Every phase of life I am in...there always seems to be that Regina George. That Mean Girl, that girl/woman that thrives off being a bully, cool, being rude...and trying to get her minions to do the same.  I remember thinking, "I cannot wait to be out of high school and beyond this drama".  And then I went to college...and there was that group of girls. And then I went to corporate America and there were those women. And now I am a mom and I still have to interact with mean girls. So it's funny...you think at some point people would grow up but no. And it got me researching...mean gir ..read more

Congratulations!! Everyone's journey to this point has been so different. But now I am sure you are ready to meet your amazing baby. You are uncomfortable and not sleeping well, you probably still have some things to wrap up but it will all be fine.  Now, I’m about to tell you something I wish someone had told me before I had my first child… You will come home from the hospital feeling worse than when you went in. Oh, and also you will have this amazing baby that you couldn’t wait for...but they do not come with an instruction manual and you will feel overwhelmed, a lot.  I remember ..read more

Wow, where did this year go! I'm sure if you look back at last year's "end of the year" post it said the exact same thing. This year was a weird year, in so many ways we had momentum we never experienced before but in other ways it stayed the same.  We are working on getting book number 3 out there in Spring of '20 and look forward to doing so many more book readings.  I encourage each of you to write down this coming year's or decade's goals. Put them somewhere that is visible. Look at them often. Use those goals as motivation and do give up when you fall behind. See where you are, where you ..read more

Every first Tuesday in December is giving Tuesday. This is a phenomenal day to help non-profit organizations with donations. This has become such a great day to help build community and gather people together, one day a year to donate to worthy causes.  I always make it a point to donate on this day...but I have been thinking...one day is great, a donation is amazing but what if we could do more.  So many times we give once, twice and move on...what if we choose a organization and for the next year #Ichoose2champion2020 a cause...help get a non-profits interest out there.  Pick one or two non ..read more

As summer descends upon all parents we are hit with the dread of keeping our children safe and occupied! But this got me thinking...what about all of the women (and men) that came before us. Here we are in an age with swim clubs, gym childcare, TV, strollers, bouncers, playmats, iPads, Kindles and the most amazing toys...yet still here we are answering the question of "I'm bored, what are we going to do?" 50 times a day.  It struck me yesterday, as I was trying to bring my three children outside to play in our back yard. I was lugging toys and jumpers and wrestling a canopy to the right place ..read more
