You Don't Need Permission
I was raised in a conservative, New England family with a lot of structure and rules about right and wrong. Seriously, I was homeschooled so I wouldn't be "tainted by the worldliness of non-believers". And you'd better believe there was a chain of command for everything from how the dishwasher got loaded to what kind of books I was allowed to read for fun after my schoolwork was done.

"There Could Be Some Merit in Not Discussing That"
I have long been a believer that more communication is always better.

Bite-Sized Adventure
When I first became pregnant with Cali, I remember a lot of people told me what I would and wouldn't be able to do as a Mom. My acting teacher told me there was no way I could have a baby now, that I was only in the beginning of my career and this would ruin my chances of catching a break.

#SMILFSAUCE
I'm back! Thanks for dropping by! It has been a long time since I felt I had the time or energy to write or even knew what I wanted to say. But let me tell you, I have been LIVING. And I've realized that no one really knows what they are saying (especially not the most powerful and influential of us *ahem* rhymes with crump *ahem*). But I do have my own unique perspective on this crazy world we live in and I want to share it with you! If you are into #momlife, especiall
