Over the holidays I started to come out of this fuzzy haze of newborn bliss that starts to turn to a thick fog by the end of it. I adore the newborn phase; breathing them in, thinking about nothing else. A blank mind, in a fog where nothing else really matters. And then the fog […]
Alright, somehow it ended up that I didn’t have to cook for a whole month. Freezer meals, combined with meals brought in to me, combined with a little bit of eating out has made it so I have not had to cook. Until yesterday. Oh yesterday. Not a good day. So I sat down to […]
Have you read Is There Really a Human Race? by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell? You should. It has become one of my favorite children’s books. It talks about the “human race,” the point of our lives, why we do what we do and why we seem to be going as soon as we come out […]
I gain a lot of inspiration in photographs. They help me to remember that it is the “Everyday Things” that make life really beautiful. I am sure you have all heard of this book, A Year of Mornings. I have owned it since it came out. Two bloggers, 3191 miles apart, decided to each put a picture […]

Why I am glad I read this book? It gave me the justification and reasons to just chill out as a mother, for which I have to give myself a bit of props. I think I have come a long way but this book opened my eyes a bit more. The author urges you to […]
“Mama loo-oo-k I made a big mess,” my daughter informs me with a sly grin as I open her door to wake her from her nap. I was employed as a nanny for seven years before having two daughters of my own so I know all too well that children get pleasure from any reaction, […]
The winner of this giveaway is, Aunt Lolo who said, “Oh, I’d love to have this book! The thing I love about my mother is how very ORGANIZED she is. You can give her any series of events or requirements or tasks and she will order them, make a list, check it a few times, […]
Over the past few months I have received quite a few questions relating to motherhood. Asking how to stay inspired, how to stay grateful, how to stay happy, how to make sure you take care of yourself personally, how to ”provide yourself with meaningful, intellectual, stimulating activities while still being the world’s number one mom.” I wanted […]
