Thank you to Google for sponsoring this post and compensating me as part of the Mom It Forward Influencer Network so I can fill you in on the family link YOU need! All opinions are 100% my own. Ahhh! Any other parents panicking a bit over how to handle all this technology with our kiddos […]
Screen Time Balance
It’s probably fair to say that we all spend too much time in front of screens these days. I’m in front of one right now writing these thoughts down, and I know I will be back in front of it later on today. When it comes to our kids, we often let them spend their […]
myCharge It Up this Mother’s Day!
****Thanks to myCharge for sponsoring today’s post with compensation and the HubMax 9000mAh portable charger so I could share this fab new product with you!**** So here’s the thing, friends, I’ve become “terribly important” in my own life. As in, when the SignUp Genius link for the school’s Teacher Appreciation luncheon goes around, a gal’s gotta […]
Track Milestones and Don’t Miss a Single Step
When I kicked off this parenting gig, I had it all perfectly lined out. I had the baby book at the ready AND a blank stork-themed calendar that would allow me to make daily entries recording notes about my son’s activities and development after he was born. It was a gorgeous affair–that lasted for a solid […]
Where the Boomers and the Millennials Meet Up
I get the Sunday paper every week. And I actually read it. Like, sit at the table, try desperately to ignore my children, and bury my nose in the newsprint so I can pretend to have some idea of what is happening in the rest of the world on the other six days of the […]
Time to Trade In and Get Phone Fancy!
We had a very sorrowful day last week. My husband’s phone screen cracked. Together, we just sat and stared at it, as if we could some how will it back into wholeness. You see, we aren’t due for new phones until next summer, so he was looking at a whole year of a shattered view with an […]
Go Hollywood with Your Kids: UrLife
Aren’t our fancy smartphones fabulous? It is entirely possible to capture almost every minute of your child’s life with one sleek device. Back in my day, video recording required more large equipment than NASA’s shuttle launches and there was this crazy thing called rolls of film. You’d drop them off at your local Kmart, wait […]

MyCharge Cheer!
Dude, the holidays have become an all-hands-on-deck situation around here. It’s a wondrous array of wrapping paper, obsessive checking of Amazon lightening deals, and piles of burnt cookies shouting-out my stunning domesticity. Fabulous. In all this holiday merriment, teensy things tend to rile Mommy. Read: she goes bat-crap crazy. Over the weekend, I misplaced my scissors and began […]
Everalbum’s Got It Covered
Pictures. Pictures. PICTURES. Spend just 30 seconds in my home and my obsession is apparent. Yes, I was the psycho pregnant lady stalk-calling Picture People to make sure I fully understood their membership options six months before my first child was born. I like memories. I like smiles. And I like things that make me […]
