Now, before anyone comes throwing breast-shaped bricks through my window, hear me out. I am a firm believer in the #fedisbest movement. I don’t think it’s fair to shame mamas because their bodies can’t produce or because they simply choose not to breastfeed. To each is own. (I also JUST read an article that says formula […]
For the longest time, I didn’t understand anything about Hashimoto’s Disease. Sure, I knew many of the women on my dad’s side of the family had it, but my knowledge of the disease was limited to just a malfunctioning thyroid. You take some hormone supplements, and off you go. Wrong. I was so very, very […]
My oldest daughter — now a tween — starts middle school all too soon. This momma has been panicking! Not because of the endless list of school supplies, new school, new classes, boyfriends, and all the things that typically come along with the middle school drama. No — I panic because my daughter wants a […]
In those early days of motherhood be found each other. Its like I won the lottery, to find this random group of ladies that I actually wanted to be around. All of us bringing something different to the table until all the pieces fit together. We grew together and pushed through the hardest parts of […]

Like most families, we are busy. We try to limit the chaos, but it still manages to creep into our lives.

In talking with friends, it seems this is the norm […]
Last fall, I signed my two boys up for soccer. This was their first experience being on a sports team, and we were told that soccer was a great intro into the sports world for kids. Two weeks in, I quickly realized that one of my boys had absolutely zero interest in soccer . […]
Since I moved here from Switzerland eight months ago, people keep asking me about the main differences between my home country and the U.S. I have indeed discovered some obvious cultural divergences — especially in parenthood. I find this quite surprising. The U.S. and Switzerland both belong to the ‘Western culture.’ They share a heritage of social norms, ethical […]
From the beginning, my husband and I were in agreement about having three kids. We now have an almost four year old son, and our daughter just turned one. Needless to say, there is a lot going on at our house. So a third child is not such a sure thing anymore. But we are […]
12 days. That’s all the time I have left here in Nashville. The movers arrive in 8 days, so the hours I’m not at work will be spent preparing for yet another big change. It’s PCS season (Permanent Change of Station) for those who don’t speak the military lingo. “Permanent”. Ha! The longest I’ve lived […]
