For almost 2 years I have lent my body to another. I endured weeks and weeks of morning/afternoon/night sickness as I developed a tiny little human. My body stretched and contorted to accommodate the growing little angel that was going to appear. Then 10 months later, my body readied itself for the ultimate moment... Continue Reading →
5am on February 11, 2016 was a miserable time. My sweet Emma was a little over a week old, and I was a dirty, overly tired, moody, hormonal zombie.

Let me give you some insight into my life. I'm a stay at home, white, 36 year old, middle class female living in Ohio. My husband is 37, works incredibly long hard hours, owns 2 businesses, we have a gorgeous 9 mo old daughter, and a cute little dog. I'm sure we sound boring &... Continue Reading →

There are a million random celebrated weeks/months/days thru the year, and so when I stumbled upon Worldwide Breastfeeding Week, I didn't really care. But, all of a sudden, it dawned on me that this is a very important week for a lot of people, myself included. There are so many untold breastfeeding stories, so many... Continue Reading →
Baby Girl, It's a dark, and violent world we are living in. I don't know at what point in life you will read these blogs, but I can only imagine things are going to get worse before they ever get better. I hope this is not the case, but it seems to be the way... Continue Reading →
You know what makes moms go crazy? No time to themselves! Being a full-time mom is such a blessing, and I am so grateful I no longer have to schlep from airport to airport and store to store, but dang it, I need some time alone! I guess I didn't really consider the fact that... Continue Reading →
The first thing I read this morning was that 50 people had been killed, and 53 had been injured by a shooter at a popular LGTB club in Orlando. I didn't have an overwhelming initial reaction because I've become quite numb to these news stories. It seems close to every election, every major decision-making time in... Continue Reading →
