I have a confession to make. Target, meh. I’m just not that into it.

Life looks a lot different at 40 than it did at 25, and I have a whole new list of things to worry about. It's a very long list, and it makes me anxious on the best day, plain terrified on the worst day, and on a run-of-the-mill day, it just keeps reminding me that I'm clueless about what to think and what to do and how to be grown.

I feel like if I’d started earlier, had my first kid at 28 instead of 34, maybe I’d be a little less tired right now. Maybe I’d be a more fun mom if my knees didn’t sound like small arms fire every time I tried to run with my son. Maybe I’d be a better mom if I was younger. But I don’t think so. My kids? They’re awesome. And I’m the mom they have, so I must be doing something right, old or not.

It seems like everyone is an introvert these days.

Soundgarden was part of something bigger, something that changed everything.

Essential oils have become incredibly popular and can be found everywhere from your local farmer’s market and community festival to social media.

2016 sucked. If we can’t agree on anything else, I think we can all agree on at least that much.
