At my second daughters' 9 month well-baby check up, her doctor casually mentioned that she thought it looked my daughter had a lip tie and should go to a pediatric dentist to get it checked out. I nodded and said...
Recently, I worked with a group of 5 other Moms to have a freezer meal swap. The basic idea is that you make multiples of the same meal and swap with other moms. Its easier (and sometimes more cost...
Life is different with kids, in some amazing ways, but also some ways that those without kids may not realize. Everyday life is going to change.
Here are some of my THOUGHTS in daily routine situations and what I remember...
Deciding to breastfeed your child is a commitment, more than I anticipated. Some days I couldn't wait to wean my first and seriously considered it. However, once my daughter self weaned at 23 months, I realized that it was...
Accidents happen.
As much as we try to prevent our child from tripping, wrecking their scooter or bike, or jumping off of furniture, it's going to happen. And when they do...generally a band-aid and Popsicle has everyone returned to normal...
This morning I was at one of my kids classes and a mom commented how cute my youngest’s outfit was. Being a woman I proudly beamed I scored that Lily Pulitzer outfit for $3 at a garage sale. The...

Remember when you had your first little bundle of exhaustion…..I mean joy! You were given a chart to record every little thing they did.
Eat, Sleep, Poop, Repeat.
I filled that paper out religiously, as if she would have died if...
Every mom has all either felt, seen, or heard stories about or all the above. The unsung pressure that a mom feels to be everything to everyone. To be fully present with her family, friends and community, and to do...
I Hate Holes. Someone please tell me you can relate...
We moved into our new home a little over 2 years ago. Something about hanging things makes the shell of a house feel like a home. So we proceeded to...
Crazy to think that summer is closing in on us! Get outside and enjoy these long days this weekend - try one of the Miami Valley's well known Festivals. If my weather forecasting skills are right...okay my weather app...then...
