Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
This post is sponsored by Joe Boxer and my long-time Christmas tradition. My husband and I don’t share a religious background but we do share a very playful sense of humor. It’s what makes us work. And let’s face it, I could never be with someone who didn’t enjoy a little mischievousness, during the holidays and all year […]
It’s been one year since our poor Mr. Jingles left us so tragically. A poor Elf on the shelf, gone way too soon. (For some people, but not for me.) We are gathered together today to pay tribute to one of the fallen, Mr. Jingles. He was very special to us and even though we […]
I’m teaming up with Boogie Wipes and Kandoo to spread the word about two great products – and to offer you a chance to win a $100 Walmart gift card! Whether you’re looking to fill stockings or just want to stock up for cold and flu season, these two products will have your kids begging […]
I’ll be honest with you. The title 20 things I would never figure out without my husband is not particularly accurate.

Yesterday my 1st grader didn’t have school and because he’s kicking butt this semester, I wanted to take him out for a special treat. We ended up seeing Big Hero 6. So great – best kid movie I’ve seen since Despicable Me. Except for the villain Yokai. I guarantee he’ll be responsible for me getting […]
It’s World Prematurity Awareness Day, so I’m sharing my story again. Spoiler alert: he’s almost 3 now. But our story is pretty crazy and I’ll never forget the journey. I hope you enjoy it too. This time last year, I was in exactly the same place I am today for Thanksgiving. Except I was about 4 […]
*post contains affiliate links I’m the mom of 2 precious, crazay little boys who take their mission to teach me patience very, very seriously.
