{Find the rest of the posts in this series HERE} It’s incredible how much we can allow ourselves to be affected and influenced by our Body Image, but as moms, we can all truly appreciate what it is a Mom Body can do. It can survive sleepless nights, fight through exhaustion to feed and care for children, carry babies, sometimes breastfeed. Sometimes you have nothing left, but find the... read more→
Newborn babies are glorious. Their sweet smell, the softness of their brand new skin, the way their tiny bodies curl up in your arms... There's just nothing like the perfect little love of a newborn. There's also nothing like the slew of new mom advice we get from experienced moms when we are expecting. This isn't my first go-round as a parent, and still my favorite nugget of wisdom is the... read more→
I have "FOMO" or Fear Of Missing Out. The first step is admitting there's a problem, right? I'm not quite sure if the fear of missing out on something is a trait you're born with, develop through the years, or a problem that has come to light since social media has taken over. I do know for a fact that social media makes that type of fear surface with every refresh of your Facebook or... read more→

I should have been... read more→
*This post is not exclusively for working moms. It's really for any mom! I'm just giving my experience throughout the week as a working mom. Is it possible? Sometimes I wonder. Most of the time, during the week, I feel like my life is chaos. There is laundry to do, grocery shopping, meals to plan, make, and oh yeah, clean up... there is a house to clean, a dog to walk, etc. The... read more→
Is your pre-schooler’s nap starting to unravel? Is it taking them longer and longer to fall asleep, or is their nap getting shorter and shorter in length? Are they singing, chatting, and getting up and down instead of sleeping? Or are they napping well on some days, but resisting bedtime and taking ages to fall asleep after lights out? If any of these scenarios sounds familiar, and if your... read more→
When my husband and I were expecting our second child, we pulled what I like to call the “mommy trifecta.” We left our city apartment for the 'burbs, I turned 30, and we purchased a minivan. Yes, I purchased a minivan. My mom always drove one when we were kids, and I thought I was too cool for it.
