“We’re moving in four days. Not a single box packed. I took an epic nap of denial today. So there’s that.” –@oiler02 Christmas is less than a week away, which means I should be vibrating with holiday cheer and magic — but instead I’ve become incredibly familiar with the epic nap of denial. Today IContinue reading “epic naps of denial (sponsored by hallmark)”

Let’s talk gratitude, and not the ‘what we all have to be thankful for’ gratitude but the really deep-down-in-your-bones gratitude. The kind of gratitude that not everyone relates to, the gratitude that can seem a little weird and out of place at times. The kind of things you think to yourself but rarely, if ever,Continue reading “remarkable gratitude (sponsored by hallmark)”

In what I figured would be a stroke of brilliance I decided to bring a smaller laptop that doubles as a tablet with me on my latest adventure. Travel light! Multitasking technology! It’s a PC. I normally work on a Mac. We’re learning how to get along but it’s bumpy, PC knows none of myContinue reading “business class bunny naps.”

A few weeks ago I took Vivi to an apple orchard for the afternoon. We got apple slushees, apple donuts and a big bag of freshly picked honeycrisps to make a pie. As we sat outside in the sun I was hit with this overwhelming sense of loneliness. There was a group of moms sittingContinue reading ““i don’t know what it will look like, but i know what it will feel like””

Holy whoa. If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll know I’ve had a crazy busy October already, I started out in Ohio for the I Heart Faces conference which was the perfect little inspirational kick in the pants I needed to keep poking along with photography. From Ohio I flew to NYC then droveContinue reading “painting frog toenails.”

Hey. So I’m never going to pretend that I know what I’m doing when it comes to home decor. Because I don’t. The interior design gene skipped right over me, which is why I don’t have a headboard, I still use the dining table Cody grew up with, I have bachelor pad furniture in myContinue reading “and then I made my house grow up (sponsored by kohl’s)”

The first conference I ever went to I bought an entirely new wardrobe, head to toe. I had my hair done, I bought new shoes and I probably even went on a diet. I worried what everyone thought of me and was desperate to have all the people like me. I’ve gone to other conferencesContinue reading “sweat pants comfortable with myself.”

Vivi follows Addie around at gymnastics and whenever she has a clear view of her, she shouts “HI, ADDIE!”  She’s a terrible distraction. FALL IS COMING. FALL IS COMING! I’ve already worn boots, sweaters AND my favorite leather jacket. BRING IT ON FALL. BOOTS FOR ALL!! Over on Babble: 5 ways you may be hurtingContinue reading “septembabbler.”

A special thanks to Plum Kids for sponsoring this post. There may constantly and forever be a special bag tucked away in my car with kid essentials for as long as I have them (kids, not bags or cars) around. Right now each kid has their own, Vivi’s is full of diapers, snacks and toysContinue reading “plum kids giveaway (a super good one!)”

I want to come here and furiously write some brilliant combination of words that will make your head twirl. But that’s not going to happen. I’ve been lurking online a lot lately, peeking in on your lives, reading the ‘viral’ articles that either rally people together or split friends right down the middle. Then there’sContinue reading “just in case I had you fooled.”
