Mother’s day: A time to think of and appreciate the invaluable role mothers play in our lives and in society, because let’s be real without moms life as we know it would cease to exist. You are the unsung warriors of everyday life. You do more than anyone could ever know and give more […]
Motherhood is wonderful, it really is, but rarely does it go as smoothly as diaper commercials so often portray. My life as a mother began almost 6 years ago and since then there have been many “UGHHHHHHH REALLY?!” moments. Some happen daily, some (thankfully) were one-off occurrences, but between nosey neighbors and being […]
My first pregnancy seemed to be fraught with issues. I developed an SCH (Subchorionic hematoma) just as I crossed the 13 week “safety” mark. Then after spending far too much time on my feet, I went into Pre-term labor in my fifth month of pregnancy. Which was when I received strict bed rest orders […]
Living in Texas, whenever we need a weekend away San Antonio is our go to destination. It’s drivable, there are things to do, and of course there is great food! I’ve been there with the whole family and I’ve also been there for a weekend away with just the hubs, and if I’ve learned […]
This actually isn’t the post I planned on writing tonight, but while looking through my phone photo albums for a travel post I accidentally stumbled across this absolutely awesome iPhone feature!

As the only girl in a household of 4, few things amaze me more than how quickly my boys can burn through a pair of jeans. My five year old comes home with holes in the knees, my husband manages to literally tear off pockets, and I HATE throwing away jeans that are still […]
Few parts of expecting my second child were as terrifying as anticipating how our less than one year old husky puppy would react to a new baby. You see, I fall firmly in the “dogs are family members” sect of pet owners. Sure I may not always like Moana’s behavior, like when she uses […]
My oldest is a July baby and that means in order to send home invites through school we have to celebrate early! So while this mama was getting a jumpstart on party planning, I was going through photos of his previous parties for ideas. I loved few of his parties as much as his […]
It’s that time of year again. The birds are singing, the bees are a buzzing, flowers are blooming, and mothers are tackling the feat of spring cleaning. In my house, at this time of year, some of the most used phrases are: “How did we get SO much stuff” “Where did this come from”” […]
