This post was sponsored by Finess and Soft Health Technologies LLC. All opinions (and gross stories about being a mom) are all mine. Being a mom is awesome. I mean…it’s also stressful and confusing and, at times, super disgusting. From the havoc pregnancy and childbirth wreak on our bodies to the really strange things we…
Two of my children are adopted from China. My husband and I made the commitment to try and keep their heritage alive for them through celebrating the Chinese (also known as Lunar) New Year. It’s a really fun holiday celebrated for two weeks usually beginning in late January…the dates will vary with the lunar calendar….
Happy New Year, friends! I’ve written a post about my 2018 blogging goals, mostly for the sake of accountability and organization. I don’t blog very much about blogging so if this is about as interesting to you as watching paint dry, I’ll direct you to my latest foodie post, or my adoption archives and hopefully,…
Creamy Instant Pot macaroni and cheese is my new favorite comfort food recipe. My kids have always preferred good, homemade macaroni and cheese over the boxed variety (I am so lucky, right?) and now I have a super fast, super easy dinner that everyone loves and eats without complaining. Always a win. But first, let…
I’m so excited and honored to announce that I’ll be headed to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration 2018 coming up in February. February…that’s practically next month. NEXT. MONTH. EEEP! That’s so soon! This is my second year being invited and my second year attending. For those of you who are looking for the secret…
It seems like New Year’s resolutions are so 2015, doesn’t it? Here we are just two days before we close the curtains on 2017 and instead of seeing my Facebook newsfeed flooded with resolutions, they are instead full of people announcing what their “one word” for the new year is. I don’t have a word…
When I was eleven, I came home from what we now call a play date in tears. No one was home except my grandfather. I was crying because another little girl had uttered lethal words in tween girl speak: lessons from my grandfather “I don’t want to be your friend anymore.” My grandfather was a gruff,…
If you’re anything like me, the two weeks leading up to Christmas were madness. I love getting ready for the holidays but the hustle and bustle of it all kind of gets the best of me sometimes. Do this. Go here. Buy that. Just when you think you might be making some headway, you’ll remember…
Lularoe debuts a cap-sleeved potato sack and names her Maria…and the Lularoe buy and sell groups have some feelings. I love Lularoe, y’all. I know…there is some serious cray-cray-crazy going on in the Lularoe buy, sell, trade groups…that’s BST for those who might not be fluent in Lula-speak. They may have gotten a bad rap…
I love traveling with my family. I caught the travel bug years ago and I think I’ve shared it with all of my children. Whether we jump in the car for a weekend away or board a plane that will cross oceans, I love experiencing something that’s just a little bit outside of our everyday….
