15,706 Days
Birthday’s are just another day in the year. But for me, I’ve always enjoyed the day because it’s a significant reminder of another year passed, and a TON of memories created.
What If?
“What if?” Is one of the phrases I fear the most and I love the most. I don’t want to live my life wondering “what if?”, but I do want to dream “what if”. I can live with “what is”, “what can be”, and “what could be”, but not a past “what if?”
Time
Not enough time. Too much time. Can I just make time stop? My life has been full of trying to manage time, but I can’t no matter how much I want to. Here’s a few stories about life, Kailyn and friendships that pertain to “managing time”. I enjoyed writing this one, I hope you enjoy reading!!!
If Life Were Easy
Ever asked yourself, “Why is life so hard?” Or, “If life were easy, then . . .” I think you’d be in good company if you’ve asked yourself one of those two questions. Unfortunately life is hard. Sometimes it fees like it’s harder on you than on others, and while that’s not necessarily incorrect, a lot of times it just takes a little perspective to feel better. Here’s my thoughts on “If Life Were Easy”.
Empathy: Two Sides
As I get ready for bed, I’m so excited to see my little girl tomorrow, that I can hardly get to sleep (hence why I’m up this late). At the same time, I can’t stop thinking about how sad my ex must be at the same time. I’m not sure why that though is even entering my mind, but I can’t help but feel empathy for how she must be feeling as she tucks Kailyn into bed tonight.
Worst Parent Ever
As a parent, I’m sure you’ve gone to bed feeling like the “Worst Parent Ever”. You’re not alone and I wanted to write about feeling this way.

Broken
Everyone knows that divorce can rip families apart. I wanted to talk about how I dealt with feeling broken and picked up the pieces to reinvent myself. I’ve still got a long way to go, but I’m definitely more whole than I was a few years ago. Here’s my story . . .
10 Things I Tell Kailyn
Throughout my parenting career, Kailyn and I have had several talks about life, love and happiness. Here are 10 Things I Tell Kailyn that will hopefully serve as “thought-starters”. This isn’t a list of “THINGS YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR KIDS”, because I think those lists I’ve found online take on the “one shoe fits all” mindset. Every family is different as is every child and relationship. Here are some things I say to my K that I’d like to share with you.
The “Funk”
Sometimes life feels like it’s going your way & sometimes it feels like it’s not. But there are times when it’s going your way & you still feel in a “funk”. The following blog outlines some of my darkest days and some of my happiest ones too. I’ve come to appreciate both . . . although I’d prefer the happy ones. 🙂
