It was a relatively calm, peaceful night. The kids were nestled all snug in their beds, and my husband was snoring away while I silently cursed my way through a pile of Christmas gifts with a cheap roll of wrapping paper and some unruly Scotch tape that I was pretty sure hated me. Truth told, I find […]
Track Milestones and Don’t Miss a Single Step
When I kicked off this parenting gig, I had it all perfectly lined out. I had the baby book at the ready AND a blank stork-themed calendar that would allow me to make daily entries recording notes about my son’s activities and development after he was born. It was a gorgeous affair–that lasted for a solid […]
Who Knew? You CAN Survive These Parenting Years!
When Huggies asked me to share a post with you about my tips and tricks for surviving the parenting years, I thought, “Of course! I have it ALL figured out, so it’s a perfect fit!” I’ve breezily navigated the transition to solid food, deftly transferred my children from cribs to beds, gotten them out of diapers, sailed through […]
I’m Going to Know My Truth
A couple of weeks ago, I had an unprecedented victory of sorts. A small slice of bossness that no one else knew about, yet definitively worthy of a sizable inner happy dance. You see, it was a Friday, a rather grouchy, tired one, though one still buoyed by the promise of the weekend. I was flying around the house trying […]
Carry On, Rainbow Rowell
Rainbow, Rainbow, where for art thou, Rainbow? You see, Rainbow Rowell might just be our book club’s universal favorite author. Carrie of Normal Level of Crazy and I have read all her books. We talk about them endlessly, getting that glossy-eyed Reader-in-Love look whenever Rowell pops into conversation. So when selecting this month’s read, we thought, “A new […]

Yup, Schoola and Mocloth have teamed up to make two magical things happen–fantastic, uber-affordable additions to your wardrobe and far importantly, money raised for the Mahala Fund to empower girls through education.

How Well Do You Really Know Your Dog?
I will never, ever forget the day we met our first child. My husband and I were young, silly, and convinced we needed a dog in our lives. Turns out, we did; we really, really did need this dog. He went and changed our lives in a very sweet way, you see. The pooch we […]
Spread Cheer with Sweetness This Season
We have a dog, a psychotic one, to be specific. His neuroses include an eleven year-long panic that he won’t be fed, a propensity to hide from flies in the bathtub and a decided inability to function when separated from his home. Like, ever. So when God matched us up with the most magnificent neighbors ever (who […]
Think Like a Geek and Ace Your Holiday Shopping!
Friends, Black Friday is officially upon us! Now, I know not everyone is down with the crazy like my rather obsessed bargain-hunting self, which is cool. We all shine in different ways. Even if you won’t be elbowing your way through the crowds in overstuffed malls today, you can still get your shopping on, easy-peasy with all the […]
The Busy Mom’s Ultimate Guide to Easy Holiday Shopping
Shopping season! Wa-hoo! Listen, I know the fruitcakes and Santa visits are calling, with a rather festive frenzy (read: keep the migraine meds on stand-by), but this shopping gig does NOT have to be a source of your stress this season, even if the budget is tight. Really. The key to successful shopping is efficiency. What […]
