An Exciting Mashup of Announcements

An Exciting Mashup of Announcements

It’s been a big exciting week and I have much to share with you all. I’m going to swirl it all together and pack it all into one post in an effort to keep your readers clutter free.
1. Let me just start by saying I’m in love with my new headshots! Bludoor Studios in Southlake, [...]

Our Perfectly Sweet Getaway To Wine Country

Our Perfectly Sweet Getaway To Wine Country

Time to relive our beautiful Sonoma vacation with a little vacay recap for you all!
We took off on Saturday, April 24th, flying Southwest because our bags flew free and because we just LOVE traveling all day in those gosh darn peppy airplanes, listening to a rendition of “Walk the Line” all about peanuts over the [...]

It’s a Vacation Miracle!

On our last day in Sonoma my mom informed me she and Kendall had a surprise for us when we got home. She’d got him to go pee AND poop in the big potty, MULTIPLE times. My son? The one who screams, “Ow! Momma, stuck!” every time I sit him on the toilet (big or [...]

Farewell to my motherland

Farewell to my motherland

1. Look at me, blogging from my phone in the airport!
2. I wouldn’t be blogging while still technically on vacation except my husband made us show up 3 hours early to the airport and, frankly, we’ve run out of things to talk about.
So… It was fantastic! And while I did miss Kendall a wee [...]

I’m a little obsessed with Big Love. Have you seen it? Oh, it’s so fabulous. Not fabulous enough to pay for an HBO subscription, but totally fabulous enough to pay for Netflix so we can devour a season at a time in one week. (Hmmm… and now I’m wondering when season 4 comes out. Hopefully [...]

Faking it

Faking it

Every now and then a friend will say something to me like, “How do you do it all?” or, even worse, refer to me as a “Supermom.” It’s totally mind boggling. It really is. I do NOT have it all together, I certainly don’t do even close to half of it, and I still haven’t [...]

Thank you, Tiny Prints, for helping me FAIL less.

Back before I had a baby I used to be the QUEEN of greeting cards. Hell, I actually worked at Hallmark right out of college as an assistant manager for close to a year. I was so on top of the card/gift game that I purchased them months in advance, for every little occasion I [...]

If you read one article this week, let it be “Fatal Distraction.”

I don’t have much time to really sit down and blog this week, but what I’m going to do is cheat a little right now.
****WARNING: You probably don’t want to read this at work or anywhere you don’t feel comfortable crying or have access to tissues.****
THIS article, this heartbreakingdestroying story of so many parent’s grief [...]

In case you were wondering, let me break it down for you.

In case you were wondering, let me break it down for you.

Kendall is 23 months old and I think I say “It’s not an ‘Uh oh’ if you did it on PURPOSE” about 10 times a day.

Sitting On The Breastfeeding Fence

Sitting On The Breastfeeding Fence

While I was busy yesterday urging others to fight hate and injustice, two of my best blogosphere friends Gina (thefeministbreeder.com) and Mandy (harpershappenings.com) were making waves on the subject of breastfeeding.
It seems I’ve always been in this in-between classification of “mom”. On the one hand, I can come off pretty crunchy. I cloth diaper, have [...]
