Source I feel like I spend over half my days wishing I could “just get it together”. Tell me I’m not alone! It’s just that this parenting thing is HARD, you know? We’ve got a lot of stuff in over favor–stable job, good home, relative health. All of these are huge blessings, I know. We’ve […]
Guest Blogger Jen: No Monsters Allowed!
My friend Jen makes me laugh so much! She’s one of those super-cool relatable moms with a great sense of humor who you just love talking to–you feel more normal and peaceful about life just being in her presence. She claims not to have anything together, but really I think she has it all together. […]
Swimming in Sippy Cups
“I understand that you are not maliciously trying to ruin my life with sippy cups.” This is one of my all-time favorite personal quotes, as I referenced before. I said this to my husband one day when the sippy cup scene in our home was just a little too intense. If you’re not a parent […]
A Camping We Will Go…
My husband and I thought we were rockstars because we had taken our son camping shortly after he turned 1, and it went beautifully. It was truly fun, and we had a great weekend (granted, this may have had something to do with him breaking out in mysterious hives and the pediatrician telling us to […]
On Diaper Changing
It occurred to me that my readers who are not currently rockin’ the diaper changing scene might appreciate an opportunity to reminisce, prepare for joys yet to come, or generally just share in this delightful process. If you don’t have access to a little one, but still want to join in the fun, here is […]
Bring on the Hospital

You’ll find loads of helpful suggestions online, most of them on Pinterest in the form of “100 Fun Summer Activities for […]
Adult Conversation
How I envision any important messages will need to be conveyed in our homefor the foreseeable future In short, adult conversation doesn’t exist when you have young kids in the home. One morning recently my husband started telling me a story (obviously about our kids, b/c what else would we talk about?) Husband: “So Isaac started […]
Chasing a Toddler Through the Mall
I need to not only start leashing my child,but investing in the company who makes said leashes… This harkens back to those blissful days of my ignorant belief that I could successfully leave the house with two children. Last summer, I decided it would be a good idea to take my 3 week old daughter […]
Happy 35th Birthday
Today is my husband’s 35th birthday (how in the world did we get this old?!). If you’ve been reading up and putting the pieces together–yes, my son’s b-day was yesterday. My mom’s birthday was always the day after mine. I never realized how much it would suck to have your birthday right on top of […]
Three Years Old
Three Years. Three Years. THREE YEARS. Sure, I’m excited for my son and looking forward to celebrating his special day, but truth be told–I am also just doing a happy dance because my husband and I have managed to “successfully” (now that’s a grey area, huh? 😉 ) parent for this long. Even weirder, how […]
