John Paul DeJoria At Kentucky Derby

There’s no better place to people watch, than the infield of Churchill Downs. John Paul DeJoria quotes continue to inspire me. “The biggest hurdle is…
Read MoreScreen Time Maxed Out
Go ahead and judge me for allowing my preschooler to watch more than the recommended screen time. Trying to rid the head lice on a strong-willed three-year-old isn’t easy. As a result, I allow her to watch shows on my iPad. Let’s face it, sitting still for hours as I wash, rinse, rewash, rinse and…

Read MoreChildren Change Perspective
Children change perspective, whether it’s planned or not. Looking back just eight years ago, I couldn’t imagine myself as a mother.
