After an exhausting week running the girls all over, my husband arrived home yesterday from his IT conference in Orlando and boy, was I ever glad to see him!

I was one of the first of my friends to have children. People would ask me what to expect, I would laugh at them. You don’t prepare for motherhood, you survive. Those who have been through it know, yes, you love your kids. Do you want to knock their heads together sometimes? Yep. Do you… Continue reading How to Survive Motherhood and Try Out Dinner Recipes
You guys, I'm cold. Like, really cold. Like, can't feel my toes, wake up in the middle of the night because my nose is freezing and if I stuff it under the comforter I'll suffocate but I still consider doing it, cold.

Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year holiday is quickly approaching.

Tomorrow begins another work week, and the whirlwind of the previous 48 hours that made up my weekend sure feels like we could use a vacation, or at the very least a kid-free evening out without worrying about prepping for the next day at work. Before my husband and I were married with kids, we… Continue reading Family vs. Work; Can’t We Have Both?
