Easy Halloween Costumes That Don’t Look Like You Are
We’re coming down the home stretch, folks. Halloween is 10 days away – do you have a costume!?!? Don’t get desparate – I’m totally here to help you with some ideas for easy Halloween costumes that don’t look like you are. Easy. You know what I mean. Skimpy costumes have never been my thing –…

Games Babies Play – The Glasses Stealer Edition
I think one of the coolest things about babies is seeing their personality start to develop as they get a little older. Josh and I call it “joining the party”. I don’t know if all babies are into glasses, but Joy’s following in her big brother Phil’s phootsteps (you see what I did there?) and…

Just a Little Reminder That I Heart You
Even on the hardest of days, when we all feel like nothing is going right… Even on the most ridiculous days chock full of interruptions and madness, where it feels like we’re fighting an uphill battle and making zero headway whatsoever… I still love you, more than I can say, and this is all eighty…

It’s All About Perspective
There’s a lot of great things I’ve seen on the internet this week, but a stay at home mom’s piece on Babble trumped all for me. She wrote a great post about why being a stay at home mom was a luxury for her husband, and it smacked me right in my big stupid face.…

We Let Our Kids Cry It Out
I get a little tiny bit of flak every now and then for how attached at the shoulder Joy and I are, guys. I’m not talking like a lot of smack talk, but there’s tiny little comments. There’s not a lot I can do about it – she’s nursing, we’re together 24/7 in the office,…

The Little Things are the Best Things
Another year of the Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search has come and gone, and I’m happy to report I’m a loser. Don’t get me wrong – I would’ve loved, loved, LOVED to have made it to the next round, and eventually be picked to be the winner that receives 2 years of representation. It makes…

Mother of the Year: Teething Baby Edition
It was a ridiculous work day from the moment the kids and I got home from Fancy Coffee Friday yesterday. It seemed like I fought to work all day long. On top of the usual happy crashes and smashes from Phil as he played in the office, Joy just couldn’t seem to get it together.…

We’re All Struggling with Something
I connect more with the struggle that was revealed after Robin Williams’ death than I did with his comedy career. I was there in high school. I know it was high school – lots of teens get dramatic. Lots of them listen to Nine Inch Nails, or whatever band the depressed kids of today listen…

Marathon Days, and Why I’m a Bad Friend
I can’t be the only mom of littles that feels like the days are a marathon. I get up at 5:30am and go to bed around 10pm. Most days are a blur of meals, diapers, work, and chores. Breathing is a luxury. Lots of evenings are spent catching up on stuff I couldn’t get to…

There’s a Spider in My House and He’s Gonna Kill Me
For the last few weeks, every now and then I’ve seen this HUGE spider hanging out on our living room window. I mean, the sucker was big. With legs included, he was the size of the palm of my hand. I wasn’t all that afraid of him, because he was outside. Or so I thought.…

Why I Look So Tired Today: A Timeline
If anyone were to ask me why I look so tired today… There’s just not enough time to go into the whole story. So here it is in illustrated timeline form. Joy was having a bad teething day, so my plans to work after Kim went home from our Evernote party last night were pretty…
