Take a moment to travel back in time, to...
I must have blinked, because at the end of the month we are celebrating my son’s fifth birthday.
One night over dinner, I was asking him what he would like to do for his birthday and what kind of decorations he wanted,...
For moms on the go, easy snacks are a lifesaver. Unfortunately, the easy snacks are not always the healthiest snacks. And if they're healthy -- like organic squeeze applesauce -- they can get costly at $.99 each. So, we...
I'm that nerd-of-a-mama who was purchasing books for my baby before my sweet girl even arrived. Crazy, yes, but I have a very special relationship with books, and I couldn't wait to introduce her to that relationship. Books are...
I cannot begin to tell you how many times the words "pee pee" and "poopy" have come out of my mouth in the last two months. They are now common words in our vocabulary and here's how we got...

Happy New Year! We spent most of 2013 waiting for the arrival of our second baby, who arrived just before 8 a.m. on Dec. 23. What a journey it was!
This labor was different in several ways from our first....
