School’s In Session
Back to School time is here again, and you may be wondering how I know these things since my child is too small for school. I know because I happen to live across from an elementary school that is full of SUPER loud little ones screaming at all hours of the day...
Vacation… All I Ever Wanted
And to some respect- I still do. You all know what I mean, traveling with children (the extra small ones especially) is not exactly easy. And unfortunately while I would love to toot the Babierge horn, there is no sort of child convenience rental system up here in the...
Pass it On
I have these lofty goals about being like my mom. Don't get me wrong, I fought with her probably from the time I turned 12 all the way through 18. But once I got out of the house I was able to see my mom as an actual person (instead of the imagined oppressor I had...
Happy Birthday Dear Baby…
Hold the phone. It's been almost a year already. My wonderful timehop keeps showing me pictures of my strict diet regiment of Taco Bell hot sauce and blue icees that I craved while pregnant (hot sauce in an attempt to coax JL out. Blue Icees cause it was June and hot...
Is Now A Good Time?
So here's the thing. While I think that it's brilliant and ideal to not judge, we all do it. I personally spend a fair amount of time judging myself. (Why do I not have abs like Kate Hudson post baby? How do all those Victoria's Secret models have fabulous boobs right...
Mother’s Day
May is, as we all know, Mother's Day. A time when we honor our mothers and get ourselves into a frenzy of buying the biggest bouquet we can to show them our love. Joking aside, I have an amazing relationship with my mother, and am very fortunate to have been raised...
Have Baby, Will Travel
When you have a kid, it's bound to happen- you'll need to travel. Whether by car, train, or airplane, you'll need to go somewhere, to see someone, to do something. Traveling with a baby or child is...hard. It's fun and rewarding too, but travel is a full on marathon...
April is C-Section Awareness Month
But for me, it's hard not to be constantly aware of my C-Section-the bright pink scar that almost cuts into the shooting star tattoo I got when I was 18 (bad idea) is a constant reminder of the day my life was forever changed. Before having RM, I thought I wanted to...
Is It Time Yet?
To be or not to be... That is the question. At least for me. My husband and I know we want to have a second child, it's a part of our plan. We want it to happen, we do. So why am I sitting here flipping through an US Weekly jiggling my leg and counting back how many...
Let Me Spoon Feed It To You
We've now hit that stage where JL believes he's ready to eat. And I am so modern and cool that I have decided to go with the self-led weaning method. Which I lovingly refer to as the "my kitchen floor, his high chair, and most importantly my child are a hot mess...
Frozen Sangria
This month we are toasting with Frozen Sangria! Want one for yourself? Check out the recipe here . Again we're loving the fresh berries being incorporated, but also- there's yummy sorbet. So your kids can join you in a sweet treat-- no one has to know mommy's is...
BlackBerry Mojito
This month we are salivating over these super simple blackberry mojitos (recipe courtesy of delish). They're summery and take advantage of the beautiful ripe fresh berries the summer has to offer (feel free to throw in raspberries or blueberries if that's more your...
