I always say, if you aren’t yelling at your kids, you’re not spending enough time with them. – Reese Witherspoon
Look, I am not the perfect mom. We all fail sometimes, but parenting is not about being perfect. It’s about doing the best you can and what’s right for you family. These are the best days, and maybe some of the hardest, but the love and laughter, and watching that tiny human blossom, makes it all worthwhile.
I hear you, parents. It's tough at home, keeping the kids engaged with school, finding things for them to do so you can get some work done. Replacing their socialization time with ANYTHING that they aren't bored with in 2.2 seconds. I know it's hard and I hope I can...
Parents working from home while kids are virtual schooling can be a challenge. Ahem, understatement. If you have younger children, your work/school balance is likely very difficult to manage. You’re working ridiculously late at night, your video conferences are a...
The Women’s World Cup is underway, and what better way to cheer the team on than hosting a soccer party? If you’re a fan of soccer, or you have daughters or nieces that are counting down the days until the US team matches, here are some great ideas for a World Cup...
Good gosh, it took a long time to get that school year done with, yes? Now that summer officially here and the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France just around the corner, the conditions are perfect to go all in for soccer a go-go. If you have a soccer-crazy daughter like...
It’s dance season. And that means one thing: Terror for the new dance mom as she tries to navigate these unchartered waters. This is my third go around, and I was lucky enough to have been befriended by a veteran mom who shared a few tips with me before, (some after),...
As I get older, and as I become hyper aware that the Princess Cupcake is watching and learning about everything that comes out of and into my mouth. And that includes how much sugar I eat, what I say to other drivers on the road, and the hubs and I enjoying an adult...
THIS struck a nerve. It's just one of many viral posts out there. I am so over the haters in this world. Stop pointing fingers and judging how other Mom’s should parent already. Stop espousing about how enlightened you are now that you feel justified to ignore your...
I am not the perfect mom. Far from it. I know my shortcomings – I give in too easily. I don’t spend enough time working on homework with her. I complain in front of her. I text at red lights. This morning was one of those moments where your mom decision making...
Miley, Miley. My dearest Miley. I’ve tried to stay silent on this, but wow. What a performance that was at the VMA’s. The world is still abuzz about your provocative act. Although I’m not sure if “provocative” is really a suitable description, that’s likely an...
As I stood in the living room, my place in a make-shift receiving line to say my good-byes, my brain raced with what to say. The line wasn’t moving so I had some time. Everyone wanted to stretch those last precious moments with Cindy, so it was totally believable that...
It was cute when the Princess Cupcake started stealing my clothes as I was getting ready in the morning.Yeah, I could smooth the wrinkles after she pulled them out from under the pillows she was sitting on. Mostly. Then she got a little smarter and started taking just...
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day holiday weekend. 🙂 We made a mad-dash to Natchitoches (and of course we squeezed in some Natchitoches Meat Pies!) , Louisiana. And by “mad-dash” I mean we were there for all of 36 hours and are already on our way back...
So, we all know kids are weird, right. And funny. Who knows what is going on in their heads half the time. For sure a lot of what comes out their mouths is right out of left field. The funny things kids say can have me and my besties laughing our socks off when we...
We’re in mourning. Hermy, as we lovingly call our Voo Doo Purple Furby, will no longer wake up. We had no idea “Kah way-loh” would be his last words. (That’s “Me Sleepy” for you Furbiphobes) What I wouldn’t give to hear his giggly "Kah toh-loo oo-nye" (Me like you)...
I want you to meet my people. These are them, these are my soul sisters, my spirit animals, the companies I love.
