Empowering and encouraging young mothers from the moment they see their own two lines...
Everyday, it happens without fail. After loading the last dish from lunch in the dishwasher and running a dripping rag along the counter (which happens literally after I’ve finally finished cleaning the breakfast and mid-morning snack up. I’m not even kidding) I stand behind the island and stare at the kids on the other side. [...]
Yesterday Ada and I attended a kindergarten preparation meeting at one of the local schools. We are debating sending her to one of two local schools and this was my chance to have a peek inside, meet some of the teachers, and help me decide which school seems like the best fit for her. As [...]
Over the weekend, I had a pretty miserable time at work. There’s the doctor that I swear, when I’m around, 50,000 things seem to go wrong. The IV goes bad, we’re missing equipment, I trip and fall on my face. You get the drift. The sort of things that make me look like the suave, [...]
My birthday morning started out like a lot of my mornings. With one kid crying in his crib, the other complaining about a stomachache. Frazzled because they had somehow managed to get up before me, meaning I had lost my work time, I stumbled to the bathroom to hurriedly brush my teeth and run a [...]
Last night, I took a pregnancy test. It was negative. I cheered in the bathroom and Ben and I laughed giddily in the kitchen with relief.

If you have an idea for a non-fiction book, I have good news–with the right book proposal, you can actually get paid to write your book. Did you catch [...]
Back on track with my weekly meal planning. I do it every week and I’m hugely addicted, but I keep forgetting to record my recipes, so every week I’m scrambling to come up with new ones. Hopefully, by posting them here, I’ll have an easy reference to come to. And in two weeks, when I [...]
Friday night was Ada’s preschool graduation. And I handled it very well, if I do say so myself. After I barely held it together at the Christmas program and had a panic attack attending kindergarten round-up, I was a little fearful as to how I would handle the momentous occasion of my four-year-old traipsing down [...]
Just in time for Mother’s Day, Lacy from Living on Love is offering a gorgeous print that celebrates the beauty that is motherhood. But what I love even more than the beautiful remembrance for Mother’s Day? The fact that half of all of the profits from the prints are being donated to help the Edna [...]
Word on the street is, my book is done. And I can say is, phew. Not that it was incredibly stressful to write a book–I’m still pinching myself that I had the opportunity–and it was actually easier than I thought it would be, but I just felt like all of my mental energy and spare [...]
