I mentioned in my last post how I got here, and why I was so sleep deprived. What I forgot to mention was my sneaking tendency toward a caffein addiction by PitMad day, but that is beside the point. PitMad was upon me. If there was ever a day to justify caffein and chocolate consumption, […]
Toward the end of 2020, my book club read the book You Are a Bada** by Jen Sincero. If you’ve read another one of my posts and seen reference to this, my apologies. I have since been a little obsessed with a lot of the concepts she preaches. I’ll also take this moment to apologize to […]
Today I’m sharing an unedited excerpt from the first draft of my current work in progress. (Yikes!) In case you haven’t been following, this book is a how-to, how-not-to, comedic insight into what it’s like to be a partner to a medical professional in training.

(My husband was the student, I was the substitute teacher/mom, THANK GOODNESS. He must love what he does, that’s all there is […]
“Mommy, why do the Johnsons only have a candle in one window?” I looked down at the bundled up marshmallow hanging onto my hand as we crunched through the snow in front of the Johnson’s hulking colonial house.
