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…
“Rules are not meant to be broken.” Blah blah blah. Before I had kids, I had my life all spelled out, including how I would be the perfect parent.

Last night I had a conversation about diversity with my 4 year-old son. My little guy was coloring and practicing writing his name when he mentioned that a child on his sports teams doesn’t speak. “He doesn’t have any words, Mommy. It’s kind of weird.” I immediately stopped what I was doing. I knelt beside him and began…
Do your kids need to stay busy? If your your house is anything like mine, you have 10 toy-boxes, filled to the brim, and your kids won’t play with anything in there! Who knows what treasures are even buried toward the bottom, we haven’t seen them in years! My kids seem much more interested in…
Grocery shopping has become the bane of my existence! From my kids asking for everything they see, to me gasping at my check-out bill, to us all lugging countless grocery bags into the house, this standing Saturday chore is anything but fun. My life changed when I discovered online grocery shopping and I wondered, why…
