It’s been a while. When last you heard from me, I was knee-deep in summer festivities. And like every one before it, last summer flew by. It was a perfect combination of relaxed schedules, complete lack of attention to diet, and ample screen time. Then came September. This month should just be renamed: A Mother’s … More My Church
Welcome to the jungle. And by “jungle” I actually mean summer. Here’s a visual presentation of how my summer is going so far: 1.) Our middle child wailed the morning of the last day of school. This is the same child that has had an issue with change since the day he was born. Years … More Welcome to the Jungle
This is the last week of school for my boys. The weather has been phenomenal. Homework hasn’t come home in a week and reading logs have been abandoned. I’ve reached the I-Don’t-Give-Two-Shits-What-Goes-In-Your-Lunchbox stage of the school year and our afternoons are filled with playing outside with friends and taking dips in the pool. The sprinklers … More Can’t Stop the Feeling!
I woke up the other morning to an army of ants having a party in our kitchen. It was a real rager. Ants of all sizes were all over the cat food, walking on the counter, and having a feast in our garbage. It was only 6:00 am and I now had yet another task to … More Fix a Drink

We are finally at a point where sleep books don’t dominate my nightstand and I don’t need three cups of coffee in order to socialize with other humans. We consider ourselves pretty lucky in that our … More Creep
Today was a good day. When I woke up this morning, I woke up to the smell of coffee brewing downstairs. My husband didn’t forget to set that all up the night before. As it turns out, icy stares and nagging DO work. We were off to a good start. Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank … More It Was a Good Day
I love my kids. I love them so much that sometimes it hurts my heart. Time flies by. Sometimes. I see them growing up right before my very eyes. It’s so beautiful. Sometimes. That aside, my kids drive me absolutely crazy. I say things I swore I’d never say and I do things I swore … More I Hate Myself for Loving You
Before I had kids, what did I do with all my free time? Seriously. What did I do? Because I can’t remember. It’s all a blur. My brain has rotted. They did this to me. Seven years and four months ago I became a mom for the first time when Jack was born. He was … More Bohemian Rhapsody
