It feels so good to be back on the blog after a “Christmas Break” these last couple weeks! Can you believe 2020 is now behind us and we’re a few days into 2021 already?? It’s CRAZY. I think it’s a good idea each January to reflect back on the year that’s just gone by. And […]
I think we can all agree that COVID sucks. But as I was driving away from Maverick’s daycare this morning, I had a thought: COVID has let me off the hook as a mom. Hear me out. I love my kids. I play blocks and Barbies even though I don’t want to. But mommin’ ain’t […]
For all of us, life lately has been full of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned the past few weeks , it’s that going outside saves sanity during social distancing. My kids haven’t left the house in three weeks, so they fight constantly. My almost 6 year old acts like a 2 year old half the time. My 2 year old bites, hits, and pinches […]
Welllll…WOW. It’s been a wild few weeks, hasn’t it? We’ve been lying low over here. Our kids haven’t left our neighborhood in probably two weeks or so, and we only go out to get groceries and to go to work. Anyway. I thought we’d talk about surviving social distancing and how to make it easier […]
