With a family of five it seems our schedules are always a hit or miss. I do my best to make sure that we all end up around the dinner table at the end of the day but in all honesty there are a few nights a week that are missing at least one of us. With our schedules life just gets busy and it's easy to get distracted. Going out gets expensive and picking up take out is too. I want home cooked … [Read more...]

Create Friendships on Moms.com
By
When I first became a mom I was the first of my friends to have a baby. I was young and I felt like I didn't have very many people around me that I could connect with. My mom found an online forum when we were looking for nursery ideas and sent me the link. By the time I had him I had connected with these moms and actually grew to rely on them. Fast forward thirteen years and two more babies … [Read more...]
I Choose Safe Babywearing #freedomtogether
By
I have a secret. I missed the memo on baby wearing. I had two babies and totally didn't even realize the option was there. Either I didn't see it or it just didn't stand out to me. No one mentioned it to me and I was none the wiser. Then I started blogging and I discovered the world I was missing out on as a mom. Gavin was already past the toddler age and while I was able to give it a try, he … [Read more...]

I'm a germ freak. Big time. I have to wash my hands after everything. I'm constantly taking a sponge around the kitchen and cleaning up crumbs and spills from the boys and when I touch the sponge I feel like washing my hands. Again. But wait?

Keeping my #GreatDog Healthy with Purina® Pro Plan® Fitness
By
I love my dog. He really is a great dog. I never thought I'd say that. I remember when we first got him and how much I fought getting him. Now, I can't imagine not having him. Charlie, our family dog, has been such a great addition. I really thought getting a puppy just a couple weeks before having a baby was going to be too much but it worked out really well. Charlie is a Morkie. If you haven't … [Read more...]

Breakfast is a big deal. It's been a huge transition for me in my weightloss journey to sit down and do this summer. Normally (and sometimes sadly still) I just get coffee and run around all morning and it isn't until mid afternoon that I'd be ravishing. This summer I practiced sitting down and taking 15 minutes to eat a healthy mean to jumpstart my day. It was so rewarding. But, in ways I … [Read more...]
