When I originally started this blog, I was in a weird place. I was a new mom, trying to navigate working a full-time job while also taking care of my then one-year-old son. I was feeling stifled at work and was just generally unhappy professionally. I figured that a blog might be a good way […]
A Sad Day in Annapolis
I wrote the below thoughts on Friday, June 29, 2018. It has taken me this long to post them, simply because I haven’t wanted to believe that something like this could happen here. But, in fact, it did. And sadly, I have mostly avoided that area since (I have now driven by there once). Not […]
An Overdue Update
Life has been hectic lately… Not hectic in the way it used to be, when I was commuting 3 hours a day. Those days are gone and a new level of hectic has emerged. All those little things that I wasn’t getting done now seem to have become more important. I put more pressure on […]
When an Old Friend Became a Mom…
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 […]
What I’m Loving – November 25, 2017
It’s that time of year – shopping season. If you found Black Friday to be disappointing, or simply didn’t get enough $5 fleece pants for everyone on your list, check out some of my favorite products and sites (and a few new ones), below. 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 […]
