From a grown up child of divorce – practical guides and a place to rant
From the category archives:
After yesterday’s post, I felt like some levity was in order. I have been mulling over this post for a while now. I hope it’s tone and humour appeals to more than just us grown up children of divorce. This can be a funny subject too, you know.
Some of us may not need this little [...]

My friend Frank Fradella produces a weekly podcast called LINGO. It is a collection of hand picked world pop music with the premise behind it being that music in and of itself transcends language and culture. And I think he’s right.

Because suddenly everything will feel a bit lighter. There’s a reason they call it comic relief.
After two emotional posts, some levity is in order and I have just video to bring it. I need a day off myself to recover and I’m sure many of you do too. I found this clip and it made [...]

Sorry. No insightful essay today. As much as I really wanted to produce one, I simply ran out of time. Drat.
I have gone back to work. My lovely hiatus in the name of all things baby has ended and I am transitioning back into ‘working mom’ mode. My kids have been wonderful and are making [...]

I got this idea from Avitable. I loved his top ten movie characters and I lamented in a comment that my blog wasn’t ‘cool’ enough to do the same. His reply was, “Do it!” So I thought long and hard about how I could approach my own top ten while keeping with the theme of [...]
