This past weekend we did some rearranging and winter cleaning in our house. While we were cleaning, we also switched a couple of rooms...our office and Logan's room. Logan was upgraded to the big boy room and he was very...
I was raised in a very authoritarian household. Not in a "spare the rod, spoil the child" kind of way, but in a "be polite, smile, and respect your elders" kind of way. This has served me well, especially...
How many times have you said no today? I am usually around double digits before I have even finished reheating my second cup of the coffee in the microwave…..for the third time. The reasons I say no tend to...
When I took our daughter Ellie to the pediatrician for her one-year-old check-up, the doctor asked me if I’d like to have her blood drawn to test her lead level. With the exception of the news articles I had...
Summer is upon us and that means family summer vacation time and the road trips that come with it! Long car rides often leave limited decisions for dining options. I enlisted the help of Whole Foods Market to support...
My son is almost two. If you've ever had a two year old you may cringe just reading that sentence. They don't call it the terrible two's for nothing and I've been learning that already. While it's great that...
The Dayton Moms Blog team is taking a content break from 7/3 - 7/7 for the holiday.

If you've met Emma you'd understand. You would probably laugh and need no further explanation. Emma is our wild child! But if you haven't, here...
Dear Momma,
This letter is to express the gratitude that is not always given. You do so much for everyone and find a way to ensure that everyone’s needs are met before your own. Not everyone could do your job,...
I am not a medical professional. I am the daughter of a nurse and an architect, so my medical background is a whole lot of "I've seen sick and you're not it" combined with super nice handwriting.
I have no...
I remember the lead up to law school like it was yesterday. There was so much excitement. My family and friends were all proud of me – they wanted to share in the excitement by giving me gifts of...
Fireworks, popsicles and watermelon! Oh my!!
Summer is in full swing, get out and take advantage of all there is to do in Dayton this July. After all, back to school is just around the corner...

Lately, all through my newsfeed, I have been seeing videos, posts, memes, etc. about moms needing to wear more appropriate bathing suits or the lack of "mom appropriate " swim attire. When I read these I feel like I'm...
