Dear Daughters,
Tonight we are starting to sleep train and I know you're going to hate it. You are soft, snuggly little sweethearts who would love to cuddle and nurse with me all night if I'd let you (and I...
As I write this post, I am the parent of an almost-kindergartener and an almost-2-year-old. In fact, my son will turn 2 on the same day my daughter will start school, and all these milestones are making me feel...
For many of us moms, it seems more feasible to get our shopping done online vs. getting the kids all in masks, trying to worry about making sure they aren't touching everything in the stores, etc. Our local team...
Every day I learn something new about my kids and I never want to forget how special they each are in their own ways. It's truly amazing how they can all grow under the same roof but have such...
I was having a rare no-kid lunch out with a friend recently. Her son is about a year younger than my son and I enjoy when we can meet up - with or without the kids. We chatted about...

When my daughter Rose was old enough to eat solid food, I did the usual. Started her on rice cereal, then oatmeal, and eventually pureed fruits and vegetables. She pretty much loved whatever we gave her when she was...
Let's get real for a second.
I am a mother with three children, children who are 5 and under. I know there are many of you that can probably relate. I am literally a Barbee girl living in a toddler’s...
As moms, we all know how elaborate kids can get with their excuses. I am no exception. My daughter, Rose, recently turned 4, and her excuses are getting better and better. Rather than laughing about them and then forgetting,...
To the one who made me a mama,
I don't know how it's possible, but you turned 5 this week. Half a decade has passed in the blink of an eye, and before I know it, your first year of...
It was like almost something magical happened after my son blew out the number 2 candle on his birthday cake for his second birthday. He wasn’t just a baby anymore, he was officially a toddler in my book.
And with...
