Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a couple of my neighbor friends ask me to get their kids on or off the bus and keep them for a short time between. Usually when they ask, they say “I’m really sorry to ask this, but...” or “I hate to ask you again...” I’ve started many questions with this apology, too. Especially because I am already getting my own kids on or off the bus, this is no ... Read the Post

A New Take on Back to School Shopping
My oldest daughter, Lucy (10) is an old soul. She is beyond her years when it comes to inuition, carrying on a conversation and her tastes. She has adopted a lot of my opinions when it comes to clothes, yet she has a style of her own. Even as a 6 yr old, she would anxiously await my Stitch Fixes to come in the mail and sit on my bed watching as I tried everything on. She had an eye for what ... Read the Post

Motherhood is hard. It is beautiful, amazing ... Read the Post

My busy time has just started shifting from daytime to the evenings. Actually, more accurately, my busy time is during the day with my ... Read the Post
Dear New Mom…
Dear New Mom, I have this unpopular opinion that I need to share with you. Everyone is talking about “how expensive babies are” allll the time, but I believe babies don’t have to be expensive. Kids?

How I’m Embracing “Self Care”
What comes to mind when you hear the words “Self care”? My first thoughts are massages, pedicures, shopping, weekends away... That all sounds great, and it also sounds expensive. It sounds like more precious time and money spent for a short reprieve. I’ve also believed that it’s overused and fluffy AF. As we have all been told, stress that isn’t dealt with will start to affect our physical ... Read the Post
