Before kids, I really enjoyed cooking. Now? It is one of my least favorite parts of the day. With two young kids close in age, I often times feel like I don’t have the time or patience to whip up something healthy and good to eat. I unapologetically admit that my kids eat their share […]

This list will help you figure out what you need—and where you can get it (even at the last minute). School and Sports Physicals New to […]
Remember when you first brought baby home from the hospital? He was so tiny, so helpless, so very vulnerable to all the ills of this world. You made guests wash their hands before they got nursery clearance and you hosed down the shopping cart with Purell every damn time you went to the store. In […]
Before I had children, I was legitimately concerned with how they would affect my sleep. Sleep — the activity I loved most in the world. I’ve long struggled with leaving my bed in the mornings.

As part of National Women’s Health Week, it’s important that we bring awareness to and destigmatize a serious women’s health […]
I don’t like to talk about this stuff. I’ve written posts like this a hundred times over the years—but I never hit publish. But let’s rip off the bandaid and chat anyway, shall we? Parenting is hard at all levels and in all stages. Sometimes we do hard things because they are hard. The rewards are worth it. Parenting is like that. […]
Dear 20-Year-Old Self, There are so many things I want to tell you as I sit here nearly a decade down the road. First of all, one day you will literally snort out loud when you remember how hard you were trying to lose three pounds at age 20. Three pounds. You’re one stomach flu […]
