Celebrating Christmas with my children is truly a joy! I get to see the world through their eyes on Christmas morning while remembering the thrill of seeing a beautifully lit tree lined with a pile of presents. This beautiful scene is the upside; the downside is all the stuff! In addition to what Santa brings, […]
I Love My Mess
Friends, I’m a messy bit. While last week I managed to sort my junk drawer (Score! Happy dance! Hear the angels sing!), I beg you not tip-toe into my closet. You might (very likely, truth told) be buried by the spoils of my latest Matilda Jane bargain-hunted scores coupled with my firm incapacity to clear […]

Three Cheers for the Good Effort!
I’m so glad I get to tell you about the funny new movie Daddy’s Home on my blog – it’s a perfect match for me and my family. You see, Daddy’s Home is about two dads working hard to wow their kids, but fantastically blundering it up as they go. And as far as parenting […]
Hoping On
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. I beg to differ; I think this instead defines the sole way we mommas justify not burying ourselves under the covers and attempting to hide from our families every morning. If I lie really still, maybe they won’t […]
Keep Those Messy Hands Clean and Style It Up With Huggies Clutch n’ Clean
I’ll readily admit I’m a product junkie. Sold-out, full-on, no joke. It’s serious, friends.

So when Huggies introduced the most adorable wipes clutch cases ever last year, my excitement was substantially squee-y. Functional meets […]
