***I have been compensated by AVEENO and JOHNSON’S® Baby for this post about Mommy Must Haves; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.*** I remember my early mom days too well. Leaving the house with a newborn and a toddler took no less than two hours prep and my entire […]
The Beauty of a Mom
It was a Tuesday. I had just gotten back from the gym–the one time of the day I can snag a short break from my kids while they are in the childcare room. Between the gym and home we had already struggled with buckling into car seats, fighting over snacks, and of course, always, arguing over who looked at […]
End of the Rainbow St. Patrick’s Day Pancakes
I want my kiddo to look back and remember a fun, celebration-filled childhood. One with lots of seemingly impromptu festivities to mark all of life’s little milestones and holidays. The problem I keep running into is that all of that festive fun takes lots of time, and as moms, time is a commodity typically in short supply! I’m […]

10 Snow Day Activities to Bust Boredom
I think we all can admit a love-hate relationship with snow days. There’s a part of me that loves being snowed in…nowhere to be. No running here, there, and everywhere to afterschool activities. No homework. On the other hand, a seemingly relaxing day can become long really, really fast. The kids who were bouncing off the walls with excitement a […]
10 Fun Activities for Kids in a Cast
Well moms, it happened. My son broke his elbow falling off his bike, and I was introduced to the world of having a kiddo in a cast. While I’m grateful it wasn’t a worse break (remember when Meredith’s son broke his femur bone and landed in a hip spica cast?!), not knowing how to handle a […]
Tips, Tricks and Hacks for Selling at a Consignment Sale
I love selling at consignment sales! When my kids were young, I pretty much depended on the income I would make there. I sold the clothes, toys, and baby gear they had outgrown and bought a new wardrobe and toys for the next year. It was almost an even exchange! I will admit that the […]
Kid-Friendly Football Party Cracker Stacker Bar
The Big Game comes with big appetites, even for the little ones in the house. While some of the grown up favorites might be a fit for the smaller ones in the group, others (like spicy buffalo wings and jalapeno-heavy nachos) might leave the kiddos feeling left out. As our crew grew beyond baby snacks, they […]
5 Tips for Putting Up a Kids’ Christmas Tree in Your Home
As far as Christmas trees go, we don’t always have the best track record, but we have managed to sort one genius holiday win that has become our favorite decorating tradition: the kids’ Christmas tree. My husband was inspired to give this idea a go a few years ago, and I am so glad he […]
The High School Reunion Apology
This is less of a post and more of an apology letter to my former classmates whom I will be meeting up within less than a week’s time for our 20-year high school reunion. Yes, that’s right–TWENTY YEARS. I’ll give you a minute to do the math, and yes, I am really old. Complaints of […]
