Just a few months ago, I decided it was time I got on the butter dish train.
My kids love a good buttered toast. My husband and I enjoy some Kerrygold every now and again. And I was tired...
I was recently scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came across a post written by a first-time mom.
In this post, she lamented how difficult it was to function when her sweet 7-month-old daughter was still not sleeping...
I begrudgingly stalked back up the stairs to his bedroom at 8:10 a.m. with my lukewarm coffee in-hand, and my fuzzy pink robe draped on me like a turtle’s shell. Truth be told, I wanted to crawl back into...
This topic has weighed heavy on my heart for some time now. It is something I have struggled with immensely over the years and feel completely silly about. I usually have to dig deep within to even allow myself...

It’s time for me to fess up to a shameful secret I’ve been keeping for the past four years. I did not vote in the 2016 presidential election. Ugh, just writing those words makes me feel retroactive guilt. At...
It’s no secret that turning 40 comes with a big ole bag of expectations about what your life should look like - who you should “be.” My younger self had specific notions about where I should be in my...
My husband’s grandma is dying. We drove up and said our goodbyes tonight. She is the most amazing woman, a true legacy. A woman known for her faith and traditions and open arms. We left knowing this will be...
