Hi, my name is Kelsey. I'm a married mother of two and I don't know all of the proper names for my own body parts (I'm looking at you vagina flaps, because that can't be what you're called). Are...
We had been lucky. Three kiddos in, and we had avoided the one thing as a parent I dreaded the most, a toddler sick with the stomach flu. With a whole lot of luck, blessings from above, or perhaps...
Hello October! It's the month of pumpkin everything, fall leaves, black cats, spooky costumes - and the month of pink ribbons. Pink ribbons on everything from eggs to bagels, football cleats to charcoal bags, and everything in between.

What was I thinking? Seriously, what was I thinking?
That pretty much summed up my last 2 days on Whole 30. I am making my 2nd attempt after quitting on day 11 last July. My excuse was I was pregnant and...

It happened at 1:30 in the morning. Because doesn’t it always happen in the middle of the night? I’d been asleep for maaaaybe two hours when I heard a cry for me accompanied by a coughing and gagging that...
Twenty minutes. A cheap spin bike from FB Marketplace. Running shoes because cycling shoes are out of the budget. It is 8:30 p.m. and the time is finally mine.

The time is here. The pastels, the baskets, the dresses, the egg hunts, and yes, the CANDY! In my case, lots of it. My father purchases an annual Easter basket for my son. ( I gave up buying one years...
