3 months in Omaha

Exactly three months ago, my family and I moved to Omaha, Nebraska. It has been a great experience so far. Omaha is a really cool city. Not sure how this much time has gone by, but I am not complaining. The weather has been really nice. Moving with two kids is stressful, but I will say that the […]

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. I really don’t like the terms SAHM or Working Mom because I feel that neither terms are correct. SAHM doesn’t mean […]

Social Media, best friend or worst enemy?

Social media. Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. Well, you can live without it, but you would be out of the “know” on a lot of things. Sometimes I really love it, but I can say it definitely gets to me at times. Last summer, I almost gave it up. My husband and I were house […]

To nap or not to nap? That is the question.

    Well, I never thought I would question where a nap would be a good idea or not. Sleep is always good, right? I mean, if your child will take a nap, you should let them? If someone told me to take a nap, I would take one without question. This was always my school of thought […]

When in doubt, check the garbage

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 […]

It Takes a Village

I understand this concept, but I don’t know exactly how to get my village started here in Omaha, Nebraska. I probably need to have more patience. I know my village doesn’t have to be all local, but I guess I didn’t realize how hard it can be not knowing people. I will keep working on it, but I […]

Home Sweet Home

Hard to believe it has been over two months since my family moved to Nebraska. It definitely has been an adventure moving with two kids. They really have been troopers, though. Change is tiring, but I think it has also been exciting. It has been stressful as well. I enjoy being home with my dudes, but I wish […]

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 […]
