Our home in a word for 2018- chaos! All kinds of chaos. Some is good- two crazy boys running around, coloring on any surface (appropriate or not). Some is bad- school starts in 15 minutes and we have no...
Dear Medela In Style® Advanced,
Thank you for your service over the past four and a half years. I have been breastfeeding for 44 months. This means that for 44 months I have fed my babies with my body....
I woke up today in a bad mood. No, not bad - mad. I woke up mad. It became obvious that I wasn't taking care of myself.
Let me give you some background information. Right now we are building our home...
Recently, I found myself in this place that you may recognize. I had three full-time gigs: my day job, my mom job, and my “other duties as assigned” job. I was always busy, volunteering for everything that was thrown...
If you’re a parent reading this I have no doubt you’re all too familiar with the overwhelming feeling of burnout. This past summer I found myself way beyond burned-out. Here’s how I was able to break my cycle of...
"I wish I had autism"
That's what my innocent, almost seven-year-old daughter told me when her sibling, my son, was newly diagnosed. My heart shattered again. What on Earth was I doing with my life?? The guilt was eating me...

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 love cooking. I come from a large family and showing love through food is something that we do. What I don't love is all the prep that is involved to get dinner on the table, particularly when we're...
Every Saturday I get a recess from the stay-at-home-mom life and work at the golf course. I drive the beverage cart. A job I loved prior to kids in our first year of marriage. You meet a lot of...
My husband travels. Not in the fun tropical, relaxing way.
In a way that affects our family. I am not talking a couple days here and there... I am talking FULL TIME. Sometimes he will leave on a Sunday evening...
Usually when I feel myself losing my schmidt as a mom, it's because both kids are pushing me to the brink in a very methodical but lightning fast way.
Things were going great two, maybe three minutes before and then the...
