Y'all...normally when I talk about JOE I am referring to the acronym for Joy Over Everything. But today I am talking about Joe Jackson...THEE Joe Jackson...Eternal King of POP, Michael Jackson daddy...Joe Jackson! Sooo, today my baby girl participated in her first ever talent show. Cue the tears because I have been waiting on this moment for a really long time. We have been working on this for a few weeks. Not as diligently as I would like, but I let her drive this thang how

A mini brain dump if you will...

Your girl messed around and got sick…. Made it through winter weather only to get a nasty stomach bug and dizziness today that sat me all the way down. In my older age I have developed an extensive list of allergies. I literally can’t eat much of anything without it creating turmoil in my body.

Trigger Warning: This post is about grief and death! It's so crazy to think that today makes 33 years since my dad died. There really has only been a handful of days that have gone by where I didn't think of him or wonder what he might think of the life that I have lived and am living.

You have raided the grocery stores, stacked firewood to make sure you can keep yourself warm, and prepared your mental for a frigid indoor weekend. These are the kinds of storms that you get fair warning about and usually you are able to prep a little before it hits. Unfortunatel

This is not a sarcastic post. At least that is not the intent. Today's cup of joy was brought to me by a tear free cleaning of my little kid's room! A little joy goes a long way! There really is joy in parenting neurodivergent children, especially as a neurodivergent Mom. I see them as they actually are. I mean...I really see them and I accept them in all of their nuances. I attempt to show up in full support to ensure they know that their neurodivergence is not something th

I went a lot of places. If you follow me on IG or FB, you know I went to Greece, Turkey, London, and Paris. But for most of 2024, I went...
