Before I start going into topics; I thought I should write down some realities that have set in. Anytime I've shared something truly honest, someone has reached out to say that they're in the same boat - and that's what this is all about. Going into the last couple months of pregnancy with Lennox I... Continue Reading →
10 steps to getting a toddler to sleep in their bed:
There are so many places to get advice right now. Many are contradicting, they seem straight forward, simple and sure to work. I've used this method for about 6 months now and it's going really well for me. Have any of you heard of it before? It's called reality. Start by drinking a glass of... Continue Reading →
mom, dad + 2.5 kids, right?
Everyone has drawn one of those 'picture perfect' families; you know the ones with a husband and a wife (both with smiles nonetheless), a boy and a girl child and then usually a dog as well. Everyone is holding hands in front of their house, the sun is shining and the perfect little stick figures... Continue Reading →

I don't share often about the reality of being a military family. It's something we sort of keep to ourselves, and really just continually go through the motions. But there's a lot of us; and I want to take some time to share the real life look of what it's like to be a military... Continue Reading →

But all of a sudden I've had these days where I text my husband and say "Yeah this child thing is cool, let's have another." Or... Continue Reading →
flying frenzy
Stop what you're doing and read this. Flying has to be the weirdest human normalcy. I know that's sort of ironic, something normal being weird. But millions of people fly everyday and yet every aspect of it is weird. Hear me out. 1- goodness forbid that you want to pay for your cab ride on... Continue Reading →
would you rather?
Would you rather suffer a man cold or have a baby dealing with their first daycare sickness? Or would you rather deal with both, and have both suspects refuse to do anything about said sickness. I choose both - I mean, why not? They all say "Go Big or Go Home" right? My little rascal... Continue Reading →
