Dads show love to their children so differently than moms do and it’s everything they need. Usually our focus is on mothers and women, but that isn’t meant to ever devalue the fathers of the world. Fathers are amazing people and they should be celebrated. So in honor of Father’s Day we want to celebrateContinue reading “To The Dads”

Feeling Like A Failure Lately
Ironic isn’t it? I preach about stopping the self-doubt and how we’re not failures because no one’s perfect and we all have our days. Yet here I am feeling like a failure. Feeling like I’m not living up to the mom I know I can be. Feeling completely depleted and like I have nothing leftContinue reading “Feeling Like A Failure Lately”
Don’t Just Get Over It, Feel Every Bit Of It
Recently my son went through something he asked me not to talk about. Out of respect for him I won’t, but it sparked a conversation with multiple people. Some were saying to get over it and some weren’t. Me being me didn’t agree, but I feel like it’s something important to talk about so let’sContinue reading “Don’t Just Get Over It, Feel Every Bit Of It”
The Constantly Evolving Mama
While talking on the phone with a friend the other day I came to a realization. Our conversation was all over the place as they frequently are with mom friends.

For a while our house was the neighborhood hangout. All the kids were always coming over to see ifContinue reading “My House My Rules”
The Best Thing About Quarantine
As far as the quarantine goes, it wasn’t all that bad. I’m pretty much a homebody anyway, so not having to go anywhere was a relief. Sometimes I really, really dread going places. Not a fan of being told I can’t go anywhere though. I’m an adult, I can do what I want, at leastContinue reading “The Best Thing About Quarantine”
QuaranTea: Counting Down The Days
Here’s something I never thought I’d do….Count down the days until school’s out for summer. Only 8 days left as of now. Of course that could change. Distance learning isn’t bad once we got the hang of it, but I can’t wait to never do it again.
Things We Live By In Our House
Over the years the most valuable lessons my children have learned have come from life itself. Lessons learned because life presented us the opportunity to teach them, to implement them. Rarely has any of them been planned lessons. I think that’s the toughest part of parenting – thinking on your feet and teaching lessons asContinue reading “Things We Live By In Our House”
The Dad Superpower
Parents are great. They have the uncanny ability to multitask like a mad man, run on very little sleep, and pretty much do it all all the time. They’re great. Utilizing their superpowers for good, sometimes evil if you count sneaking a snack without the kids noticing evil.
