
When In Doubt, Look Up!

Christmas Magic
I remember being a little girl and jumping out of bed to head downstairs to see first-hand the magic that Santa had brought. Well actually, I didn’t really jump out of bed as I was terrified of the bearded, big guy in Red, but I would call out to my...
It Takes A Village
There is no worse feeling than your child calling out to you in the middle of the night. As you throw your covers off and head towards their room in a panic you know what’s coming… “Mommy, I don’t feel good…”. You pull them in for a hug only to...
New Heights
Today I’m gonna share a story of a small-town girl with a big dream. That girl is my cousin Mackenzie and her dream was to become a helicopter pilot. Now she’s not a cousin by blood, but it’s been a pleasure to watch her grow up and soar… quite literally!...
