Some couples put there relationship before their kids and others put their kids first. We’re the latter. Adding little people to a twosome is HARD – especially when you suck at getting the little people on a definitive sleep schedule and you co-sleep… Danny and I are in the thick of it with the boys. … More Year 7
On the top of my mind these days is daycare/pre-school. There are a lot of factors to consider and I want to make sure I am preparing Lucas for kindergarten the best I can. With these thoughts swirling in my head in the middle of the night Saturday, I thought of a fun craft for … More Currently
Balance and boundaries. In addition to budgets those are my goals for 2019. There’s been plenty of talk about budgets on the blog and here’s for the other stuff. In an attempt to detox and improve my habits I have stopped using the computer and phone on Sundays. It’s been a breath of fresh air … More Cyberfree Sundays
A friend introduced me to a the #150HoursOutsideProject a challenge/support network for families who want to spend more time outside with their kids.

It’s hard to believe it’s already Thanksgiving! We’ll be with Danny’s family in the afternoon and my family in the evening. Some of his siblings will be there, others won’t. Same for my family. Some people who are out of town aren’t coming in and, unfortunately, some family I saw growing up I don’t see … More Our Family Traditions
When Danny and I first started dating I was at my lowest weight because I was too happy to eat. We saw each other every day for a year and texted good morning and good night without fail. These days we see each other every day but we almost never say good morning or … More Year 6
I took some time to decompress this weekend and it felt good. We stayed close to home for the most part and even though I didn’t check off nearly as much of my to-do list as I hope I did a little cleaning, got in some running and lots of quality time with my guys. … More A Memorable Weekend
Currently I would argue that in addition to love you also need high volumes of caffeine, sleep and a vacation (a staycation would do). I’m drowning in activity these days and failing at my main new year’s resolution…. it was a rainy day for last week’s flower party and I was more exhausted than chipper … More Currently
Life is busy. One day it won’t be so in the meantime I’m embracing the chaos and doing my best. We’re going to see the Avengers tomorrow and I can’t wait but totally can wait at the same time. I fear my beloved Captain America will die and I just can’t. MARVEL is my happy space … More Fast Four
