by: Maureen Turner

I have written before about how quickly Eleanor is growing up, all the changes she is about to go through, and the talks we have had. She just turned 12; she is a tween.

The Happiness That Comes With Change

My Perma-Smile

by: Maureen Turner

I have spent the last week with a perma-smile. I just can’t shake it. Not that I really want to, but how smug is that?

Every time I talk about quitting my job, or someone congratulates me, I am grinning ear to ear. My boss must think that I hated my job just by how much I love that I have quit. I will say this though, my boss has been great about it.

Making A Life Change

Here Is My Letter Of Resignation

by: Maureen Turner

Recently, while at work, I received some bad news; a friend of the family had passed away. She left behind 4 children.

I was beside myself with grief. I grieved for her family, for her husband who no longer had a partner, for their young children who would grow up without a mother, and for the parents who outlived their child.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!

Maureen Turner is a social media junkie who has somehow managed to transform some mildly humorous tweets about American Idol into a blog.

What’s her expertise? Keeping the peace, or rather, trying to keep the peace. With one spouse, two ex’s & four children all trying to blend together, it’s not always easy but she somehow makes it work.

Maureen’s here to give you some pointers on how it’s done in her house... and her ex's house... and her husband’s ex's house, and her sister's friend's, and the cousins... oh you get the point! She’ll share the trials and tribulations of being an ex, a step, a women, and a mother – helping to put the F-U in dysfunctional along the way.

In Maureen’s other life, she worked in sports television for almost 15 years and somehow still isn’t a sports fan… unless the kids are playing. She also enjoys writing and has been dreaming of being published since she was a kid. Twitter + Erica Ehm = dream come true!
