Everywhere I turn moms (and women in general) are living in a world of being overplanned, overworked and simply put- burnt out by all the things that supposedly bring them joy. So why does every conversation start like this… Hey! Haven’t seen you in awhile, how are you? “Oh I’m great! Soooooo busy with the […]

Finding the right church for my family is a lot like looking for a husband on Tinder. The saying “you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince” has never been more relatable. I thought that we’d find a church match on our first church blind date. And that is so not what […]
Work and Family There are days where it all becomes overwhelming, working full time, being a full-time mom and wife. I get pulled in so many directions. I want to have a successful job that helps provide for my family, but I also want to be the mom and wife that is present and available. […]
I don’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the line, I turned into a real sap. I think it was right around the time I gave birth to my first child… but who can say for sure? It has only gotten worse. Recently, I found myself crying over an America’s Got Talent audition. Now, […]

While we’ve been thrown into an uncertain and unknown world, home school is one thing I wish wouldn’t go away. It may be an unpopular view, but here’s […]
Let’s get real moms. We rarely put ourselves first. Priorities focus on our families, our careers, and our home life. We are on the go from the moment we wake up until our sleepy heads hit the pillow at night. We come second. When you go on an airplane, the stewardess shares how you should […]
If one more person says, “just stick to a schedule!”, I’m going to scream. We get it. This is wild, and scary, and different than anything we’ve ever experienced before. We’re all just trying to figure things out. Stay healthy. Take care of our families. Flatten the curve and teach our children. Work, and stay sane, […]
Here’s a label you don’t want to claim – Distracted Driver. But sadly, the majority of us are distracted drivers. Did you know that the month of April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month? Probably not. It doesn’t seem to get enough press. Although just two weeks ago I read about a guy in Tampa who bent down to […]
