Millennial Bad Reputation

Why Millennials Have a Bad Reputation

Millennials seem to have a bad rap. Many, especially baby boomers, tend to say they walk this planet with a sense of gotta-have-it-now entitlement and a lack of work ethic. They’ve also been referred to as lazy, addicted to social media, and carefree. But is this really the case, and if so, is it their fault? In my opinion, millennials didn’t really have a choice. They were born into a... Read More »

Instagram Hashtag WIRL Project

Be Careful How You Hashtag

  When I had Mason, I swore I wouldn’t be one of those moms who blasted social media with my baby’s photos. Even during my pregnancy, I’d share a “bump” photo every now and then, but tried to keep it to a minimum because, let’s face it, it can be annoying! So, when I had my new baby boy home with me and he was resting peacefully, I found myself taking a lot... Read More »

The C-Section: What It’s Really Like

Oh, a C-Section? I’ll take it! Most women think this is the “easier” route because you don’t have a push something the size of a bowling ball out your you-know-what, but I’m here to tell you a different story.

Organ Donation

Organ Donation

March is National Eye Donor Month! Do you check “yes” to organ donation when renewing your license? Why or why not? One day, when my kid sister was 16 and about to get her driver’s license, she was getting ready for school sitting in the bathroom sink, as we both always did. My mom asked her why she was deciding to be an organ donor. “We don’t need that stuff when we&... Read More »

Being a Work at Home Mom

If my 14 year old wouldn’t kill me, I would take a picture to show you what is happening right now in our house. But first, let’s rewind just a bit… Yesterday when I picked my daughter up from school she was coughing, her nose was running, and she had a sore throat.
