One mama's guide to doing it all...or at least looking fabulous while pretending!
I had a gym membership when I was in college and really liked it! I enjoyed taking the classes, having access to all the machines and equipment and having that motivation of seeing people working out. Well….then I graduated, started my career and had kids and all my free time left like the wind (along with my motivation and metabolism). I knew I always wanted to get back in there, but it hand’t really been in our budget or time {Read More}

Remember before you had kids, and you had all those dreams? Then remember actually having kids and all those dreams being dashed?? Yea, me too. Before you are a mom, you never truly realize how it’s going to be. Even if you were an older sibling or babysat or even was a teacher- you will NEVER know what it’s like being down in the trenches, butt deep in diapers, leaky boobs, crying toddlers and sassy 8 year olds until you {Read More}
All kids fight. Mine do, all of the time. Like every single day, no matter what. I honestly cannot ever remember a day when they didn’t fight about something. Sometimes it’s over something I can “get” and other times it’s over something completely ridiculous. Over the last week, I have taken note over some things my kids have fought over. All of these are real- they are not made up. Happy reading! 1. Someone touched them. 2. Someone looked at {Read More}
Did you know that every year an estimated 263,000 children under the age of 20 are diagnosed with childhood cancers worldwide? It is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the U.S. but less then 5% of the government’s funding for cancer research is dedicated only to childhood cancer. Pretty scary right? I have been blessed with healthy children and am thankful for that everyday, but I am no stranger to cancer {Read More}
Remember the good old days, when it was someones birthday at school and their mom or dad brought in a whole boat load of cupcakes with 2 inches of obviously colored frosting on the top?? Yes, those days are long gone. Most school have strict nutrition policies that limit what you can and cannot bring in for your child’s birthday treats to share with the class. Some school say you have to bring in prepackaged snacks but others still {Read More}

I have a lot of friends recently had their first baby and when I see them with them I flashback to all this years ago when I was a young new mom and all the hopes, dreams and aspirations I had and also all the fear, exhaustion and diluted views I had too. This got me thinking of things almost all new moms can be caught saying, at least at one time or another. And yes, I’m pretty sure I {Read More}
Congrats Jenni K (#8)! You were the winner of two coupons to try the new Starbucks Sorbet Pops! One of my very favorite candies has always been Starbursts.

Well, Starbursts have been transformed into something absolutely deliciously wonderful: Starburst Sorbet Pops. {Read More}

Today I wanted to share a neat book that’s trying to get enough funding to get started: Pre-Bot Learns Not to Hurt. I have had the opportunity to read the book and it has {Read More}
Do you have some Lego lovers at your house? I do. My son is always wanting new sets to play and build with and it can get quiet expensive if you were trying to keep up with their demands. If you have this problem too, I want to introduce you to your new best friend: Pley! Pley is kind of like old-school Netflix but for Legos. This ingenious service allows you to receive new Lego sets in the mail for {Read More}

My kids do not have a blog (thank goodness)…but if they did, I imagine they would have all sorts of helpful tips and tricks for other kids. I have thought long and hard, and have come up with a hilariously true list of my kids top ten blog posts that they would write- and I image they would be VERY popular among the 4-8 year old age range. Here are ten blog posts that I imagine my kids would write {Read More}
Do you know what today is?? It’s the first day of school for my kids!! We live in a district with a modified year round schedule, where we get 7 weeks in the summer off, 3 in the fall, 2 in the winter and 2 in the spring- which means we go back much earlier than most other schools- which is ok by me!! We have been off since mid May so my kids are ready for school and {Read More}
