Monday Mingle : Mom’s Nite Out Edition
This week, I’m linking up with Momtrends, Bon Bon Rose Girls and Glamamom for the Monday Mingle. After having my son, it took a while for me to pull myself together.

Don’t Even Ask
As women, we have so many rules. It’s been said for years that you never ask a woman her age or her weight. When we become mothers there is a whole new set of rules. Where do I begin? Don’t question maternity leave I know a few people (men) who look at maternity leave as […] Read more…

Best Birthday Gift I Ever Got
My birthday was last Thursday. I hadn’t planned anything to celebrate and every time my husband asked me what I wanted to do my answer was the same. Nothing.

Babies are Babies?
Please try not to be offended by my statement. It was true for me and may not apply to you. I just realize more and more everyday that my dog totally prepped me for mommyhood. Hear me out. I know that there is a big difference between a canine and a human. I haven’t completely […] Read more…
