How to Make Big Decisions
https://unsplash.com/@ashleybatz Something that’s always been hard for me, is making big, life-changing decisions. It took me 5 years of public school before I decided to homeschool my son.

ADHD Confessions: Paying for Invisalign plus Braces
I’m not going to judge you. I won’t tell you-you’re a loser. I won’t tell you-you’re a bad person, or you’re unworthy. The only thing I will say is, love yourself the way you are. If you want to try meds to keep on top of things, go for it! If you prefer to buy a planner in which to enter key dates, like the deadline for FSA claims, by all means, do it!!! But, whatever you do, LOVE YOURSELF.

No data, just the bliss that comes with knowing myContinue reading “Crying in line at Five Guys”
Why being the boss on a trial basis is the best thing you’ll ever do for your career.
Have you ever “stepped up” at work? Leaders (even undercover ones) usually do. Have you taken on a project that everyone else balked at? Have you “covered” for the boss when she was out of town (or, in my case, on maternity leave)? If you’ve NEVER considered it due to the time commitment or responsibility,Continue reading “Why being the boss on a trial basis is the best thing you’ll ever do for your career.”
