Sssssshhhh…I have a secret to share. Some days, I am an absolute hot mess. I smile big and try to look put together by matching my shoes with my shirt or something cute like that (woo hoo!), but essentially...
"Just don’t forget disposable underwear and pads the size of your arm."
That was what I led with when talking about the not so glamorous side of childbirth. My poor, recently pregnant friend looked at me with disbelief, mouth gaping,...
Ever since Mary gave birth to her third child she noticed “down there” was just not the same. For one thing sex was just not what it used to be. It was uncomfortable and it almost felt as if...
I am ONE in FOUR
I am a 1 in 4 woman who has experienced pregnancy loss. Oddly, it is something I feel more comfortable talking about with complete strangers than with those closest to me. It is such a...
I recently came across one of those "If you____, then post this as your status" things. I don't know what you call those. They're not "memes," and they're not "chain mail," though they kind of have the feel of...
IT’S FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Phew. I’m done. Fall is my favorite time of year. The cool weather. The scarves & boots & sweaters & tights. Pumpkin pie, apple crisp, hot soups, and spiced wine. Walks through the falling leaves and campfires...
On October 6th, 2017, I turned 36 years old. Shockingly, this isn’t at all daunting, but instead extremely eye opening. Obviously, a lot can happen in 15 years-- some good things, some great things, and some not-so-good things but...
My Family Is Transracial
I am a proud mom to two daughters, one is biological (6) and the second is adopted (1). There is a 5 ½ year gap between my girls, which was not the plan, but an amazing...
Every year on Halloween, I cheerfully hand out candy to a few hundred variations on baby bees, gory zombies and cute animals walking on two legs and shouting “Trick or Treat!” while stuffing a bag or bucket in my...
A Boutique Destination
Up until this weekend, I had only run errands and attended business meetings along with my husband. I'd found the determination to venture out with my daughter and pick up my online order of groceries, and head...
It has been almost five years since that day. The day I left school and casually ran to the store before picking up my son, taking my time as I shopped around. That day I wasn't in a hurry,...
Hey Indy Moms, did you hear? IKEA opens THIS Wednesday (10/11) right here in Fishers!
This past week I got a sneak peek of the new IKEA store here in Fishers and once again, my love for this store was...
I remember the moment as if it were yesterday. My ex-husband and I sitting down our then, 9-year-old son to tell him we were getting a divorce. With big huge tears in his eyes, he blurted out “why can’t...
I am pretty sure there is a "Mommy Heaven" somewhere out there. It's a simple place. A getaway, a haven of sorts for over-worked, under rested mothers who do it all. I often go to this Mommy Heaven in...
