Every so often, a day arrives that takes you to a magical land. A land where the temperature soars into the 80′s but doesn’t feel unbearably hot. A land where the skies are a beautiful shade of aquamarine and the birds chirp in melodious cadence. A land where scraped knees are ignored in favor of [...]

A few other bloggers that I follow have been sharing what their kids are reading, so I thought I’d give it a go as well! I have a strange obsession with kids’ books, and it’s always fun for me to talk about/find new books for my girls to read. First up is Duck & Goose [...]

There are days when I am a frustrated, irritated, exhausted mother. There are days that make me question why anyone has kids or if I’m good enough to have the kids I have. But most days, I’m a confident, loving, firm yet gentle mother who has learned to be all of these things from my [...]

The first time I distinctly remember hearing the word “cancer” was in 2nd grade. We were learning about zodiac signs and I found out that my birthday falls at the beginning of the cancer cycle, making me a crab. I thought it was an ugly word, and I certainly didn’t like having to say, “I’m [...]
