Celebrating My First Momiversary
We recently celebrated a big day in our household. Our baby girl turned one. I constantly wonder where time has gone.

Yesterday afternoon by brain was so fried that I put my two year old down for her nap without a diaper. Consequently, she woke up early with poop smeared in her leggings, yelling “Poopy!

While I absolutely LOVE treating myself to a cup of joe, …
This Should Be Your First Thought When You Take Your Kids Shopping
On average, I go shopping with my kids about 3 – 4 times a week. There are a couple reasons for this. First of all, TARGET. Need I say more? Second, my kids take up so much of the cart that I wouldn’t have room to get everything I need for the week in one …
