Grab the Huggies® Wipes: Because Kids Outgrow Diapers, Not Messes*
I have an announcement, a very important announcement, friends: WE ARE DONE WITH DIAPERS! I know, I know. It’s basically the best news to happen around these parts in forever. But, silly, new-to-this-post-diaper life mom that I am, I wondered if this also meant it was time to bid adieu to my ginormous stockpile of wipes? The […]
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 […]
What Matters
This world is a pretty crazy place. There are things like kids, schools, dishes, and remembering to stock toilet paper and be home on time to meet the HVAC dude. There are pulls and demands from every direction, usually multiple times over, that leave Mommy feeling like one rockin’ hot mess. Since I’ve started kicking […]
Where Is the Adult?
I distinctly remember moving into my first apartment after college. After hauling a ton of boxes up the stairs along with an ugly fake ficus plant, I needed to pee. Dashing into my shiny new bathroom, I was met with a startling surprise–there was no toilet paper. What fresh insanity was this?? Who was in charge […]
Ten Spring Beauty Finds for the Busy Mom
SPRING IS HERE!! You’ll excuse me while I shout, but it’s been a very, very long winter. As in, if I am forced to go another day sans proper exposure to sunshine, my grouchiness quotient may grow disproportionately unmanageable. So, proper rejoicing over the turn of seasons is well due. As my scaly skin and […]
The Time Has Come to Clean Up
I have done it, readers. I have sobbed, and then sobbed some more when faced with the horrific looming atrocity of my junk drawer. The thing is, it doesn’t get better; it only gets worse. Somehow needed scissors and coupons manage to find deeper and deeper corners into which to lodge themselves and mock me. […]
Pioneer Days
Recently, things got rather basic around here. And by basic, I mean that remembering to brush teeth was a solid victory. Chaos left us scrambling to make sense of necessities while sleep was relegated to a fanciful indulgence. One sweet result of the fun was some precious family time. Another gift was a brilliant revelation that came to me while […]
The Other Side of Monday
A couple weeks ago, I shared about a rather low spot I found myself in, one which included vehemently slamming my minivan into the garage door. I won’t lie, it was a neat time. And delightfully, for my husband and kids the fun hasn’t quit. It’s been two straight weeks of “Mommy’s in a mood” around these parts. Somehow that […]
I Need a Life Coach
Having this blog allows me to do some really, really neat things. Things I would never otherwise do. Like sweat it out in hot yoga, get the most awesome family pics we’ve ever had taken, and plan fabulous blogging conferences. It’s fun, it stretches me, and challenges me to be my best person. I love […]
