It's 2022. Employers can no longer only hire white men without consequence, and we are beginning to make a dent in the racial and gender disparity that exists in the American workplace. Persons living with a disability must be considered for jobs when reasonable accommodations will make it possible for them to complete the required duties of the role…

It's been 2+ years, and I've never said the words out loud for fear of slipping too deeply into the dark waters of limb loss depression. But, I'd simply be lying if I said I didn't miss my right leg…

We bought the house, signed the giant stack of scary paperwork, toasted with margaritas, and a month later, it was time to pick up the keys. We were beyond excited as we put the key in the lock for the very first time, even bringing along a couple of our favorite plants to make it feel like home fast. Then a few days later, we flooded the garage trying to pull out an old laundry sink we THOUGHT was disconnected from the waterline…

There was turkey in November and Honey Ham in December. On the 31st, you drank champagne and toasted to whatever. Now it's 2022, and there are no fun Holidays or time off to look forward to until at least May. Feeling a little blue? Yeah, me too…

Ok, here goes nothing. I know you're reading this Mom, but it's time to cover the topic that makes us all blush. Most of us are walking around with insecurities that aren't always easy to shake off, even after a tall glass of wine. When it comes to feeling attractive and desired, society's standard of what is considered "sexy" isn't exactly realistic…

Every once in a while, I like to pile my plate high with RSVPs, projects with unrealistic deadlines, and the anxiety of making it all look like a piece of pumpkin pie. This month I really went for it…

I am beyond excited to say that my husband and I finally found the perfect house for us. After some back and forth in a crazy real estate market, we were able to close on our very first home! …

When you are going through a break-up, they say you will get over him.
