Ways my life has changed since having a second child

By

Everyone’s favorite momager said it best. “One kid is like one kid, two is like twenty.” I heard Kris Jenner say that on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians a few months ago and I didn’t pay it any mind until I actually had my second child. My son is 9 weeks and […]

Thankful Thursday

By

As usual with these types of posts I’m late to the party. I really should be better committed to writing them weekly because of course, I have so much to be thankful for. But, life for me is busy lately and any chance I stop for a moment I’m either picking up toys, cooking or […]

Lansinoh: Helping moms be successful at breastfeeding

By

The world of breastfeeding is a wonderful one, but definitely challenging. Any mom who has done it, knows it takes time and commitment, but the rewards are totally worth it. Breastfeeding this time around has been different for me for a number of reasons. When I had my daughter two years ago I had no […]

Get crafty, get organized with a family menu board

By

For those who know me, it’s no secret that I love to cook. My husband claims I’m a tornado in the kitchen, but I don’t know what he’s talking about. I have several staples for dinner or holidays that I repeatedly make, but I also love to try new recipes. I subscribe to multiple cooking […]

February is National Chocolate Month and I figured I’d share another recipe I made recently that will have any chocolate lover begging for more.

Double Chocolate and Reese’s Cup Cookies

In the words of PBS’ Daniel Tiger, “Making something is one way to say, I love you.” What sound advice from the world’s friendliest cat. This year, making something for Valentine’s Day seemed to be the only thing I could pull off with a 4 week old and a 2 1/2 year old. These days […]

Review: Picture Keeper, simple way to backup photos

By

For anyone who has children, pets or takes a lot of photos, you know how difficult it is to keep track of all of your pictures. I’m finding it especially hard these days since I use my iPhone often and my camera on special occasions. When I had Baby C one month ago, we took […]

He’s finally here! A huge welcome to my new baby boy

By

I must apologize in advance for dropping off the face of the planet for the past few weeks, I’ve been consumed by much more than a beautiful baby boy if you can believe it! Baby C was born on January 14 at 10:08 a.m., weighing in at 7 lbs 5 ounces and 20 inches. He […]

What’s in a name?

By

I am days away from having my baby and I can honestly say we have not chosen a name yet for him. Since finding out I was pregnant, the question “Have you chosen any names?” has been asked about 100 times. While people mean well, they literally don’t believe me when I say “Oh, not […]
