Featured image for Pre-K Graduation Day - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/CJT-PreK-lookback-300x152.jpg
Okay, I’m totally indulging in a little Mommy-gushing for this blog. I just refuse to believe that my little Skywalker (the new nickname I’m assigning him since the “Little Monkey” moniker I gave him early on in this blog now seems babyish and inappropriate) graduated from Pre-Kindergarten today. I remember kids ‘graduating’ from Pre-K in  […]

Okay, okay. I’ll admit it. I have been really struggling with the food thing lately. I haven’t been avoiding wheat and yeast entirely, and I haven’t been avoiding sugar much at all. When sugar calls, I answer the phone on the first ring, and I don’t even bother to pretend I was about to call  […]

Much to the chagrin of my eldest child, Monday night I went with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and another friend to see Cyndi Lauper and Cher at Phillips Arena. Amazing show. In my most basic moments of vanity and self-aggrandizing, this may be my Number One reason for wanting to be a famous novelist.  Why? Because  […]

“Mommy, you’ve been gone too much. You’ve been gone Every. Single. Night.” Ugh. Rip my heart out and stomp on it, why don’t you? Yes, those were the words over Cheerios this morning of my Pre-K Little Man, who wishes his name were Anakin even though he has never seen the Star Wars movies, and  […]

One of my favorite memories from teenager-hood was the night some friends and I sneaked out of our houses and met at the Waffle House at midnight. We were all sixteen, and driving was our newly granted privilege (or at least for most of us, I was the youngest and constantly hitching rides). We were  […]

Well, here we go: I promised you I’d update you about the sugar detox journey. To be honest, I’m sort of hoping that if I write things out and post them publicly, it will help me re-center myself as well. The osteopath is going to drag it all out of me tomorrow anyway. [If you  […]

Featured image for Marrying My Friend & Peak Experiences - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Ireland-2008-Slides-095-300x200.jpg
Last weekend, I got to add “marrying my best friend” to my life’s list of peak experiences. Okay, well, technically I married my best friend almost eight years ago. That was when I slipped something in Hubs’ drink and hauled him under the chuppah on a Labor Day weekend. (When he said “I do,” he  […]
