Can Average Be Awesome?
My son tested in the top 5 percent of his kindergarten class. I knew we had a child genius on our hands. I mean, how many children transcribe the Star Wars dictionary, letter for letter, meticulously writing words he couldn't even read-- like "droid" and Jabba the...
Help! I Can’t Stop Comparing Myself to Another Woman!
Here's a question about an experience many of us have had, but few of us will admit to. This was a real reader question, used by permission here. This is what I said to encourage a reader who struggles with comparing herself to another woman. Dear Heather: A new woman...
Looking Hot Versus Modesty: A Letter to a Young Woman
My Dear Girl: Where did the time go? I just saw your picture on Facebook and could hardly believe how grown up you look. You are not that precocious five-year-old girl to whom I used to sing the Dora the Explorer song. You are technically an adult now. Wow! But, as I...

The Day I Stopped Hiding (And Really Started Living)
My most shining moments NEVER happen in the grocery store. Calculate my spending. Make healthy choices. Keep track of coupons. Now throw in a 2-year-old who loves to launch everything I place in the cart right back out. Enter sweaty palms and tension headache. So on...
Clinging to the Remote: Do You Have Control Issues?
(If you ever struggle with control issues, I hope you enjoy this post from when I first started blogging!) A few nights ago my nine month old decided to have an opinion. He's been the happiest, easiest, most laid back little fellow. But, this week, he decided to...

"I want to get them done." Annie confessed. "I mean, I really want to get them done. I'm obsessed with the idea." "Ok." I replied simply. "Do you know why?" "Well, I don't look the same as I did before nursing. There's nothing there anymore. I know I'd feel better...
