You never know when you’re going to say your last words to someone. Six Sundays ago, I got the scariest call of my life from my father, and a couple hours later my mother was gone. Swiped from this earth and my life with no warning and no reason. Dude 3 told me what his last words were to her when we were in the
Dude 3 has always loved baking. Cookies, cupcakes, pies, it has been a thing that he has enjoyed since he was old enough to stand in a chair it my kitchen counter and lick the spoon. As he got older, he would spend the holidays at my parents’ house helping Mimi in the kitchen—they’d bake monkey bread for dinner, pies for dessert, and cinnamon rolls
As parents to a fresh driver, finding the perfect car for him became one of my goals of 2018. I was determined. I was committed. And, by the end of the year we’d tested out tons of vehicles. Tons. And, while price was one of the driving factors behind what we ultimately selected, safety, size, and coolness factor also played a role. That’s not to
I don’t know who took the fun out of fundraising, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s not there and probably never has been.

Confession: I’ve only listened to one single podcast in all of my entire life. It was Serial. The one about Adnan. And I started it because it happened near where I live and I’d heard about how awesome it was. I loved it and I would sit in my car while my kids played soccer and football and whatever just to finish an episode. I’ve
*This post is sponsored by Clorox. All opinions are my own. The amazing ideas, however, have mostly been contributed by the moms in the DudeMom Facebook community. They seriously rock.* Cooking at home and creating weeknight meals for my family is one of my biggest challenges as a mother. The endless cycle of busy work schedules, long commutes, evening activities, weekend commitments, part-time jobs, and
I have been a fan of the RomCom since before I can remember. It’s a love I share with my mother and have actively begun to transfer onto my youngest son. He often complains that all of these movies “end the same,” but I know he secretly enjoys them or at least tolerates them enough to climb onto the couch with me and hunt for
I was compensated by Med-IQ through an educational grant from Novo Nordisk to write about the realities of obesity as a chronic disease. All opinions are my own. My name is Amanda and I have obesity. If you look at this photo of me today, you might not believe me… But, this picture on the left was me a year ago… This was a point
