It’s here, friends. The end of summer is upon us. I know. But that doesn’t mean you need to put your beloved books down! In fact, just the opposite. No time like the present to dig into your reading and escape the hassles and woes of Back to School prep and fuss. There is something solid […]
Win Big as a Fresh Family Heading Back to School!
Back to School is coming fast, and I’m teaming up with some of my favorite brands and bloggers to offer a huge back to school giveaway! Three winners will take home a backpack loaded with school supplies – including Boogie Wipes. Plus a mommy clutch – full of everything mom needs to make the start […]
I Love Our Kind of Old
Friends, I’m getting old. My left knee crackles when I stand up and I’ve caught myself saying, “Mommy has to move slowly, kids. Her hip is out again” more than I’d like. I can’t even tell you the horror I felt upon learning our local fireworks didn’t start until 9:45pm. How could I ever stay up […]
99 Days of Summer Said 99 Ways
From Memorial Day to Labor Day there are 99 days. 99 days of summer, to put it simply. Yet check in with any parent who’s been there, and they’ll tell you. These 99 days are our stage–our stage to shine, to crash, and to fall into endless heaps of exhaustion at the end of long days. […]

Fall Fashion with a Southern Flair
Let’s be straight: I drool for fashion. I sit in my perfectly ensconced-by-budgetary-concerns world of preschool pick-up-friendly athleisure and fantastize about more. More pretty things. Less advertising to the world at large that I work solely from home in my yoga pants. I reverently flip through the pages of People Style Watch and think, “This could […]
How the Astronaut Wives Club Got It So Darn Right
As I write this, I am currently up-to-date with my On Demand corners-of-child-rearing viewing of Astronaut Wives Club (I know, I KNOW. Mom victory!) and 3/4 of the way through the true-story book that inspired the show. I first ingratiated myself in astro-culture when my sister said, “You have to watch this show. Seriously.” She […]
Back to School Like a Boss
It happened yesterday. I looked at my children and had the startling revelation that they grew. I know, I know. Shocking how they keep doing that. Then I realized that, with their growth spurts, they would have no appropriate clothing for Back to School in the fall. And then I remembered they need backpacks too. And […]
The Firework Moment
I’ve never been one for excessive optimism regarding my capacity to handle my kids. I wish I was. I wish I was the type to bound out of bed in the morning with a big “Let’s do this!” fist pump in the air. Instead my first thought tends to be more of the “If I bury my […]
How to Be a Good Neighbor
Did you just move into a new home and are now excited to meet your neighbors? Or, did someone new just move in next door to you and you want to make them feel welcome? In either case, be the kind of neighbor that people like and want to get to know, especially if you […]
