So my husband has been traveling a lot lately. Mostly? I’m excited about this because it’s the result of a promotion that he worked hard to achieve. I’m incredibly proud of him, and I’m thankful for the benefits that outweigh the challenge of a traveling spouse. I truly aim to write this post with a grateful […]
Dear #FitMom, We have a problem, and we need to talk. We’ve been working out together for a while now. You’re in those leggings with the cool see-through streaks in them. I’m in the leggings with actual holes in them. You are kind. You say hi to the elderly woman on the treadmill. And you always […]
Nothing says relaxation like a day at the beach or pool with young kids, am I right? YEAH, RIGHT. Packing to bring kids anywhere can be a chore. And going to the water is no different. I’m here today to give you a few tips and tricks to make packing for the beach or pool […]
Summer is here! The season of testing and homework and signing papers and remembering to pack for field trips and dress like your favorite book character day and worrying about the class bully finally has ended. Freedom! At least for a couple of months . . . Now it’s time to stay up late and sleep […]
Father’s Day is coming. Although I love the fathers in my life dearly, it seems all of them either have everything they want, have no room for anything else, or are straight up picky. So here’s what my already stressed brain wants to do for Father’s Day gifts: nothing. Okay, not nothing. But I may just […]
Summer is my favorite season. It’s the season of ice cream treats, summer movies, summer camp, and some truly fantastic farmers markets in Nashville. I have always been a waterbug—a girl who should have been born much closer to the beach. I’ll take 90 degrees over 30 any day. But dang, it gets hot here. Recall last year’s eternal summer? When […]
WHEW, Nashville event season is in full-swing! Summertime is jam-packed with things to do in and around Music City! We try to keep these event guides to family friendly fare—although we do sneak in a wine or beer tasting now and then! We hope your summer is off to a great start! (Let us know […]
I hate when I play with my kid for six hours, then it turns out it’s only been 20 minutes. When I am at home, time drags. As a new mom—and hardcore introvert—my natural inclination is to stay at home. Lugging around a car seat, diaper bag, change of clothes, and baby food seems daunting. What […]
For me, food is seasonal, and this line of thinking drives my husband nuts. He can sit down and eat a pot roast or lasagna any day of the year – but when it’s hot outside, I want something summery and refreshing! This can make the make ahead meal a little challenging, as one does […]
If you have never had the *pleasure* of flying with young children, count your lucky stars. Being trapped in a small space with nowhere to go should a meltdown or fill-in-the-blank emergency occur, strikes fear in those of us who fly with kids. I’ve flown a lot with kids. I consider myself lucky that I […]
