Source If you have haven’t gathered this by now, I’m not a huge fan of kid birthday parties. I am hosting a big one later today for my daughter. In general, I eschew the modern day trend of hosting a travelling petting zoo/hiring a dancing princess clown/renting out Disney World for the day. But my […]
Hangin’ Poolside
At some point in the early summer, my son developed an irrational ginormous fear of any body of water. Not talking lakes, rivers, or even a big pool here. Instead, think baby pool or bathtub. This obviously wasn’t going to fly; this Mom of the Year simply doesn’t have enough energy at the end of […]
Happy Birthday, Baby
Elyse, you are gorgeous. You are sweet. You are funny. You are my precious, little 1 yr. old baby girl. And NO ONE can rock that hat like you do. Happy birthday, baby 😉
Dressing the Kids
Saw this on GraphJam.com, and decided my children are the ideal Walmart patrons thanks to my husband’s dressing “efforts”… Okay, I’m not a fashion diva by any stretch and am not a fan of dressing my kids up like dolls, but I do have some general standards. As in, the clothing doesn’t necessarily have to […]
The Classiest Broad at the Wedding
I know, you can’t tell by how well I maintain my classiness, but the heat index was actually 108–feel for me a little. We are in the thick of wedding season right now. Weddings are great. Sure, I won’t lie–I definitely have my characteristic planning freak-out usually shortly after the initial invitation (Who will babysit? […]
Liebster Award
When Steph over at The Healthy Mom, nominated me for the Leibster Award, I definitely started workin’ a little bit of a rockstar strut. Thank you so much, Steph! See, I’ve never won anything before…okay, well maybe an award for doing a bunch of sit-ups in a row at field day in second grade or […]
Parenting/Parents Magazines: The Monday Review
Source 3+ years ago, when I was a proud parent-to-be, I fell in love with these publications. I read them, felt like an extraordinarily responsible knocked-up lady and learned a lot. Fast-forward to present-day and I still subscribe to both Parents and Parenting magazines. I still learn stuff by reading them. But…maybe not loving them as […]
Get It Together!
Source I feel like I spend over half my days wishing I could “just get it together”. Tell me I’m not alone! It’s just that this parenting thing is HARD, you know? We’ve got a lot of stuff in over favor–stable job, good home, relative health. All of these are huge blessings, I know. We’ve […]
The Demise of TomKat
Source In a world where celebrities marry and divorce more frequently than I can get in a trip to the grocery store, this probably shouldn’t count as a big deal. And for someone who is not a Tom Cruise fan, it’s crazy that I’ve basically dedicated the entire summer of my blog to him (okay, […]
Guest Blogger Jen: No Monsters Allowed!
My friend Jen makes me laugh so much! She’s one of those super-cool relatable moms with a great sense of humor who you just love talking to–you feel more normal and peaceful about life just being in her presence. She claims not to have anything together, but really I think she has it all together. […]
