My son was born prematurely back in September 2015. At 32 weeks, I had just finished taking my maternity pictures and the next day my water broke. I checked into the hospital immediately for further testing. Turns out, the...
Mama you endure a lot each day! You are strong, you have endurance and you learn more each day. Your day looks very different from your childless days, yet you wouldn't trade a single one. So often we find...
I spent a lot of time thinking about my future when I was growing up. It always included a husband, kids, a house and definitely NOT a minivan. There was no way someone as cool and stylish as me would...
I'm normally one to sit down and reflect and try to find connections and go 'deep' when I write. Maybe it's the change in seasons as we head into spring, or the seriousness that surrounds us everywhere else in...
I used to be a dancer. I danced for about 20 years. I lived to dance. I went to a high school that had an amazing arts program and I danced in the company in school, as well as...
It’s pretty easy to pick out a gift for a first time mom.  I would never think of veering away from the all-encompassing baby registry which I know the expecting mom spent so many hours pondering on the BuyBuyBaby...
I am a proud Pinterest user. Everything I pin, I make. When I pin, I pin with purpose. So for my daughter’s first birthday, you could imagine how I excited I was to look up and pin ideas for a...

Okay, I should clarify; I didn't make my husband (a grown man), do anything to his body that he didn't want done.  However,  I did have to convince him hardcore about the benefits of a vasectomy procedure (mainly the...
Did you know that March is National Reading Awareness Month? The need for a national campaign encouraging parents to read aloud to their children each day is necessary, as 1 in 3 students get to kindergarten without the tools required...
Maybe it’s me, or maybe it’s all moms, but it feels like everyday has a schedule, a predicable routine, a rhythm of its own—it’s in fact an ordinary day. Our mornings, whether on a weekday or weekend, seem to...
Becoming a first time mom can feel isolating at times, especially if you are the only one in your friend group with a child. I clearly remember wondering if my nextdoor neighbor, a mom with a little boy the...
Please don’t panic! It’s just word play, mostly. I am purely here to educate, and hopefully encourage. See, I had expectations about nursing. We all do, expectations are women’s expertise. I saw myself snuggling that sweet baby, feeding those...
Yoga and meditation have been popular in the wellness and fitness domain for quite some time for a very good reason. Yoga increases your strength, balance and flexibility and also does a world of good for your mental health...
Are people ever 100% confident in a decision they make? I mean, do they feel completely assured that they are making the best choice for their family? As I sit here and type this, I have mixed feelings about...
With a two year old and a seven month old I’d say I’ve experienced enough pregnancy for a lifetime. I spent Thanksgiving and Christmas pregnant two years in a row ... something I probably wouldn’t wish on anyone, and...
My husband and I recently (somewhat recently) took a much needed get away to Seattle, sans children.  Thank goodness for helpful grandparents.  While there I was able to reconnect with a girlfriend that I hadn’t seen since before I...
When we welcomed our first child into the world, it was unlike anything else I'd ever experienced. The very minute I met my baby, my chest filled up with so much love I thought I might explode because I...
In the last month my youngest has gone from a satisfied sitter to a cruising crawler who has his sights set on anything not baby proofed. Tipping hazards and electrical cords were the first items we had to correct...
I just want to start this post by saying I love my pediatrician. I’ve known her over ten years and trust her with my kids' lives (literally.) But, loving someone doesn’t mean you’re always truthful and I’ve told my...
Can you picture your life without social media? I was in a 5th grade classroom the other day and the students were having a discussion about how different life is now compared to life during the Colonial Time period. They...
Sometimes being a bad person, can feel so right. I recently published a blog about the 15 ways motherhood has made me a better person, but let’s be honest – motherhood doesn’t only bring out the best in us...
I recently became a second time mama, with the birth of baby boy #2 a few weeks ago, and things are definitely different the second time around! With our first son, I was the typical first-time-mom: anxious, wanting to...
This past April our youngest son was born, and while there are only 3.5 years between him and our older son, I could not believe the changes that had happened in baby items over that period of time! Preparing...
We focus a lot on the ways that motherhood changes us. In particular, we tend to talk about the challenges we face or how our lives are no longer just “ours” and how little time we have to do...
