This morning I woke up at 5am, ran around the house like a crazy person making sure every little thing was in order for the kids’ day, peaked in their backpacks to see that the Valentine’s Day candy bags were still accounted for (thank GOD I remembered to throw the bags in there because having…
If you’ve never eaten out alone before, get your entire hungry life together and try it!
“I labored for hours. Underwent an emergency c-section. Survived a double NICU stay. And endured four days of a grueling hospital recovery.

“Spoil yourself, that’s important.” -Kanye. It seems like moms always get the short end of the stick, don’t we? What do we spend our money on?

This post is really a warning and a list of ideas for parents who fly with kids. Don’t let TSA or the flight attendent punk you. You can do this! Just check out these 20 hacks.
“Rules are not meant to be broken.” Blah blah blah. Before I had kids, I had my life all spelled out, including how I would be the perfect parent. Parenting is super easy, manageable, and predictable as long as you are consistent with your rules. Yes, I actually believed that hogwash… until the kids came….
I washed a diaper inside of my high efficiency washer. YIKES. Here’s what I did next.
I got an interesting request the other day. It was from a friend asking me to host a Super Bowl party for “for everyone.” Why? “Because,” she wrote, “You have a big basement. All you have to do is finish the walls, fix the lights and bar and throw a party!” Notwithstanding the fact that…
