Last month, my family decided to have a slow morning. That in and of itself isn’t all that remarkable - none of us, even the toddler, are really morning people, and it takes at least two cups of coffee...
We have reached the most glorious time of the year - consistently warm weather! Well, hopefully. For years I have (only somewhat jokingly) considered myself part plant. I need sunlight and warmth to thrive. I'm personally more happy and...
One of the things that drive me crazy, and ask my husband—there are MANY, is when people shake their head and sigh, “where does the time go?” Most of the time, they are staring wistfully at my daughter, and...
As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my son, one of the first things I did was buy books to read to him. Eight years later, many of the board books I read to him as...
It is that time of year again... awards and recognition season. The tradition that marks the end of another school year by recognizing a few for a job well done. With all the pomp and circumstance it can be...
You've lived your life in a bubble. All twelve months, plus the two months that you were still in utero.

Luke, I am your Father… May the Fourth be with you. May the 4th, otherwise known as Star Wars Day, is fast approaching and this boy house of mine is gearing up for an intergalactic family fun day. I am...
I was just a few months shy of having my first baby when I stumbled upon swaddle blankets as a “must-have” item for my baby registry. For me, swaddling had been a totally new concept but the reasoning seemed...
Anyone else ever wonder if their kids conspire against them at night before it's time to go to sleep? Not sure what I'm talking about? Well, I imagine it goes down something a little like this:
Kid 1: Hey, sis!...
I love spring! Besides being an Aries and obsessed with my birthday, my favorite part as a kid was our family Easter egg hunt. They were creative and magical! Looking back, I see all the work my mom put...
Dear Firstborn,
Can you believe you're about to be a big brother times TWO?! Time has flown by at warp speed since I was awaiting your arrival. I read and researched as much as any new mom possibly could before...
