Seeing
Author: Mama Crossroads
I'm a mother, and a FIGHTER.
We all have our battles and I've had my fair share. But if I can make it through this madness (divorce, abuse, single parenting, co-parenting, molestation, infertility, autoimmune disease, major surgeries, chronic pain ... you name it, I've been there), then you can too. You are stronger than you think!
Slowly but surely, we can convert these experiences into FUEL for better things ahead. We can teach our kids. We can inspire those around us for good. And we can change the world.
Nighty-night!
Bahahahahaaa! Does this look familiar to anyone besides me?
Big fat boobs
I have been debating for weeks–months even–about this post. Perhaps you will think me crude or inappropriate for approaching the subject of female anatomy in this manner. But in a culture where breasts are openly displayed, discussed, and ogled, I feel the need to add my unique perspective to the public dialogue. I realize this subject might… Read More Big fat boobs
Making the grade
Hey, mamas. Have you ever had someone walk into your house and ask the big question: “What have you been doing all day?” Ugh.

The other day, while helping me with the dishes, my 3-year-old announced: “Hey mom! Look, my finger is taking a shower!” It’s the little things. In the midst of all the rush, the “efficiency” of multitasking (which actually means we never really focus on one thing at a time), the bustle, the noise, the beeps… Read More Dishes, Digital, and Withdrawal
The checklist
Every time I see a “back-to-school” ad, I want to throw something at the TV. Is it time already? My little mommy heart races in anticipation of Friday. This Friday. The day my boys come home. We will spend the last two weeks of summer together before things rev up again. As I look back… Read More The checklist
True blue
I’m in the car driving the the airport. Actually, my husband is driving. I sit beside him staring hard into the distance, propelling my psyche out of the truck with my laser vision. I’m on autopilot, chatting animatedly with my blondies in the backseat, but never turning around. I’m afraid if I make eye contact,… Read More True blue
Manufactured
What is real? Do we even know anymore? In a world where … most of the music we listen to starts with a human voice but is mixed in a studio and edited to perfection, much of the food we eat is genetically modified and then processed, the image of children “playing” usually involves some… Read More Manufactured
