Arts & Crafts Room

Arts & Crafts Room

First, I want to say that I turned this into a space for my children not to be able to say "go to the closet" ha. Seriously, I have worked really hard that we all call it the arts and crafts room now. With my youngest coming up on 18 months and my oldest going [...]

Laurenne’s Loss Story

Laurenne’s Loss Story

I think every woman has some experience with infant loss in some matter. Some, like myself, do not have the first-hand experience, but I think everyone knows someone who has gone through it. My dear friend Laurenne agreed to share her story on the blog today, she shares her experience with two losses 16 years apart.

Mocktails!

Mocktails!

I had a recent request from a newly pregnant mama for mocktails. My apologies for having all of these cocktails and none for the pregnant, nursing or those who just maybe want a non alcoholic drink! I pretty much hated all drinks including water during my pregnancies, so I sometimes forget others who want to [...]

At Home Mani

At Home Mani

I have been doing my own nails since high school. Occasionally I will splurge on manicure at a salon when I get a pedicure, but that is few and far between. This year I think I have only gotten one pedicure out, so getting pretty good at doing my toes too! An at home manicure [...]

Mom Bod

Mom Bod

Everyone has a different image that pops into their mind when they hear "mom bod". I will admit that I was scared of my body changing when I got pregnant and didn't know what to expect. I knew my body was going to do whatever it needed to do to grow my baby. I didn't [...]

1 to 2 Transition

1 to 2 Transition

So, the transition to two kids was not "easy" but honestly it was "easier" than zero to one kid for me. Let me explain... I thought I was super ready to have a baby, I had my first baby when I was 35. Both my husband and I were a little "older", we were well [...]

I Like Piña Coladas!

I Like Piña Coladas!

Piña Coladas used to be saved for tropical vacation. I am not really into sweet or frozen drinks for that matter. Plus I know how much sugar is in this drink, so I shy away, even if it sounds great. So I decided to create a healthier version! Plus this is a great (virgin) treat [...]

What’s in my Diaper Bag

What’s in my Diaper Bag

When I had my first baby, I had a HUGE diaper bag, and I brought everything with me and still felt like I always needed something else. By the time my second baby arrived, I got really really good at leaving the house with only the essentials (diapers and wipes), pending on the trip of [...]

Mommy Fog

Mommy Fog

Recently I had a few weeks, where I was just overwhelming exhausted all of the time. I just couldn't seem to snap out of it. It didn't help that the baby wasn't sleeping great and most nights I ended up on the couch with the dog. Oddly enough the baby sleeps better with my husband, [...]

Mommy Survival Tips

Mommy Survival Tips

With two babies, two years apart, I have picked up a few things along the way. Life is still a daily circus, but I can pretend to have some control over things. Don’t fold clothes-I folded the girls clothes until our oldest started to dress herself. In that processes she would mess up all the [...]

The time is now!

The time is now!

I have wanted to start a blog for at least 10 years. About 6 years ago, I remember being in New York for New Years and meeting a gal who was a food blogger. I was so envious of her! It not only sounded like the coolest job ever, but she really seemed to love [...]
