Off to Preschool!

After a summer of fun, Henry is back to preschool! Henry could not be more opposite of his sister- where she is calm, he is wild. Where she is measured and responsible, he is free and at times, mischievous (although he owns this- he will misbehave and be completely honest that he did, which both…… Continue reading Off to Preschool!

The Highlight Reel

Last Friday was kind of a day for us. Not anything terrible, just typical life with a baby. She was a little clingy, and it seemed like every time I tried to put her down, she would cry. Not just wimper, but full out rail until I picked her up again. For the most part,…… Continue reading The Highlight Reel

Just Hang On a Minute

I just about lost it in the pharmacy drive through the other day. I mean, not really, but it was one of those mom moments where you just feel so frazzled because you’re not able to solve the problem at hand. Olivia was in the back seat in her car seat screaming. Just straight up…… Continue reading Just Hang On a Minute

It’s Okay to Be Called Pretty

I read an article a few months ago called “13 Things You Wish People Would Say to Your Daughter Instead of “Aren’t You Pretty?”.
