You guys. Here I go, I’m going to be terminated from every Facebook Mom Group after this post. Maybe some of my Facebook friends will drop me after this too. If you’re a mom, chances are you belong to some sort of Support Group on Facebook (Moms of Newborns, Toddler Moms, Breastfeeding Moms, etc). Do…
As I sat in the living room, listening to my girls fight over a Mother’s Day gift they were working on in the next room over, I couldn’t help but feel like it was all for nothing. Here I was, not spending time with my children just so they could make sure I had a…
10 years ago I hosted a spaghetti wrestling ‘event’ for my 21st birthday. Yeah, I was that girl… Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, Facebook has a fun little way of showing you your memories. Facebook has been showing me the photos from that memorable night. Do you know what I see when I look at…
We are only a week into the “Treacherous Threes,” as my 10 year old step-daughter calls it, but I am already feeling the shift from what I thought was the “Worst it can get 2’s” to “It will get worse 3’s.” Talk about walking on eggshells, I can’t do anything without totally ticking Arabella off…

Thinking of my daughters. I have watched, and witnessed, the online community attack one another for a number of things: their beliefs, their political…
I took a vacation the other night and it was beyond amazing. It was better than Disneyworld…there were no swarms of children. It was like being on a tropical island; I was so relaxed and there were So.Many.Colors. I was going to keep my new favorite getaway a secret, so I can continue to enjoy…
My sweet little girl turns 1, one week from today. ONE! How is this possible? It feels like I just found out I was pregnant. The feelings are all too real – there I am standing in the bathroom wondering if what I’m seeing is real. Am I really pregnant? I feel like I’m going…
Sleep really isn’t that important. I used to require think I needed 10+ hours of sleep per night. That mindset was significantly altered during pregnancy.
