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 […]
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 […]
We were running late. My threenager was in her room picking out an outfit for the day (aka playing with her pom poms and doll house) while I changed the baby’s diaper. I reminded her again that if she didn’t get dressed, mommy would start counting. (For this kid, mommy counting means the end of […]

Unfortunately, it only takes the general Internet populace about 30 […]

You know what the best thing about moving back to Nashville is? Rediscovering the city like it’s my first time here. Thousands of families will head down to the beach or Disney for Spring Break. I’m more than happy to kick back in my home city for a little Spring Break Nashville Staycation with my kids. […]
Growing up my mom always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by making green eggs and ham for breakfast. While we were consuming all those green eggs, she read the Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham to us. My favorite part? Near the end of the book when Sam convinces the other main character (why we were […]
Before I became a mom for the second time, I felt a little more prepared to welcome another baby. We survived once. Surely we could do it again. HAH!
