I am 35. What does this mean in this today’s world? I have young kids who run me ragged with Daniel Tiger parties while I have parents who are entering their more aged years. Or I would have “parents”, except my mother left us a couple years ago, and my very boss father is now running […]
Get Well Safely
I’d guess since my son was born five years ago, the dosing recommendations for children’s OTC medicines have changed at least 116 times. This may be an exaggeration. But it does seem like every time we go to the pediatrician, I get sent home with a new proper dosage instruction sheet. Generally, I panic so […]
Fighting for the Memories
There are many days, usually the ones littered with playdough-covered floors and emphatic toddler temper tantrums, that I sometimes think I want to forget. But the truth is, I would never really wish this. Memories, whatever they are, are incredibly precious. They remind us of all the love and connections in our life and more logistically […]
Jumping
A fan of change, I am not. I’m still working to wrap my mind around this whole Sunday package-delivery jazz, and my husband knows if WordPress updates to a new layout, it’s best to just pass me a paper bag and walk away. To me, life is full enough as such; the added stress of adapting to […]
Do You Dare??
I try to be healthy, I really do. I do loads of crunchy-ish things like essential oils, hot yoga, oil-pulling, and rocking my Fitbit like it’s no one’s business. But the thing is, it’s hard sometimes. More than sometimes, to be honest. So when someone or something encourages me along my journey to health, it’s a […]
My Future in 2794 Days
I am terrified to have teenagers. My children are 3 and 5, so this may seem a bit of a premature panic, but I remember being a teen myself. It wasn’t pleasant then; I can’t imagine sorting through those years from the side of a parent. I have actually done the math. Not that I’m […]
Hello, Bikram Yoga
A couple months ago, I got it in my head that I wanted to do hot yoga. I told my husband; he thought I was insane. I looked to my sister for support; her eyes just got very large and she carefully went silent. Huh. This was going to have to be one of those […]
Growing Strong with Enfagrow
*****I received compensation and free Enfagrow products for this post. I am grateful to them for introducing us to their product!***** I try with my kids, I really do. Amidst their crushes on lollipops and Hershey’s kisses, they have managed to eke out a love for fruits and veggies. But when Enfagrow asked me to check out […]
Vitamins with a Vengeance
As a general rule, I consider it a victory if I get my children to their annual pediatrician appointments semi-on-time, with only periodic temper tantrums and at least half of my hair pulled back into a semblance of a ponytail. I’m not sure why, but it’s as if my general incapacity for orderly functioning all comes to […]
Bites for Babies
In my early days of babies and blogging, I chanced upon Lisa Codina of Bites for Babies. Finding her was a blessing for me. Lisa is everything I’m not–together, creative, and likes to cook! When I saw the simple recipes she published, I would think, “I could do this!” (Huge for me, I know). She […]
