For all of you that work, I get it. You hate Mondays. But, here’s the deal, I hate Mondays too. You might think as a stay at home mom that Mondays are all like, “Hey! Lay in your PJs until 10, shower by 11, and possibly do something productive by 2 when the kids are […]
When You’re so Grateful You Can’t Hold it In
I read a beautiful post called, “Fighting Gratitude” a few days ago. She said so perfectly what I had been thinking. Although, I didn’t know I had been thinking it until read her post. Funny how that happens. But, as I read it, I kept nodding my head and thinking….exactly. You see, she was writing […]
The Last Days Before Two
I have 15 days until my youngest turns two. Last days can be hard. They can also be exciting. For me, this is both. Everyday, I look at the little boy that he is becoming and I get a lump in my throat and realize that I’m maybe using the word baby a little too […]
Five Lies You Might Believe as a New Blogger
Sometimes, I feel so very very small. And, I don’t mean in the physical sense. Because, we all know I love chocolate a little too much. And carbs. But, lately, I’ve had this nagging feeling that I’m a small fish in a big pond, and no one is ever going to notice little old me. […]
Manic Mondays: Fourth Meal
While one of the definitions of fourth meal from the urban dictionary reads, “a corporate conspiracy to further addict the hapless masses to crappy, fat-laden food.” (obviously referring to the Taco Bell campaign), I have a different definition. Fourth Meal: The meal that comes after dinner to torture parents right before bedtime. Yes. Somehow, we […]

I never really had an imaginary friend. That I know of. The truth is, I don’t think I ever felt the need to have an imaginary friend. When you grow up in a chaotic family with 3 siblings, who has time for made-up friends? I was one of those lucky kids that made friends pretty […]
Dressing Ariel. An Almost Impossible Task.
Polly Pockets. This is what we have dubbed every tiny, plastic, doll-like toy in our house. Although, after doing my research on the ever-accurate Wikipedia, Polly Pockets are actually a brand name, and several Polly Pocket knock-offs have spawned as a result. And, most of them (especially the Disney version) currently reside in my house. My daughter […]
An Open Letter to Open Letters
Dear Open Letters, I’m sorry it’s come to this, but I can’t sit here and not say anything anymore. I saw another one of you on my FB feed this morning, and I hovered over the mouse trying to resist the urge to read you. You really do think you know it all, huh? You […]
Parents that Bully
Every kid gets made fun of at some point in their life, right? I know I did. But, now that I’m a Mom, I want to protect my kids from ever feeling the pain of rejection. Ever feeling sad about who they are. I want them to never feel like an outcast, or like they […]
