March 15, 2020 By Katy 4 Comments

How do you survive the coronavirus pandemic with teens? I’m not talking about the virus itself (check out the CDC for real facts), rather being housebound with teens for three weeks.   Yup, my kids, ages 16 and 13, have no school or activities here in Michigan until at least April 6. They don’t have homework [Read More]

Teens Are Like Cats: Let Me Count The Ways

March 1, 2020 By Katy 11 Comments

It was 11 am on a beautiful Saturday morning. Humming a little ditty about Jack and Diane, I opened the blinds in my teenage son’s room. As the sunlight streamed in, I changed both my volume and my tune, belting out Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi in hopes of waking my sleeping son. [Read More]

The One about #GirlDad

February 2, 2020 By Katy 6 Comments

The author and her father, a former professional athlete, on the sidelines before a NFL game.

Like everyone else, I was shocked to hear the news of Kobe Bryant’s death last week along with his daughter, her teammates and their parents, her coach, and the pilot.

Why This Mom of Teens Can’t Shop Alone

January 19, 2020 By Katy 3 Comments

Flush with cash from my recent birthday, I strode through the mall.  I had no strollers to push or play spaces to visit like a decade ago when my kids were little. Nor was I dragged into stores selling overpriced joggers or anything with emojis and sequins like last week while shopping with my teen [Read More]

Ok Gen X: Thinking about the 70s and 80s

January 5, 2020 By Katy 4 Comments

Last fall my teenage son started using the phrase “Ok Boomer” just about every day. “Hey, don’t forget to take out the trash,” I’d say. “Ok Boomer,” he replied. “Time to go to church!

December 17, 2019 By Katy 6 Comments

“Do you think he’ll like it? I’m really worried he won’t’ like it,” my twelve-year-old daughter asked me from the doorway. I jumped from where I was sitting in front of our family computer. I closed down a window where I had been tracking a gift for her. It was shipped late, and wouldn’t make [Read More]

7 Reasons Why I’m Giving Thanks for My Teenagers This Thanksgiving

November 17, 2019 By Katy 6 Comments

Thanksgiving is a holiday that gets better as the kids get older. Sure, those turkey drawings traced around pudgy preschoolers’ hands were sweet. So was hearing my elementary schooler talk about the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Rock. And watching the little ones dine at the kids’ table at Grandma’s house was adorable, too. But Thanksgiving [Read More]
