I have the best family. No, really. For as long as I can remember, the women of our family have held up this family. They are the true matriarchs and lead a legacy that is worth writing about. They have cried with us, laughed with us, supported us, and sacrificed the world for us and we are so lucky to… View Post
Dani Mathers’ Body Shaming Snapchat + A Lesson in Consent
This past week, a story developed surrounding Playboy Model Dani Mathers and her “ignorance” when it comes to using Snapchat. For someone who makes their living off of nudity, this story is nothing short of ironic and frankly, has much greater ramifications than body-shaming alone. As I read different stories and social media reactions, many of the opinions surrounded her body-shaming… View Post

Minimum Wage Manners
One of my first jobs was as a hostess and waiter at a local restaurant. I waited on tables with people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and attitudes. I would try my darndest to turn those frowns upside down, but occasionally would encounter a curmudgeon that was so stubborn that their pessimism would prove to be a damper on my… View Post

Pokemon Who?
This past weekend, my boss was interrupted by a phone call from her son that he had blown through an exorbitant amount of data in a short time playing a new game called #PokemonGo and we all had a good laugh at his excitement and a few people shared how they knew others that were just as excited for the hunt….

Must-Stop Eats around Chicago
One of my favorite things to do when I head to Chicago is to treat myself like I tourist – I love trying new places – and a work weekend with out-of-towners this evening gave me the prime opportunity to do so.

If you had told me back then that I would be doing what I do now, I… View Post

Parenting in Public
When we first ventured into starting a family, we experienced the difficulty of miscarriage and for a time, I was convinced that this was as difficult as this whole parenting thing would be. It seemed only fair that after trying so hard to have a family that the years that followed would be rainbows and sunshine, but we all know that’s… View Post
Fake It ’til You Make It
I could sit here and preach body confidence, right? I could write down the recipe for all the things you can do to make sure that you at least give the appearance that you are full of confidence in yourself and love yourself, just as you are, in this moment, right now.
