So, it’s been a couple weeks since our vacation in Florida and I’m really missing the beach! Watching my boys play together in the sand, riding on the kayak for their first time, searching for seashells, and splashing in the water, made for some great memories. All of this fun in the sun got me to thinking. I should probably post E’s nautical themed first birthday deets from almost a YEAR AGO. Folks, he is almost two!! This mama is suhhhhlacking! It has {Read More}
Book Review: The Danish Way of Parenting
March 8, 2017 by
Getting time to yourself as a parent isn’t something you take for granted. BUT, what to do with the pockets of alone time is the big question. Should I go for a run, take a nap, clean the house (not desired but necessary), have a glass of vino and catch up on Netflix, read a book, finish the project I started, or DO NOTHING? Usually, reading goes by the wayside because it requires FOCUS and I’m pretty tapped out mentally by the time I can actually {Read More}

January 14, 2017 by
Soooo, before I became a parent, I had these hypothetical thoughts in my head of how life would play out once I had kids of my own. I mean, it wouldn’t be all that hard.

January 5, 2017 by
Calling all laundry lovers! Okay, you can all go ahead and put your hands down. Actually, who are we kidding?! Let’s be honest…the words laundry and love do not belong in the same sentence. Not sure I have ever met anyone who actually ENJOYS doing this household chore. I mean, if for some odd reason, you do, well….you’re an anomaly. The process of washing, drying, folding, and putting clothes away is just fart too lengthy of a process. Some days, I have to run the washing machine a 2nd {Read More}
A New Year: my PLACE in life!
January 3, 2017 by
Yes, a new year has arrived, which brings about resolutions and goal setting. Everyone wants to improve areas of their life to be happier and healthier. Last year, I chose a word that inspired and motivated me, START. My main objective was to stop fearing the unknown and no longer allow my perfectionism to get in the way of moving forward to follow my passions. For 2017, I’ve chosen the word PLACE, using it as an acronym, to help outline the areas of life {Read More}

December 31, 2016 by
If you didn’t have a chance to check out Part 1 of Lessons Learned in 2016, check them out here! Over a cup of coffee and some solitude (a rarity with kids), I came about the remaining reflections: SHIFT your SOCIAL interactions Sometimes (call me crazy), I wish we could go back to the days without internet and social media. People actually engaged AUTHENTICALLY with one another, instead of their head buried in a cell phone. Again, am I innocent of this? No. But it’s definitely an {Read More}
