5 Reasons I’d Rather Be With My Husband Than My BFF’s
“As I scroll through my social media feed, it never fails that I will see one or more of my girl friends enjoying a fun weekend with friends. Sometimes, I’m a bit jealous. Who wouldn’t love a few days without kids and husbands?! All the laughing and adventures that only girls can have together sure does sound like something I’d enjoy.”
Why Having One Child May Be Perfect for Me
“All of these are terms/phrases used to describe only children. Why would anyone choose to have only one child, right? As someone who grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family with five siblings, it might seem strange that here I am, advocating for one child.”
The Battle Goes On {Ten Years After My Breast Cancer Diagnosis}
“My actual journey with breast cancer began as a daughter. My mom was diagnosed in 2003 at the age of 65, and my world flipped upside down. She opted for a lumpectomy and began her five year daily ritual of Tamoxifen. She had 5 kids along with their spouses, and 16 grandkids, and we had a lot of memories left to make. We were on the road to life without cancer and it felt great!”
Five Ways to Help Kids Who Worry
“When expecting my daughter, I wondered if she’d inherit my green eyes and creativity. I didn’t think much, however, about the traits I hoped she and I would not share.

“Experts agree that kids are tough on marriages. I mean DUH. Kids are tough on anything—walls, furniture, hardwood floors, the knees of nice pants. It makes sense that marriage would also be trampled by what my friend calls these little “ids in cool sneakers.” My husband and I keep track of who does what when, and for us, keeping score has been the key to a 50/50 partnership and a happy marriage.”
