I have some seriously spoiled pets. Unlike children, they can’t grow up to be entitled assholes because I didn’t give them enough boundaries. The pets get to snuggle in our bed and sit on the couch; they have too many toys, and too much attention. But I have this…thing. I feel like the animals get […]

Last weekend was my 38th birthday. Holy shit. I’m older than most TV moms. My crypt-keeping days are right around the corner, but mostly, my age doesn’t bother me.

We’ve already talked about this here, and here but! There is actually a little bit of good news on the family vlogging front. Somewhere, someone is doing something! Incredible! I’d lost hope that it was possible for bureaucracies to actually give a shit about helping people, so I am going to revel in this small
