Healthcare providers –especially those who specialize in mental health – love to talk about self-care. “Don’t forget to make time for self-care!” “Self-care is important!” “You deserve self-care too!” These are all phrases I hear all of the time both from my own providers and from moms reporting back from their providers but I don’t…
Can we take a minute to talk about something that we all like to ignore? LAUNDRY… I know there are some unicorns out there (like my own mother) who actually enjoy doing laundry but if you are like me and most of my own mom friends – laundry is not your favorite chore. For me…
Where did the summer go? I feel like I blinked and suddenly it’s September. Similarly, I blinked and my firstborn son became a kindergartener. As you read this, he already has his two weeks of elementary school under his belt. As a teacher myself, I LOVE back to school. I will fully admit that shopping…
As moms, we all know how important friendship is. Not only do we want our children to have successful friendships, we – ourselves- also need strong friendships in our lives. Human beings were not meant to be alone. We were meant to live with one another and help each other –especially women who historically worked…

I feel like summer is forever associated in people’s minds with the beach. Although I love summer, I’m actually not the biggest beach lover. That…
For those who don’t know my background… when my husband and I were married, he was an active-duty soldier in the United States Army. He served in Iraq just before our wedding and then spent a year in Korea a little over a year later. When his original contract was fulfilled, my husband switched over…
Just this past week my firstborn son turned 5. It still feels strange to type that out. If you are reading this post on the day it publishes you will probably be reading it while I am attending his preschool graduation. I didn’t even know that preschool graduation was a thing! The past year and…
I was reading a magazine the other day and stumbled upon a piece that had asked readers to write in and tell the magazine about an event or moment that they wish they had a photo of but don’t. There were many different responses covering a wide variety of memories from a graduation ceremony to…
