I saw an old friend recently. We talked about life, work, and parenting during our brief encounter, and I realized something… I don’t like her as much as I used to. Over the past few years, we have both become mothers. And I find that, the more times I see her, the less I like […]
What I’m Loving – February 4, 2018
Well, this was supposed to be a post on what products I liked that I came across in January. It is still that, but just being offered up for your information in February. What can I say? Any resolutions I made to get on the ball about these types of things have fallen to the […]

An Imperfect Birth Story
It happened again the other day. I was in a conversation with two women who had both delivered their children vaginally, and as soon as the conversation steered itself into birth stories, and I shared just a little piece of mine, I was strategically steered out of the conversation. I felt like the third wheel […]
An Imperfect Christmas Eve
December 19, 2017: Less than a week before Christmas and our house has devolved into a new level of chaos. With relatives coming in soon, I am resigned to the fact that this is what they will be welcomed with – counters that can’t be seen, toys in oddly out-of-place places, and bag after bag […]

I only recommend products I have actually tried myself, and I […]
Failing at This Whole Mom Thing?
So, I have to share the story of my morning with you, and I ask that you all bear with me as I do… After two weeks of illness running through our house, I am finally starting to feel like I’m getting better. So I was excited to get back to the gym today. I […]
Is Your Education Boxing You In to a Career You Don’t Love?

In any case, I only recommend products I have used personally, and I will always give my honest opinion if something I try out […]
When Should Our Sick Kids Stay Home?
My husband brags about how he had perfect attendance in school. And while I know that, in many ways, this is just another sign of his freakishly perfectionist tendencies and strong immune system, it got me to thinking about how we raise our own two sons.
