"I'm about to fly for the first time with my baby! HELP!"
While perusing social media, I have noticed a trend of moms asking for tips and tricks for airplane travel with little kids. With the holidays quickly approaching, I...
It’s been one of those days. Technically it’s been about 4 of those days in a row and I’m going to be honest with y’all: I feel like I’m drowning a little bit. I’ve said no approximately 715 times...
Big news.
I made it through my first day of potty training! And I think it went okay. Phew. (However, I know that I've only just begun, and I'm terrified of what's to come.)
Based on the recommendations of many, many...
I have a confession to make.
I was late in submitting this post to my editors. Normally I’m not a procrastinator, but this month, life got in the way. Sure, I had all the typical distractions as a mom –...
We’ve all seen that meme that says: “I’m Just Winging It, My eyeliner and my life”... and in a nutshell that’s how I feel about motherhood. If being a mamma has taught me anything in my 2.5+ year term,...

So, you stay at home with you son full time but he goes to full time preschool?
The look of bewilderment on people's face is priceless when I answer "YES."
What do you do all day if you do not have...
