I can hardly believe my twin daughters are turning 10 this month. It blows my mind that my babies have grown so much (in fact my youngest “baby” is now 4), and that I have been parenting for a...
My son was diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten. I was one of those people who thought he would eventually grow out of it, because nothing was wrong with MY kid. It was only when I was able to accept...
I recently had the opportunity to take my baby to classes at The Little Gym. My little Bird joined the Saturday morning class for 10-19 month old babies and toddlers.

If you have never visited The Little Gym, there are...
I have to admit, I'm a little fanatical about Halloween. It's my favorite holiday (well ... it may tie with Christmas). It's a time when the dark, whimsical, and silly all blend together to create a perfect collaboration of enjoyment. There...
Any mom who has been in the car with a screaming baby and/or toddler trying to run errands can attest to the fact that in the moment you would gladly hand over your soul in exchange for someone else to...
A few years ago, I started seeing my friends - you know, those super-fit, always at the gym, gorgeous mom friends - running 5K's. While I admired their endurance and fitness, I really didn't think I'd ever be one...

Our dining room table holds our family of seven, where we eat five nights a week. It’s the only 45 minutes in our day when there’s no television, cell phones or gadgets ... it’s guaranteed time for all of...
It’s almost Halloween! Time for candy, cuteness, and of course, scary movies!
I am an attachment parent with all the hyphens and compound words that implies. We co-sleep. We breastfeed. We toddler-wear (because she’s a toddler now. UGH!). It works...
It wasn't an easy decision to move states away from my hometown -- my family, my friends, my life. But my husband and I were content to try something new and spread our wings. There were a lot of great...

I have anxiety.
I take anxiety medication each day to keep me feeling calm and "normal."
This is not something I share with others. It's embarrassing to admit. In fact, I can count on one...
As a full-time working mom of three small children, I am no stranger to chaos. Getting kids up and out of the door before traffic becomes slow as molasses, fitting in all I need to do for work and...
