Ladies, I am telling you right now there is one thing that has helped me get through the ups and downs of parenting while working. Surprisingly, it isn’t Amazon Prime, the Roomba, a day planner, or even wine. It isn’t the perfect breast pump, daycare, giant travel coffee mug, magic concealer, or laptop bag. It is my […]
So I am on my way to work happily curled up in the back row on the bus hazily daydreaming as I gaze out of the window. The sun is shining, my coffee is finally kicking in, and every 10th person that passes my bus is staring at their phone instead of the freeway in […]
It’s official. My house smells like fir trees and peppermint. It brings me such joy to welcome the Christmas season. There is something about putting up a tree and watching the neighborhood spring to life with houses trimmed in white lights. Of course, I also have a little one that I share the season with, […]

Tomorrow I will kiss my toddler goodbye, leave him with his sweet aunt, and get in a car with my other best friend to drive to the funeral home where my husbands’ memorial was held. I will hold her hand as I walk inside and hug my amazingly brave neighbor, and I will sit among friends […]
I am going to ask something terrible of you today. I promise it is for a good reason. I want you to make a warm cup of tea or coffee, curl up in your favorite chair, and imagine one of the worst things you can… Imagine that something happens that leaves your beautiful child/children without […]
So you blissfully planned your sweet little one’s second birthday. You are officially the mother of a toddler. Welcome to the chaos. Gone are the bottles and onesies, and you have packed up the Boppy, Bumbo, and Jumperoo. You are on to bigger things like spilled sippy cups, backwards clothes, tantrums, and potty training. Right?

We can’t always be near the little ones we love. Whether our nieces, nephews, or best friends’ children, they aren’t always close enough to visit as often as we would like. We may not get the chance to hand deliver a beautifully wrapped birthday or Christmas present to those sweet faces that live in faraway places. However, […]
We have all been there. That moment when after a crazy day of work, chef duties, referee duties, diaper duty, and bedtime, you finally find 10 minutes to check Facebook and feel like for a brief moment you are part of the adult world. Then you realize that you have absolutely no idea what any […]
