Chris Rock Just Gave us an Important Lesson, Let's Not Miss It

We need to stop talking about that other guy and start talking about how Chris Rock handled the situation — After last night, it would not surprise me at all if I found out that Chris Rock had been trained in trauma-informed practices. His reaction to getting assaulted was a lesson in de-escalation. If you rewatch the footage of Will Smith marching onto the stage, and smacking Chris Rock, Rock…

If Starbucks Crumbles Everything Crumbles

Starbucks is the canary in our society’s coalmine — I’ve been unable to get Starbucks for the last several days. The inside is closed. Supply and staff shortages. The drive-thru line is simply too long, stretching out into the road in most locations, at all times of the day. None of the Starbucks in my town are taking online…

“It’s Ok If He Doesn’t Know.”

What it means to be a mom — I have a strange tendency to boast about the fact that TV shows and movies rarely make me cry. I don’t know why this is something to be proud of, and the incidence of my eyes getting watery has definitely increased since I became a mom. I went down some…

My cat’s love language is destruction

As I sit down to write this, she is watching me, waiting. She is going to come up to my laptop and swat the lid closed. She’s just waiting for the right moment when I’m not paying attention. Earlier this morning, she waited until I was coming out of the…

This Holiday Season, Don’t Put Your Oxygen Mask on First.

“And I told him, I have to put my oxygen mask on first, and that’s why I’m going on this trip.” “Cheers!” the other girls said as they clinked glasses of prosecco. I was sitting next to a table of women who were clearly on a girl's trip. This one…

The Only Whatever in the Room

I guess it is a feeling I should be used to by now. Being the only fill-in-the-blank in the room. The only woman. The only Latina. The only Native New Mexican. The only introvert. The only mom. It seems like I’ve spent a lot of my life being the only…

Being a mom is NOT the hardest job in the world.

Let's stop calling it that — How many times have you heard it? Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. It’s the hardest job you’ll ever do. There was a quote in the Hulu show Fleishman is in Trouble that really stuck with me, and it took me a few days to figure…

The Greatest Christmas Gift of All

It actually can be bought at a store — It was like a light was shining down from the heavens onto this beautiful creation. The thing I had been searching for. The thing I didn’t know existed but always needed. It was the perfect gift. For myself. It was an advent calendar. Only instead of chocolate or socks, or…

If You Want a Nice Holiday Season, Don’t Say These Two Words.

You should definitely read this — For parents, there is a magical time when kids believe that you know more than them, and they actually do what you say. As any parent knows, that time is all too short. Suddenly, a phrase that you probably uttered hundreds of times on any given day becomes ammunition that…

It’s Ok to not be Ok

Things are bonkers, let’s not pretend otherwise — In the least surprising news ever, a new study revealed that 42% of working moms have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression. The only thing surprising about this is that it was not 100%. I can only assume that the other 68% of working moms not struggling with anxiety or…
