COVID-19: Winging it, at HOME, Mom Style

March 24, 2020 by thiscoolmom 1 Comment

This post doesn't have ANY structure, which is fitting. Today is Day 11 of our quarantine. Eleven days of the four of us, together, all day and night. Eleven days of eating meals at home. Eleven days of Netflix, Prime, Disney + and Hulu. Eleven days of sweatpants and hoodies. On sunny days, we go for family walks & ride bikes. On rainy days, we chill. We eat and ... Read More

I’m Almost Freaking 40- I Don’t Have Time For This

January 23, 2020 by thiscoolmom 4 Comments

Recently when people give me an attitude or present me with bullshit that I just can't deal with, I have had a recurring response in my head.  "I'm almost freaking 40- I don't have time for this or IDGAF." For the last year, I have dreaded turning 40.  DREADED.  It's happening in June, and yes, I have a countdown app on my phone reminding me how many days I have ... Read More

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
