As a mom who has just recently been relieved of dirty diaper duty, I figured we could talk potty training today. Full disclosure: My youngest is two and a half and just started pooping on the potty about a week ago. But he’s been peeing on the potty and wearing underwear for probably six weeks […]
We said goodbye to our beautiful golden retriever in the middle of the night this past Friday. It was scary, emotional, and we’re all still trying to process her death. I keep expecting to hear her coming down the hall to grab a drink of water or to go outside. Dear Maya, Less than a […]
In honor of this day, I thought we’d chat about little ways to show kindness to those in our lives. “Amazon Prime” a friend a good book you just read and think they’d enjoy too. Write someone a card and SNAIL MAIL it to them. (You never know how much they might need your […]
Have you ever been too afraid to ask for what you need? I know I have. Motherhood is tiring. Being a wife is tiring. And sometimes, I forget that I’m allowed to need help to get it all done. To survive. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. A couple weeks ago, we were […]
There’s so much I won’t miss about my kids being little. I won’t miss diaper changes and helping with the potty. I won’t miss someone needing something for the first 10 minutes of dinner every night, and the cold food that I end up with. I won’t miss someone constantly hanging all over me. But […]

I hope you’re cool with me being honest, because today, we’re going to talk about rest. For a couple months, I’ve been really, really tired. So tired that I rarely make it past 9 PM, and if I do, it’s til 9:30. And it’s not just the physical tiredness, it’s that I’ve been…emotionally tired too. […]

I love personal growth. I truly do. But if you had talked to me about personal growth a year and a half ago, I would have looked at you like you had 15 eyeballs. Up until that point, I was just living my life. I was decently happy, my marriage/kids/job were good, and I just […]
Back in October, I got my nose pierced. Yes, that’s right…a month before I turned 34, I did what 18 year olds do. 😉 Allow me to share some background on how this came up. Back in 10th grade, I played volleyball for 16.3 seconds. And the coach was this adorable blonde with, you guessed […]
