You know how each generation always says about the next, “In my day….”
Yeah, that.
Each generation has its own thing, I get it. I am a Generation X kid. I was a child in the 80′s and a teen in the 90′s – in case you missed that post where I talked about turning 34 last month, yeah, I’m old. Whereas the generation before me (my parents) had free love, Woodstock and LSD, my generation had Grunge, AIDS, the invention of the cell phone, and we watched in shock and disbelief as the Challenger exploded on national television. We watched a President make a speech about cheating on his wife, we cried as we watched the Twin Towers fall

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching an advanced online screening of the independent film Mighty Fine.
I was a little nervous about watching it, because frankly, the subject matter hit close to home for my daughter and I. Her father was, I believe, bipolar. From the time I knew him as a child until his suicide in 2008, I witnessed many instances of what I could relate to symptoms of bipolar disorder, namely, the highs and lows.
In retrospect, the manic episodes are what most attracted me to him: the outrageous sense of humor, the fun we had together, the incredible devotion. The lows are ultimately what drove us apart: the outbursts, the threats, the violence, the abuse.
While my

I think we all know that being a mom isn’t easy. It has its ups, it has its downs, and it has its OMG I need Excedrin Migraine and a nap days…
I had my daughter when I was 19, so it was especially difficult for me to find my rhythm as a mom…and some 14 years later, it still hasn’t gotten any easier.
I worry about my daughter’s future. I hope she is on the path to a happy life. I fret that I might not be giving her everything she needs to become a well-rounded person. I do things right. And sometimes, I make mistakes. I walk a fine line between encouraging her independence and not being

It’s almost that time of year again…
SUMMER!
As you may have noticed, I like to travel quite a bit during the summer. As I attempted to plan a party with a friend last night, I realized that my time in Miami will be very limited in June…as in I will only be home one weekend in the entire month! As I went over my schedule with my pal, she asked me how I can afford to travel so much, considering that I left my office job two years ago.
I love when people ask me this question!
Now, of course I have to be very selective about when and where I travel, because I can’t afford to go just anywhere.

I couldn’t help but to be inspired while I dug my toes into the sand on Pensacola Beach last weekend.

I have had a crappy day.
I’ve told you before about the adorable foster kittens I have been taking care of for the past two weeks…
When I got them two weeks ago, they were infested with fleas and the baby (pictured in the front of the photo) was covered in scabs. I bathed them and removed their fleas, but the baby’s skin didn’t seem to be healing properly. She had bald patches all over, and itched quite a bit – even though there were no fleas. Last week, after I returned from Pensacola, I noticed a splotch on my neck, and by this weekend, it still hadn’t gone away, so I got nervous.
