12 / 10 / 1912 / 10 / 19

So honesty is the best policy, and I’m actually now thirty-three as of the end of November instead of thirty, but sometimes wisdom takes a bit to settle in.

Dear Sweet Mama, Are you having one of those weeks? I sure am. Maybe you handed the cashier a tampon instead of your debit card. Or just forgot your wallet entirely.

9 / 9 / 199 / 9 / 19

Thousands of blog posts try to answer the question of why moms stay up late. Is it just needing more minutes in a day? Is it time to unwind with a glass of wine and a Netflix and actually chill (not the colloquialism)? Well I’ve been pondering why when sleep is the NUMBER ONE thing… Read More

Stop Talking Badmouthing Other People’s Kids. Really, Just Stop.

9 / 1 / 199 / 1 / 19

8 / 18 / 198 / 18 / 19

Positive parenting is a trendy as well, I’m a mom I don’t know what’s trendy anymore. It sounds great in theory, when your child acts a fool as children are known to do respond calmly and positively. There are certainly situations where this is appropriate, but I don’t believe in this method exclusively. Here are… Read More

5 Surprising Thing That Happen When You Start Working Out (Again)

7 / 25 / 197 / 25 / 19

From grade school through high school dancing defined my free time. No nothing like what you are thinking. No elegant point shoes or cool hip hop classes (if you thought the later it’s hilarious), instead I spent hours a day practicing for competitive Irish dancing. Yep. Like the Riverdance stuff.
