My toddler and I had a great thing going. We napped when we wanted (yes, we). We came and went as we pleased. I had a kid-friendly, work-from-anywhere business that I could do with him in tow. 18 plane rides by the time he was 2, and monthly 4ish hour car rides to see mom and family in DC – he was used to being on the go. We had fun. We loved the non-stop adventure. Thankfully, my husband was pret... Read More »
So my mother is one of the hardest people to shop for in the history of forever and wouldn’t you know it her birthday falls on mothers day this year! My sister and I always try to get her something that we really think she would like and brainstorm on jewelry, trips, or other gifts to make her cry (tears of joy of course that”s usually how you know it was a good gift lol).

We left our toddler at home with Nana and took our first “getaway” without him. I felt guilty for leaving him, but we had a great time! For what we did while in California, I would not recommend bringing a toddler, o... Read More »

Life feels rushed and overwhelming when I think about all the things I have to do like: eating healthy, workout, go to work, clean the house, run errands, get the laundry out of the dryer and then actually fold it etc… I am constantly hitting the ground r...

My sweet, sweet little girl….yea right!!! Her teachers and other moms always tell me what a sweet girl she is. I just laugh. I laugh, but want to cry. She isn’t like that with me!! What the hell? It is like she is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One minute, she is sweet and nice to me (usually when she wants something), then when she realizes she isn’t going to get what she wants, she starts...

You probably shouldn’t be reading this if you are against drinking or think that drinking a glass of wine around kids is bad parenting. By the way, if you do happen to feel this way, I highly disagree with you and think you probably need a glass of wine yourself. And, if you don’t even have kids but have an opinion about this, then you won’t even be heard, because you have NO id... Read More »
