I think back to my marathon training days. The real race wasn’t the hardest part. It was actually when I started training with my husband. We had to get back into shape. It wasn’t always very fun or even motivating in the beginning. We weren’t as fast as we wanted to be running. Well, you don’t wake up one […]
What is in my parenting toolbox?
I should probably be sleeping now, but I need to get better at posting more often. Yes, I know that I have been flying solo all week with my hubby traveling, but I just felt like I needed to post something interesting. Why did I want a parenting tool box? Well, part of the reason I created this […]
1+1 > 2 (in parenting)
I think all parents come to this understanding once they have their second child. I love my dudes so much. They are the best gift my husband and I could ask for, and we love how they interact with each other (well, most of the time). Parenting tip #7 Balancing two kids can be challenging at first, but […]
SAHM or Working Mom, Both are Actually Work
Well, I think that I can now speak semi-intelligently about this topic since I have been a SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) for three months now. Wow, it’s been a full three months since I left my job.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great day. My day actually started off kind of crazy. Well, I am not a morning mom so it always kind of starts off in a bit of a haze, but back to my story. I had misplaced something. Yes, I say misplaced, because I was hopeful I would […]
Make it fun
If you are anything like me, you get wrapped up in trying to do things just right for the kids. I have realized that parenting is not all about finding the latest and greatest Pinterest pin with the most intricate craft. (Although if you do, more power to you.) Parenting Tip #2 Focus on fun, not perfection Today […]
Double Stroller Heaven
It has arrived! The Chicco Cortina Together double stroller. My hubby bid for it on EBay, and he won. It is brand new. I had looked on Craiglist, but I didn’t find one that would be compatible with our infant car seat. I think my world might be forever changed by this device. Parenting Tip #1 Don’t buy […]
