We’ve had a bit of rain at our house lately. Not literal rain, but the bad-luck kind. Man cub is having some school struggles. Tenth grade is proving to be tougher that we’d hoped. He’s trying hard, but still sliding down into the pit of “bad grades.” Then...

I miss Disneyland. There, I said it. I miss our week-long all-out vacations (that, we’ve had like three times… but still, a girl can dream.) It’s been about four years since we were there and it’s my favorite place to go in the world. I feel like such a brat for even...

Can A Relationship Survive This Much Stress?
How much stress can a new relationship survive? I am fond of quoting the cliché that most of us would rather keep our own problems vs. trade with...

Seriously!!! I cannot wait for this school year to be over. While I’m busting my hump (and maintaining my 4.0GPA) my son is flailing. I honestly forgot how horrible 9th grade is. The hormones, social pressure, physical growng pains, academic pressures, it’s a lot to ask of a 14-15year...

Teachers have my up most respect. I know many excellent teachers, and my son has had more good teachers than not. Nothing however can get me riled up faster than a bad teacher. There are many kinds of bad teachers… the “Sergeant” (one who just barks orders at the kids), the...

About six months ago, I started to notice something.
The world has a lot of background noise.
A lot. The sounds of traffic, people talking on the mobile phones, music booming out of the car next to you at a stoplight, barking dogs, crying babies--the list just goes on and on.
Keep in...

If I had to pick just one gift for myself, I think it would be to have a crystal ball. I’m not kidding! How many of us have stressed out about the future for our families (especially now.) I met with an expectant friend of mine on Sunday. Her husband just passed the bar exam and is an...

Dear Patty,
I don't seem to orgasm with intercourse. Is there a way to change that?

Dear Anonymous,
I want to let you know that you are not alone; there are many women out there who struggle to reach orgasm. In fact, a recent...

Something people never talk about when it comes to being a mother is fear. I was never REALLY afraid before I became pregnant, then fear and I became good friends. “What if something goes wrong? Is this normal? How can I possibly survive childbirth!” These are all fears I had when...

I’ve been learning a lot this year about the importance of breathing. When you breathe correctly you not only boost your immune system, lower stress and anxiety, but you can actually re-wire your brain to not over-react to stressors. Go figure! Who knew something so simple as breathing...

There’s a nip in the air and my bank account is strangely empty. All signs that the holidays are already upon us. Where did this year go?!
I remember quite well being young and hearing the adults moan about how fast time was going and how it can’t be time for the holidays...

The joys of trying to keep balance in your life. Ahhh yes, now there’s a topic we can all relate to. I knew when I signed up for three classes this semester AND started a new job teaching at a preschool that I was biting off a whole lot. Of course, I proved myself right.
Luckily, I...

About this time every year (when I take Fall classes) I start to feel like a stunt double. Not just any stunt double, the one from Indiana Jones who was chased by the giant boulder. In short, I have too much going on and my to-do list is the giant boulder. Each week I successfully dodge it...

Whenever I think to myself, “WOW! This is really a transitional period in life right now”, something will come up to show me that it was really nothing. That was just life… THIS is a transition.
This Tuesday will be my husband’s last day at his current job. He...

No, not the one with the hammer and nails. The one you carry in your heart and mind to help you through your day?
I participated in a wonderful workshop this past Sunday that talked about the spirit, body connection. How if one isn’t in balance, the other isn’t either. The...
