My favorite holiday just passed (May the Fourth), so I started looking around to find my next favorite holiday.
Did you even know there was a holiday dedicated to cleaning up your room?
According to several places on the...
I love Pinterest as much as the next mama. It is filled with yummy recipes you’ll probably never make, great outfits you’ll probably never buy, and cute craft ideas for your children that will ultimately turn into a #pinterestfail....
Forty-two. Thirty-eight. Ninety-nine. Set. Hiiiike!
My kids eat, sleep, breathe, and dream sports. I've heard them calling plays in their sleep. Around the house, it's constant chatter about who got traded to where and the most up-to-date league records. We're...
When my oldest was a baby, I became interested in photography. Taking pictures is a perfect hobby for me as I always have adorable clients, and I don't have to leave the house or find a babysitter to practice....
I’ll admit that I absolutely fit into the “soccer mom” demographic. I’m a stay-at-home mom, drive an SUV, and always have orange slices or a snack in my purse. However, there is one major difference between me and the...

Since having kids, I've grown more relaxed on start times...
I have been a social worker for almost nine years now. I have worked many jobs and have experienced some amazing things during my short career. It has been an honor to look back on my life. I see...
Learning to speak "teen." I thought that once my youngest hit a certain age I would be past the point of having to translate the language of children. I mastered baby talk and conquered toddler babble. But then I had...
Over the course of my life, I have learned that there are some questions that have polarizing responses. Really important things like: Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? Britney or Christina? Were Ross and Rachel on a break? Which Chris is...
I don't like cooking.
I wish I did. Instead, I find cooking stressful, especially with interruptions to separate squabbling kids.
Cooking with my kids “helping” is even harder. It takes longer. It's messier. Explaining everything takes more energy, and so does...
