It was a normal Sunday morning and we were playing with Minnie Mouse legos. I was sipping a cup of coffee and my husband and I were watching my 3 year old play, when suddenly the game of pretend...
As a family, we just celebrated one year since my husband has been home from deployment overseas. Boy, do I wish his year gone would have flown by as quick as his first year back. We love having him...
It was a hectic night like most bath nights. Wrangling three kids to bathe long enough to get completely clean but not so long that it takes forever. You know the fine line here. By the time they were...
This summer was full of uncharted territory. There were no summer camps, pools were by reservation only, and even getting together with groups of friends to play could feel a bit close. If it were under normal circumstances, we...
These last five months have been anything but normal for all of us. In fact, it has been the exact opposite. Our world has been flipped upside down, preschool has been canceled, Daddy has been working from home, we...
Mealtimes look different these days. Gone are the times of grabbing a quick bite and heading out to the door to work. If I had 10 minutes instead of 5, I’d make a smoothie and chug it before brushing...
I was pulled over. I had too much. I was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI).
I’m a mom, who had too much fun one night, but otherwise is responsible.

As moms, we likely all share the common goal of ensuring that our children have the very best life we can possibly provide for them. It's a challenge at times, sure, but we are up for the task (most...
Motherhood.
It is a word so powerful that just typing it gives me the chills. A word that encompasses responsibility, love, and sacrifice, and while I always have been grateful for and appreciated my own mother, I did not...
I'm not a fan of the front porch couch.
Admit it, you've driven somewhere at some point in your life and noticed a couch that should neatly be tucked away in a cozy living room, randomly placed on the front...
This summer, we decided to read some books as a family. We've read as a family before this, but not very intentionally. Our girls are 9, 6, and 5, and I'm 33... finding something we could all enjoy felt...
We can all agree this year is an absolute dumpster fire. Now, with the school year around the corner, but (maybe) no actual school, you've had to get creative with your childcare. For those of you who have decided...
