Today I’ve been married for 2 years… which makes me completely unqualified to give marriage or relationship advice to pretty much anyone at all. Doesn’t stop me though. Here’s the thing. I have an imperfect marriage. Which I guess makes sense because Dan and I are both imperfect people. We fight, a lot. We sometimes [...]
I just went to an awesome conference on content marketing. It was called Content Marketing World, and it was hosted by the Content Marketing Institute, which is located in the amazing....wait for it....Cleveland, Ohio! I've never been to Cleveland before, and actually, it sucked way less than I thought it would based on that fact [...]
Before I had Mia I heard moms whining about leaving their one, two and even three years olds for the first time for a night and I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt the frontal lobe of my brain.COME. ON.The kid is three for pete's sake, get a grip.And then, like so many things [...]
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a non-toxic organic mom. I wish I was, sort of. But I only have so much energy to expend on a daily basis, and making sure my baby is fed, clothed and comfortable takes up about 90%. The other 10% goes to making enough money [...]
It's been about fifteen and a half seconds since we finished remodeling the upstairs bathroom in our new house, so naturally we've already found another project that requires ripping up floors and tearing down walls. I've come to the realization that we are going to be living "under construction" for the next 20 years rest of [...]
Today is Mia's first birthday, which is also the international day for "ask the parents when they're having the next baby." So I'm going to just get out ahead of it and let you know that it will be a cold day in hell before I have 2 children under 2 years old. So no. [...]
This post has a stupid title because babies don't sleep. Actually, babies sleep a lot, just not usually during nighttime hours. Scratch that. Babies sometimes sleep during nighttime hours. But only for a few minutes (hours?) at a time. Or when they are attached to a nipple or laying across your chest or with a couple of [...]
Today is the first Father's Day I've had two daddies to be thankful for. The one that gave me life, and the one that gave me Mia. It's a funny thing when you have a baby...like, the actual moment that they come out. Because you look down at your precious little miracle and you think you [...]
Every morning when I wake up Dan tells me he loves me. He tells me I'm smart, I'm beautiful, or that I'm a great mom. Not always all of them all together, but every day he tells me something that he loves about me. And not in a a way like the cashier at Hannaford [...]
Hello long lost blog. It's been almost a month since I had five seconds to visit you. The past few weeks have been so busy I haven't had time to post anything nevermind have an insightful thought 😉 Instead I've been cleaning, painting, nailing things into the wall, raking, working, traveling and chasing after a CRAWLING BABY!
