I Hate My Tassimo

When I first started using Twitter about 18 months ago, there was a lot of buzz about the Tassimo Coffee Machine. All of the cool bloggers were talking about them and many were giving them away. The more they talked about their Tassimo machines, the more I needed one. I wanted to be one of [...]

Mommy, why are you sad?

My tears are flowing without censoring. I just read about the horror in Oslo, Norway. The death toll kept rising. I can’t fathom nor comprehend the tragedies. I was compelled to read about it online and should not have. I hold my laptop and know I should close it. My girls are near. I can’t [...]

The Night Truth

Cradling my newborn baby, smelling her sweet clean scent, I am fuming on the inside. In the next room my husband snores like a freight train while I am stuck here trying to calm her. The room is dark except for the night light and the clock radio revealing that it is now 2am. I [...]
