There are a lot of articles and blog posts on the internet about motherhood, right? There is plenty written about the stress of parenting, about the different styles of parenting (Helicopter versus Free Range versus whatever else they’ve come up with this week), and about how to manage stress, time and picky eaters. But how…

Tis the season to be merry and enjoy your loved ones. Or…tis the season to get super stressed out and beat yourself up because you’re not doing all the things you think you should be doing and spend too much money. Meet my Christmas hacks for frazzled moms. These shortcuts (AKA mom hacks) might not…
While LightStream has compensated me for this post, all opinions are my own. The following isn’t intended to be financial or adoption advice. Debt gets a bad rap. We hear people talking about getting out of debt, avoiding debt, complaining or expressing fear about being in debt…all conversations that paint debt as something that shouldn’t…

Fatherhood is about love, not DNA. I mean…obviously. I’ve been talking a lot lately about the stories pictures don’t tell. And, while there’s definitely stories behind these pictures, I think I’ll just let these stand on their own today, although I have provided brief captions. Enjoy and happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father…
I wrote a post last week (or so) about how pictures tell as story…yet not. There’s always a story that the picture doesn’t tell. Maybe it’s because a picture only shows so much and the real story (or at least another layer or the story) is happening outside the frame. Maybe that was intentional or…
So…eco-friendly kitchen stuff. Here we are. I have never been what anyone would describe as crunchy or granola. As a matter of fact, most self-proclaimed crunchy granola people get on my nerves. There’s just something…I don’t know…sanctimonious about telling everyone how crunchy and granola you are. Now. I’m not a wasteful person who hates the…
