Motherhood

Having stayed in vacation rentals several times in the last few years with my kid, I discovered some surprisingly helpful items.

It is our responsibility to help our kids navigate the world. Part of that is being open with them about his or her differences and inviting him or her to the table when finding best solutions.

Of all the decisions I made as a first-time mom, choosing a daycare was the toughest. I couldn't find a cheat sheet or checklist to guide me. So I made one!

Grab the kids and shopping bags and head out to one of these area farmers markets!

Any time we can learn a little bit about people who aren’t like us can only benefit in the long run.

The amount of work that lays before me just almost puts me in a state of shock, and I won't do anything until there is literally no more time to wait.

You know yourself and your kids best, so choose your village wisely. There will be amazing days and hard days.

I'm currently on the hunt for a smaller diaper bag that I love just as much but won't have me knocking into things all the time.

Sometimes we get so busy in our lives and our kids' lives we forget to touch base with friends. We mean to send texts but get distracted and never hit send. Perhaps a few years have passed and you...

Find something you like to do. Is it running, walking, lifting weights, biking, swimming?

We like people (well, most people). What we don't like is limelight, pressure to be someone we're not, or feeling overlooked.

Letting our strong-willed toddlers figure out things on their own provides the independence and control they crave.
