Tiny Tot Tuesdays: Peplum At The Playground

Tiny Tot Tuesdays: Peplum At The Playground

If my daughter could have her way, she would wear dresses every single day! We took a trip to her new school so she could test out the playground before her big day. The dress doesn’t stop her from being rough and tough! We purchased this cute little peplum dress off the clearance rack for…

A Complete List Of The Times Men Are Usually Right

A Complete List Of The Times Men Are Usually Right

Men often say women never admit when we are wrong. It’s just not true! Whenever we are wrong, we do indeed admit to it and apologize. At least, most women I know do, including myself. It takes a lot to be the bigger person and many of us have no problem stepping up and admitting…

Moms: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Moms: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Oh, you don’t know? You aren’t alone. Do you feel silly asking yourself this elementary question as an adult? Don’t feel bad, a lot of us have asked ourselves the same thing. Do you feel like you’re in a career rut, a stagnant position, just straight up stuck? Really, what do you want to be…

Tiny Tot Tuesdays: Candy-Striped Sundress

What do you do with a little girl that loves her dresses? Fancy her in dresses! My daughter has always appreciated dresses and loves picking out new styles. Luckily, most of her ensembles are very affordable and don’t hurt mama’s pocket. This candy-striped sundress number was under $5 from our favorite place, H&M. She hand-picked…

8 Great Elements for a Non-Boring, Co-ed Baby Shower

Can we talk about baby showers for a sec? Because most of them are traditional, conservative and reserved. If this is your style, then cool! Not hating at all! But if you’re anything like me, you’re a sucker for pushing the envelope and breaking away from monotony. What if I told you that a baby…

What to Wear Wednesdays: Shower Sassy

What to Wear Wednesdays: Shower Sassy

This past weekend, I was honored to serve on my sister’s baby shower committee! Two babies, double trouble, double the sass. Now I love dress shopping, but I wanted to find the perfect number for this special occasion. I needed something that said elegant, sexy, sassy, and a little funky. This H&M dress said all…

Father’s Day Should Only Be About Fathers-Period.

Father’s Day Should Only Be About Fathers-Period.

Whenever Father’s Day rolls around I find myself appreciative, conflicted and then angry throughout the day (in that order) with all the mixed messages I see floating around social media and the innanet (aka messy internet). And this is the year I want to talk about it because it has become a giant elephant in…

Fathers Play A Critical Role In a Young Girl’s Life

Fathers Play A Critical Role In a Young Girl’s Life

Fathers play a critical role in shaping the thoughts and feelings of their daughters at a young age. In most cases, they are the first man that a young girl sees and trusts. It’s no surprise that she hangs onto his every word. More importantly, daughters pay close attention to how a father behaves and…

Fathers Are Parents, Not Babysitters. #NormalizeFatherhood

Fathers are not back-up, the help, or the assistant. In fact, they aren’t adjuncts in any shape or fashion. They are tenured parents with full-time roles and responsibilities, other duties as assigned, and no union rights available. Fathers are parents, not babysitters. And yet I often hear them referred to in these auxiliary roles, as…

Why Moms Should Date Their Mommy Friends

My mommy friends can wine and dine me, honey! We don’t get out often, can’t you tell? We’ve been drifting in this thing called motherhood for a while now, some of us longer than others, and we get a little too excited when we get to pop out on the town. Why? Because of life,…

  Mother’s Day, Party of One! Okay, this is a sweet little note for the fellas because I think you all need a little tweaking in this area. Now look, don’t be mad at me…I’m just the messenger! But every year, Mother’s Day rolls around and I listen to my mom friends whine and vent,…

I HATED Mornings; But Motherhood Made Me A Morning Person

I HATED Mornings; But Motherhood Made Me A Morning Person

I’m not a natural morning person. I wasn’t born loving this lifestyle. In fact, I used to hate mornings! When I was younger, mornings always meant I had to do something I didn’t want to do, be somewhere I didn’t want to be, or just perform in general. The world wanted too much from me…
