Virtual Reality App Brings Distracted Driving to Life #ItCanWait
Nothing that is happening on your phone is worth a life. It’s tempting, I get it. There’s a billion things going on in the virtual world and we might miss something. We need to see if so-and-so texted us back or if we’ve missed something on the calendar or if we know where that restaurant […]

What is the Point of Turkey Bacon?
I guess turkey bacon could be for people who are trying to lose – or release, rather – weight (we tend to look for things we have “lost”). But there are foods that are just not worth giving up in this quest to improve my relationship with food, like honest-to-God Tillamook cheese. Real mayo. And […]

What to Read Before Giving Up
This time of year is easier for me than others, for the most part. However, I can still have the Bad Day sprinkled in there for good measure, just to remind me of the fragile nature of my mental health. Yesterday was one of those days. It was the first day with any down time […]

Braven: A Better Boom Box
I grew up in the days of the heavy, clunky cassette-tape-playing plastic and metal boom boxes, like the one you see on Say Anything when Lloyd is making his grand gesture and he holds up that stinkin’ thing for hours, pointing it at Diane’s window and blasting In Your Eyes. We would carry them around […]

Three Free Apps to Support Children’s Social and Emotional Health
Understanding emotions as they are happening is an essential life skill – it only took me until I was about thirty years old until I was able to do it. Thanks, Obama and my sucky traumatic childhood. So it is important to me that my kids are able to identify and deal with their emotions […]

Summer Sanity 2015!
Chaos reigns while kids fight and play and eat everything in the house without throwing anything in the garbage can. It’s summer! Yeah, I love summer…and I hate it, especially the second week of August. To avoid this weird mixture of feelings, I try to plan ahead the best that I can so that the […]

Theology of the Heart
“Today is an historic day!” I announced to Oldest as he flopped down on my bed. He leaned over to watch my Kindle’s Facebook feed as I scrolled through posts about SCOTUS and the federal legalization of gay marriage. “Huh, that’s still a thing? I thought it was already done,” he said with a shrug. […]

What Kind of Cherry is This? Vote!
So I found this amazing cherry in my bag o’ fruit yesterday, and I had to take a picture of it and post it on Facebook: Both Youngest and I immediately called it Butt Cherry, but when I posted it, some of my friends definitely saw bewbs or the word that rhymes with “dalls”. It’s […]
