Dear Kids,
Mama thinks it's time that I tell you how I met Daddy. Brace yourselves because our story isn't the traditional "boy meets girl, they fall in love, have a huge wedding and then get married". Nope, I think...
A few days ago I received a gift. My five-year-old son, Caleb, fell asleep in the car. Woo Hoo! Because silence is golden. But wait. There's more.
When we arrived home I lifted his lankiness from the car seat expecting him...
Truth: I don't always like being a Mom. I'm thankful, blessed and so fortunate to be a mother. I adore my children and couldn't imagine my life without them. I'm so fortunate to be a mother, but still, I don't...
Like everyone I know, I’m busy. CRAZY busy. If I spy a few free minutes on my calendar, I feel compelled to squeeze in one more thing. I carry around a tote bag filled with things to do, just...
Curled up against my body in a soft white blanket, my baby girl is finally sleeping peacefully. It took rocking and singing and nursing and the pacifier that I thought we had successfully gotten rid of a month ago,...
What do people want most in relationships? Realness. Is that even a word? Well, it is today.
With all of the social media outlets in today’s world, it is no wonder people, women in general, have a complex about being...

I was a Room Mom once when my daughters were in...
How I wish I was able to attend a breastfeeding course before I gave birth to my first baby. But, it didn’t work out that way. She was a preemie. Born five weeks early and weighing a whopping 4...
Mom, mommy, madre – there are many terms for these extraordinary women and Mother’s Day is a special time to celebrate them. Winn-Dixie is helping families celebrate Moms by making it convenient to get all Mother’s Day essentials in one stop without...
My son volunteered to make Tres Leches for his 8th grade Spanish class. Don't you love it when they volunteer?! I decided that it was only proper that he do the MAJORITY of the cooking, and I must say... he's...
I have a love hate relationship with summer....mostly because it involves mosquitoes and something I dread most - second to the Ebola virus - it's bathing suit shopping.
It's pure torture and honestly, quite depressing. Sometimes I think I should just give up and wear a garbage bag...
It was the beginning of summer, 2014. I just had my third daughter, and I decided to do the unthinkable. I decided to keep all three of my girls home for the summer. No preschool, no daycare. I decided to...
