First Things First: I do not make any money off of the items discussed below. This post does not contain affiliate links. I am just pointing you to things our family enjoys! If your household is anything like mine, Christmas discussions come up all year round. It’s never too early for Harlyn to start planning […]
Maverick had his 15 month check up yesterday, and our little boy is absolutely perfect. He also totally lucked out, because with the hurricane, our peds office had moved their vaccines and they weren’t back in the office by the time we had our appointment. So, no shots today! Downside is that we have to […]
Years before “RBF” was a thing on the Internet, my sweet husband had coined a similar abbreviation of the phenomenon for me: CBF. Instead of Resting B Face, he used Chronic for the first word. I’ve long suffered from RBF/CBF. It took Brandon a longggg time to learn that I actually WAS NOT MAD. Thankfully, […]
Today, I want to talk about my kids’ relationship with each other. As any sibling knows, it’s complicated. My babies have a lot of fun together, and then…they don’t. And because I’ll blink and they’ll be teenagers, I want to remember these days where they’re giggling together one second, and biting and crying the next. […]
I recently asked the question on Instagram: What prevents you from working out? And basically…it boils down to not having the time and energy. AKA MOTHERHOOD. Listen, friends. I get it. I spent my pre-motherhood, after work hours at the gym. I went to a class 4-5 days a week most weeks, including Saturday mornings […]
Well, I wanted to share all the non-race parts of my trip to Michigan today, so get ready to be jealous of the 3 days I spent with NO KIDS! (I love my kids! I really do! I missed them lots. I missed my husband lots. But to be totally honest, it was super fun […]

The other day I texted my pregnant cousin. I sent her a picture of me with my kids, sitting on the couch watching TV and eating animal crackers at 3:15 PM. Harlyn’s hair still wasn’t done, and I hadn’t gotten around to brushing Maverick’s teeth or making Harlyn brush hers. While this isn’t totally typical […]
Lately I’ve been seeing birth stories pop up on mom blogs, and I decided that I would get on the bandwagon and get mine written. Obviously, Harlyn is four and Maverick is one, so I’m a little behind, but hey….#thisaveragemom Today, it’s all about my first baby Our sweet Harlyn arrived on April 24, 2014 […]
Well hey there! It feels like I’ve been gone a hundred years! We got back yesterday from our vacation and spent the afternoon trying to get life back in order. You know how it is…even though you left the house clean, the second you unpack the car, your house is a disaster again with all […]
