If you're a mom, then you've probably heard of the movie, "I Don't Know How She Does It." The book turned movie (starring my personal fave Sarah Jessica Parker), was on my must-see list since th

Hi, my name is Deanna and I’m a reality TV addict.

They say the first step is awareness, right?

I realized my addiction the other night, as I flipped through reality TV shows faster than... well, Bruce Jenner in the 1976 Olympics. (Now how apropos is that?!)

Dear Family,

I might have been kidnapped.

You know how every once in awhile, you just have one of those days?

Ok fellow mommies - I’m in back-to-school hell!

Summer vacation’s over. The kids are back in school and need you to drive ‘em around to their various and sundry activities which wind up sucking up a ton of your family’s free weekend time. So what about you? Don’t you get to start off fresh and with a chance to get excited about something new, even if you’re not the one who’s getting a new lunchbox, magic markers which smell like fruit (and haven’t yet run dry) and back-to-school clothes?

As moms and mompreneurs, we are faced with constant decision making. I've questioned myself many times on how to make the best decisions especially when I have to decide quickly.

These days we need to act at the speed of technology. People want answers fast, and I must admit that I do work at a fast pace, but it's been responsible for some haphazard decisions.

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."
- William W. Purkey

Today was a beautiful day here in Sedona and great to take some time to get out of my head. As I walked along humming a new little tune, I let go of the flurry of thoughts that had been running through my mind about different projects I’ve had in the works. (Yes, even I can sometimes over-think things! We’re all human, right?) It felt amazing to be in the moment and feel creatively inspired. As I was getting ready for bed, I thought about the impact that songwriting and music has had on my life.
