The word ban
is one of the only words that I truly dislike. It seems like a simple little word. We teach it to our children when they are learning how to read and write. The thing with this word, though, is that it carries a significant and dark undertone. It gets people thinking, “Oh, in my perfect…

She’s guano
So… I know this lady who feared speaking. The broad gave herself permission to sing, then all of a sudden she could talk again. Steer clear of that one… weird stuff man.

Changes in some staple foods
In an effort to spend money wiser, I started to buy only the necessities and staples. However, the term “staples,” grew stricter. A few days ago when the kids were looking for junk food, it occured to them that chocolate and sweets were replaced by fruit, yogurt, and whole grains. I’m having the kids clean…

Since the Internet detox started, this is what I have noticed…
Now, for our Internet detox each of us has a phone with a hotspot. So far, there’s very little difference in the speed or quality of the Wi-Fi from normal household Internet.

Divorce Reflection Part 2
One of the most difficult realizations since the divorce turned out to be the most liberating. I needed to think in terms of only my children and me, and not include a father figure in my “life planning.” This was so painful to REALLY embrace, and I couldn’t figure out why. After several months, it…

Divorce Reflection Part 1
Nobody really tells you how difficult divorce is to go through. Honestly, I expected it to be like a normal break-up… it wasn’t. It is more comparable to cutting yourself into a million pieces and having others decide what was left of yourself. It’s disorienting, confusing, and stressful. It took years to get up enough…
