I love summer. I love swimming in the pool, walking barefoot, and the splash of freckles across my nose. I love lazy evenings on our deck, the smell of fresh-cut grass and sleeping with the windows open. I love the ease of trading in snowsuits for sandals and how ridiculously blue freeze pops turn my […]
K.U.D.O.S. to Tackling Childhood Hunger!
A couple weeks ago I shared with you why childhood hunger is such a serious concern in the summer months. When school isn’t in session, many kids lose their access to the free or reduced price meals they get throughout the year. Thanks to organizations like the ConAgra Foods Foundation, taking steps to battle childhood hunger […]

Smores, Tents and a Fancy-pants Cake?
You know that whole bit about how I’m not crafty or creative? It’s not a shtick-for-show. It’s real. I see craft supplies and I panic. DIY projects to pretty up my home sound like a modern form of torture. So when summer rolls around, and it’s time to come up with fun ideas for my kids’ birthday parties AND […]
Inner Sandcastle
I’m not the kind of gal who loves rolling around in the sand. Or the hot beating sun. Or mixing sweaty drip in with with sunscreen and feeling like a greased pig on parade. You might go so far as to say, I’m not a beach gal. Except I love my kids. A lot. And […]
Welcome Back, Perspective on Parenting!
A while back, I had my new friend, Julia Sherwin, come over and made her hang out with me. This wouldn’t be so weird, except that I shoved a camera in front of her face and made her vlog with me. The thing that killed me, and know that I was sold on Julia for good […]
Lufthansa and Library Books
And then it happened. I got a plane ticket to Germany. It just wasn’t actually mine, and it had already been used, but this is so not the point. The point is, for a slice of time, I had a connection with something outside of my limited realm. I found it in a library book. […]
Frozen is Finally YOURS!
My daughter is turning 3 this week, so she’s not fully at the age of fan-worshiping. And I’ve largely worked to downplay the Frozen obsession because I’ve heard the urban legend rumors (totally true) of how IMPOSSIBLE it is to snag anything even semi-Frozen-related. But truth told: she swoons over Anna and Elsa. So just imagine the […]
MomAssembly Brings the Instruction Manual
If I had to guess my most oft-said phrase in my parenting journey, “I’m losing my mind” would probably go for the win. From the moment my son let loose his first wail, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of being completely clueless. I had read all the books. I had friends. I even managed […]
Here’s to Being Hunger-Free
July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. It’s full of grilling, kids running around the year, adorable star-printed duds, the sky lit up with magnificent colors, and a recognition of the most boss moment in our nation’s history. This weekend is a fun weekend, a time of celebration. When The Motherhood asked me to team up with […]
