As a professional in the world of learning and development, I am often sought as a subject matter expert on personal and professional growth as well as managing relationships...and then I walk through the door and find out how much more learning I need to do at the courtesy of my husband and five-year-old daughter. Join me on my journey towards humility and accountability.
The title says it all. Given the choice to coordinate an employee conference for 1600 attendees-including making flight arrangements, scheduling concurrent sessions, planning entertainment and ordering food for those 1600- or planning a sleepover for Lexi and two of ... Read more...
First, I want to admit that I often make casual references to being OCD, but I recognize that this is a very real disorder that many live with. I don’t mean to take it lightly. I have always wondered, though, whether this disorder has a spectrum and whether I’m on ... Read more...
Is it bad that I want my husband and daughter to think I’m the best thing since sliced bread? I want my husband to say I’m the best wife ever and for my daughter to confirm that I’m the best mother ever! (I didn’t say I wanted to be crowned The World’s Best Wife and ... Read more...

I sometimes forget ... Read more...
I love that Lexi knows how to dial 911. It’s important that our children know what to do in an emergency. We taught her what to do if there is ever a house fire at any time of the day. Get low to the grown and find your way outside, head to t ... Read more...
And the moment I ask whether I’m cool…it’s pretty much a guarantee that I’m not.
I’ve never cared about being the cool soccer mom that has it all together and always remembers to bring the game snacks. I know that I’m ... Read more...
I used to think that the combination of passion and intensity for the right thing could only be a good thing, but I was proven wrong…again. Why? Because what I think is right doesn’t make it right. Sounds like a good title for a Dr. Seuss book. Let ... Read more...
If you have ever said this to your teenage child(ren), I want you to stop reading this right now and go apologize. It doesn’t matter if they’re grown and have children of their own.
If you are embarrassed about having the sex talk with your children, conti ... Read more...
