The baby had gone down with relative ease; I'd just finished an episode of the deliciously entertaining first season of Unreal; and I was ready to...
It takes a strong and patient person to take on a mama and her child(ren). From my own personal experience, I have compiled a list of the most important things to know before pursuing a single mother:
You will...
My son is soon to be three years old. Where has the time gone? The days of his little rolly polly baby body are no more. He speaks full sentences and has conversations that make me wonder how on...
Okay, I know, I'm pretty sure the last three posts I've written have been about either things that annoy me, things I refuse to do anymore, or some other whiny things.
But as 2016 begins, I just want one last...
Recently, my husband and I returned home from our first solo vacation since having our son 14 months ago. We spent 10 days exploring Iceland; our itinerary included glacier hiking, long, romantic dinners without screaming and scurrying to replace...
I am going to warn you now that this is not a “feel-good”, happy Mom post. This is about a very difficult side of parenting that we often try not to think about. My children (my oldest daughter especially) have...

Christmas is officially right around the corner! I have to admit, when it comes to gifts, I usually go all out for the kids. But when it comes to my dear husband, I hit a brick wall. What makes it...
I come from a fairly large family. With more cousins than I can count on my fingers and toes, family and connectivity is something that is near and dear to me. That said, I'm pressed about holiday traditions. SO...
We're coming up on the holidays, and you know what that means! I'm not talking about packed malls, decadent food, and the sweet crooning of Bing Crosby. I'm talking about a holiday tradition older than any of those festivities:...
When I showed my four year old this photo of me and my mom, I asked him who the baby was. His response, albeit cute, sent shockwaves up my spine. He thought the baby was him. Before I could...

Wine Tasting Around Indianapolis
I’m not going to lie – I enjoy a nice glass of wine often. Sometimes two. I like to call myself a wine tasting...
