Today we are going to find out if in Florida someone can effectively steal your children, have you threatened in the public right of way, stalk and harass you, act as conduit for hidden marital assets and not only get away with it but charge their victim for the pleasure. Stay tuned.

On Death 🪦💀
My kids call me a “death attorney” without even a trace of sarcasm. And it is true we have seen a lot of death lately. As an estate planning attorney it sometimes falls to me to be with my clients during their last days, hours, even at their bedside at their last breath. Some haveContinue reading “On Death 🪦💀”
Every Mom’s Nightmare
My good friend is suffering. I have been on this journey with her, especially since we live next door and have similar age kids in the same school. It has been heartbreaking to see her go from vibrant yoga studio owner to very very sick. Please help if you are inclined, whether by donating orContinue reading “Every Mom’s Nightmare”
Sticks & Stones
I love to listen to The Message version of The Holy Bible app first thing in the morning. I know my Mom would not approve because to her the only true Word of God was the King James, but even though I have read the Bible several times through I still gain so many newContinue reading “Sticks & Stones”
Kids
Sometimes my kids drive me crazy. They interrupt my thoughts. They always need something. They resist my directions as I try to move our family forward in orderly direction. They request food and do not eat it. I buy them clothes and they do not wear them. And sometimes it is annoying when people speakContinue reading “Kids”
On NYE
Admit it. New Years Eve is always sort of a disappointment, right? You spend big money for a ticket to what is billed as The Party or maybe you celebrate a little more low key with friends. You shell out for a babysitter. If you are me you dress up. . . And inevitably itContinue reading “On NYE”
Vaccine Truth
Our family has avoided vaccines for some time. I began to educate myself when my oldest boys were little. Of my five, only my three oldest have had any. We live in Florida where the kids have religious exemptions from vaccination for their attendance in public school. I am grateful to COVID for bringing concernsContinue reading “Vaccine Truth”
Holidays Without Your Kids 😢🎄🤶
When you are a single mom the first holiday without your kids can be devastating. This year my kids were with me the last week of school and we tried to incorporate some fun pre-Christmas activities. For example we decorated pre-baked cookies. When they were really little my Mom was still alive and would bringContinue reading “Holidays Without Your Kids 😢🎄🤶”
Requiring Reformation
Gotcha! 😉 Bet you thought this was going to be a politics or possibly religion article. Instead thought I’d offer a humorous piece (though still interwoven with my thoughts in general as you will find…). Things to be reformed or possibly eradicated: 1. The way you are supposed to open refrigerated canned biscuits and cinnamonContinue reading “Requiring Reformation”
Random Thoughts
Why I am buying real books again. No, it is not so my one year old puppy can nibble on them, though that may have happened! My friend & I visited Costco the other night (yes, it was a big Friday night!) and I purchased 3 classic books in hardcover. I had orders two more.Continue reading “Random Thoughts”
