So, my time is up. Maternity leave is officially over and yesterday I made my return to work. I kissed my little princess as much as possible and told her how much her mommy loves her. She just looked me in the eyes and laughed and smiled. I know she’s fine in the hands of […] Read more…

Am I Raising an Attorney?
When I would hear people complain about the “questions” stage with their kids, I thought they were being a bit “Debbie Downer” about it all. I mean, so what you hear the word “why” a million times a day. It’s how our kids learn, right? Right??!?!?! In the beginning of my son’s “questions” phase, I […] Read more…
Currently…
So, you might have noticed that I stepped out of the matrix. There has been so much going on in our little family that my brain has been blank. Just overwhelmed, I guess. There has been loss and new beginnings and we’ve made it through. My blogging mojo got lost in all the realness of […] Read more…
De-Nile…It ain’t just an Egyptian River
I have been at home since May. That’s the month my bed rest began before my little princess was born in July. Now that she’s here, I’m having those feelings all over again. The same feelings I had when my son was born. I don’t want to leave her. I am more than getting used […] Read more…
Where I’ve Been
Hey there! Miss me? Well, I missed you! I fell off the grid for minute. It’s been busy around these parts. My little princess has infant acid reflux and it is taking its toll on her and us. She’s handling it as best she can but she’s in pain at times and has a hard […] Read more…

Things Kids Say : On Aging
There is nothing like becoming a mama to keep me humble. Let me explain… I was hanging out in my son’s room, reading books. We were just shooting the breeze and then the following conversation went down. Son: Mommy, you have string in you hair. Me: I do? Son: Yeah, can I touch it? Me: […] Read more…
Faux Product Maven
This picture is why I had to let go of my Birchbox subscription. 🙁 I guess I’m not the products junkie girl that I thought I was. I have been known to collect a few bottles of products as I try and find something that works for me. That wasn’t the case this time. I […] Read more…
What I Want Wednesday
I have been coming up with a long list of things that seem to be calling my name. There have been handbags, jeans or of course shoes!!!!!! Too many cute shoes have been catching my eye lately. While I won’t be rocking anything with a heel anytime soon, it’s fun to look. Plus, living in […] Read more…
She’s Here! Dates + Deets
On May 11th, I was put on partial bed rest. My world came to a screeching halt in an instant. To go from my usual routine to just about being dormant was a real eye opener. I was still working from home and so thought if this was “bed rest”, perhaps I could get through […] Read more…
