Jesus hold my earrings, because I JUST CAN’T with the world right now.
I struggle with cynicism. I have a condition that my friend Tara Livesay refers to as an “Overdeveloped Sense of Justice.” This isn’t all bad. It’s great for empathy. It leads me to care for others and take action to make things right. But it can also mean that I can easily devolve into feelings of frustration or despair when things are unjust. The tendency to fire up the outrage machine is not always ideal. But this month, I’ve just about had it. And no amount of meditation or “positive . . .
Easy gluten-free/paleo chicken nuggets that kids will love
I have two seriously picky eaters in my house. They are on the classic “beige diet” . . . they would prefer their food consist of some variation of flour and cheese. Pizza and pasta with no sauce are their staples. They’ve never met a green herb that didn’t provoke tears. As such, I’ve worked hard at creating a chicken nugget recipe that I can make in bulk and keep on hand to provide them with some healthy protein. I also wanted something that was gluten-free (since my son is gluten-free), and . . .

I MIGHT DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILD | scarymommy.com Preach! A veteran mom explains the importance of discipline for her child and for yours..."That’s right: If your kid shoves my kid, I’m going to speak up. If we are at a PTA event and your kid is rude to me, I will call them on their behavior. If your child is being a monster on the swings and my kid has been waiting for 10 minutes for their turn, you better believe this mama is going to say something.

If your family is touched by adoption, you need to watch this new series “The Adopted Life”
You may have heard of Angela Tucker and her filmmaker husband Brian from the acclaimed documentary Closure, in which Brian followed Angela’s search for her birthfamily.

They have a new series of short episodes about adoption, in which Angela sits down with adoptees of varying races and ages to alk about what it’s like being adopted. These episodes are the perfect length to watch with your kids and spark a conversation. I love that . . .

#TBT: I’ve got your lifestyle blog right here
On Thursdays I post something from the archives. This is from May 2014. About a decade ago, I loved to scour through home design magazines for inspiration. I also bought the occasional fashion magazine. It was a guilty pleasure but also a source for ideas. I still look for inspiration, but I've replaced most of the magazines with online destinations. This seems to be a trend for most people, as most of us are just as likely to peruse Pinterest or design websites or foodie instagram . . .
Up for Debate: Paul and I disagree on the transgender bathroom issue
He's conservative. I'm liberal. And we are trying to have a civil discussion about the election. It's 5/18/16 and my friend Paul Martin and I are talking about this week's happenings. Is the transgender bathroom bill a government overreach? Paul and I find we disagree on this one. Will Trump tap Palin as his running mate? Can Hilary win the conservative vote? Here are our thoughts: . . .
