Once upon a time, there was a Mommy and a Daddy. They were happy, but they were very, very tired. You see, their 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old were the adorable lights of their lives, but these children required a rather sizable expenditure of energy. To feed them. To make sure backpacks were […]
Win Mother’s Day Hollywood-Style
Do you ever swoon a little when you hear about the incredible swag celebs score at events? Well, here’s your chance to stop swooning and start scoring the loot for yourself! When Distinctive Assets (est. in 1999 and producer of gift bags and backstage gift lounges for practically every major award show) contacted me about the fabulous gift bags they […]
Celebrate Mom with Flowers
I love my husband. He is a good man, a really good man. But sadly, his bent on being logical doesn’t allow him to understand flowers, “They cost so much and just die. You can’t keep them.” Exactly. This is exactly the point. Ladies want to be special enough to be spoiled with something pretty, even if […]
Green Plane Shark Attack
Hello, I’d like to introduce you to the Green Plane Shark Attacks. Lest your nerves quake in fear over the ferocity of this name, rest easy. This is merely what my 5 year old son’s soccer team calls themselves. As best as I can figure, the coach gave up on reaching a consensus and allowed each of the […]
Should You Keep Your Baby Up Late For Summertime Fun?
I would say getting your child to sleep through the night is one of the biggest head-scratchers as a parent, but let’s be honest: when you are going on night upon sleepless night, you’re not just scratching your head, you’re sobbing in repetitive fantasy of burying yourself under the covers–perhaps for a week. My kids are […]
The Ancient Allure of The Dovekeepers
This has been a heavy week around here. With some hard truths about the trickiness of trying to balance it all to an honest confession about my son’s education, I so appreciate you letting me share my heart with you. I love being real about this life, about all the things that grip and stretch us–you know, the […]
Make Your Memorial Day Weekend an Extra Special Staycation
Vacations are a lot of fun, but of course they can also be a lot of work. If you and your family can’t agree on a vacation destination, or you’ve been to all of your nearest vacation spots, or you’re just not in the mood to pack a suitcase and pile into the car, then […]
I’m Tired of People Telling Me My Kid Needs to Be Fixed
Let me be clear from the get-go: no one has actually ever said these words. No, this is purely my sensitive Momma’s heart hearing implications that may or may not be there. And let my appreciation of my son’s teachers and our school district also be abundantly clear. I feel very blessed to live where we do […]
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
I write a lot about working hard to accept our age and stage in this life, probably because it’s one of the things I struggle with the very most on a day-to-day basis. It never seems fair. Or right. Or like it makes sense. It is that odd 12 minutes you have in between herding children […]
Summertime Gift-Giving is in the Bag!
With Mother’s Day, the end of school, Father’s Day and summer birthdays coming our way, it almost feels like this season is as gift-giving busy as the holidays! It’s no secret that I love to shop, but our tight budget is always a concern. I really like to make sure that the items I purchase are […]
