Heather is a mom of two, wife, and nurse educator doing what she can to save the day! She lives in Orlando where she is routinely spotted driving while singing ABBA--all on a mission to advocate and educate!
We are seriously having a no good, awful, very bad week. However, we know someone else who is having an exhausting, but exhilarating week… Tammy! See, her daughter is getting married! Married! Daughter! Dresses! Flowers! Mother-of-the-Bride! (all while taking care of Parker, no less) So, how ’bout you go over and give her some extra love and…

Here we are…mere days away from Mother’s Day. The day when flowers flow, cards are signed, and meals are eaten out. Facebook pictures have changed to reflect the image of ‘Mom.” Twitter is all a-twitter with comments ranging from “I love my mom” to “All I want for Mother’s Day is jewelry.” There’s part of…

My daughter is home schooled…sorta. See, we utilize an online virtual public school for her education. This has served us perfectly with Jack’s needs and our crazy schedules. The problem I have with public schools is this ridiculous state testing that each student must pass. So, you know, the entire year is geared towards passing…

Once upon a time, before Jack, we were very involved in our church. We were in the choir. J did a little class with some other girls. We had friends to meet for coffee. We had friends to go to lunch with after church. Enter: Jack. We would leave him at the nursery (before the…

So… Last week was pretty much the week from hell for me. Truly. It was the first week of spring term, so I had a crop of new students–with all their issues–who demand my attention constantly, because, you know, that’s what my job is. Or something. Then, Jack was having some major issues. Weird behavioral…

Right now. This second. Today. Go look at yourself in the mirror. Yes, I’m talking to you. Look at the tired eyes. The unbrushed teeth. The skin that could have used a little extra moisturizer about 4 years ago. The unshowered. The unshaven. The borderline crazed… (what?! As if you don’t know what I’m talking…

Ya know, me and Google are really good friends. (Dr. Google and I broke up after I graduated Nursing School. He’s really a bad guy.) Anyway, do you daydream? I do. A lot. Usually, this happens when I am exhausted, or bored, or suffering from “I just got run over by a truck because of…

Being the mom of a Super Hero isn’t easy! There are the people who see you coming, and run to the other side of the street avoid you so as to not get in your way. Others give their unsolicited opinions… The third group ask questions…brutal, hurtful, sometimes ridiculous, questions. My favorite this week: “I…
