Every weekend I’m on a “things to do with the kids” mission. There are definitely some weekends where we hang at home and see where the day takes us but most times I’m planning an outing of some kind. I’m away from my babies for most of the week while they are at day care. […] Read more…

The One Where I Admit I’m Jealous
I’m going to be honest here and say out loud what I have been thinking for a while. I am jealous of my babies. I’m jealous because they have each other. Being an only child has it’s privileges. Don’t get me wrong. All the attention was on me. That’s good because I got all the […] Read more…
Isabella Dutton called her babies parasites…
For me, having children was a beautiful thing. Being a mom is truly my favorite gig. I am that mom that doesn’t have complaints about motherhood. I’m not saying things are always perfect. I’m not saying my babies are always angelic. What I am saying is that I made a choice to bring them into […] Read more…
Celebrating My Favorite Gig
Mother’s Day 2013 is in the books and it was a great one. I spent my weekend in awe of the little people I had a hand in creating. They probably have had enough kisses and hugs to last them a lifetime. Too bad – I’ve still got more to give. 🙂 Here are the […] Read more…
Hoarders Hitting too Close to Home
My three year old is a hoarder. There it is. I said it. It’s out there. This little man goes through our house creating piles of stuff. He calls them towers. It’s sweet. It’s also a pile of toys.

Socks with ruffles. Check. Pretty dress. Check. Matching purse and hat. Check. Patent leather shoes. Double check. This is what Easter looked like for me. It was all about the Easter speech in church, the Easter basket treats and the clothes. That was the day I got to break out of my usual ponytails and […] Read more…
Keep Calm…You Don’t Suck
One of the first things I learned about after becoming a mom – mom wars. It’s the practice of believing that your way and only your way is right when it comes to motherhood. Before actually becoming a mom, I had a million and twelve opinions about motherhood. You probably could have called me Judgy […] Read more…
And So It Begins…
From the moment my daughter was born it was true love. My son was mesmerized by his baby sister. I remember telling him, “She’s your baby sister all by yourself.” He was so proud that she’s “his” baby sister. Immediately, I could see that he would be the best big brother. For the most part, […] Read more…
On Marissa Mayer: Is this a deal breaker?
Working from home will no longer be an option. At least, if you work for Yahoo!. The company had been in the headlines these days because its CEO has decided that it is in the best interest of their company to no longer allow working from home to be an option. People are in an […] Read more…
Finding my Village
It may take a village to raise a child but what about that child’s mother? The transition from childless and carefree to mama isn’t an easy one. For me, it was even tougher because I didn’t have many friends nearby who had been down this road. I wasn’t quite sure my friends understood the changes […] Read more…
