When you know your youngest child is also your last, it comes with mixed emotions. On the one hand, there is relief and a sense of closure. You look at your family and you know what “IT” looks like, the dynamic, the car size that you’ll need and whether or not you can ever afford a […]
My son didn’t receive an award for his hard work and I’m glad…
Hockey, baseball and floor hockey. My son has played these team sports for years now and at the end of each season he received an award. Not because they won and not because he stood out from the rest of the players (i.e. MVP, best hitter, most points, etc…). Rather, he received a participation award, […]
Baby Sleeping tips from the expert & a Giveaway
No matter what we hear and what advice we receive before having kids, nothing truly prepares us for the real deal. I would say that the hardest part for me was the lack of sleep. Or more accurately, the interrupted sleep! I remember waking up a few days after my oldest son Kyle was born […]
Why I let my kids play hooky from school
I have to start off with a disclaimer… my oldest son is five, so he’s just in senior kindergarten. You might want to speak to me in five years when I may have to revisit my opinion. However, I have a strong suspicion that it won’t change. You may not realize it, but you have […]
I’ve found my village!
There seems to be a lot of negativity in the press lately. As a parenting blogger, articles that are specifically reserved for parent shaming and bashing make the top of my news feed. While the recent events involving young kids and animals are devastating in so many ways, I was mostly disheartened by how hateful everyone was towards the […]
Am I a worse parent because I’m a Stay-at-home-mom?
I recently wrote about my struggles of being a stay-at-home-mom (you can read about it here). Not that I don’t love this “gig” and there’s really nothing else I would rather do. My post was to highlight the repetitive aspect of being a stay-at-home-mom and how there truly isn’t a real break. There is no 9 to […]
Nate won’t say Mom, but he says all of these words instead…
Nate, my amazing, silly, funny and easy going third son is a quick learner. I’m sure it has something to do with wanting to keep up with his older brothers. It’s no wonder he’s been our earliest talker. As early as 18 months he started saying two-word phrases and just four months shy of his second […]
Join the Mother’s Day Twitter Party with Pampers
I don’t know about you, but the biggest change in my life happened when I had my first son, when I became a mom. Before becoming a mom, I had visions and dreams of what parenthood would entail. Some of my thoughts were accurate, while others were visions and dreams, but not reality. Becoming a mom […]

A letter to the mom whose kid I yelled at!
Dear mom of the child I yelled at at the playground today, It happened. I became that mom that I promised that I would never be. I did the unthinkable…I yelled at your child. The thought of someone doing the same thing to my kids makes me cringe. I feel like my kids already get […]
