Chores… can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. We’ve tried a few different ways, but we just couldn’t get them to stick. Naturally, as a stay at home mom, the bulk of the cleaning gets done by me, but I had gotten myself into a rut where no one was pitching in in a systematic way, and it’s asking…

Hey there, Shorties 🙂 What’s with all this meditation crap, anyway??? I mean… who has the time? Who has the patience? What good does it even do? I know. Even though I’ve been doing this now for almost a year, I still feel this way a little. But like, yeah, it kind of is the ish. Here’s the thing: our…

Hey Ya! Been super consumed with life right now, to the point where pumping out sweet content for my blog has taken a bit of a backseat right now.

Hi, Shorties! Today I want to share with you my take on routines. Ah, routines- such a love/hate relationship. You need them, and kids do crave them, but they sure do resist them a lot, too.

One of our local Hannaford stores has “Hannaford To Go,” where you order everything on their website, choose a time to pick it up, and then… Then… It’s so glorious, I don’t know…

Being a Stay At Home mom is a gift. So many moms want to, but because of financial reasons, not everyone can. However, even though it’s a gift, in some ways it can be harder than working! There is a real value on having the stimulation of a work day- conversations with colleagues, working on projects, [hopefully] dealing with mature…

What’s going on party people! Welp, I alluded to some news about my job status in the spring. I was hoping to take another leave of absence to spend more time at home, but alas, it was not to be. So I was left with the choice of either resigning from my position or going back to work in September.…
