I’m the big sister in my family. Between my little sister and I: I had to hold the broken flower together at one of our many childhood photoshoots… I had an earlier curfew in high school… I got in trouble for stupid things (while she did not). Why does she get away with that? I’d…

FACETIME. Wife duties: How to get your husband to say yes. {VIDEO}
Going on a biz trip, road trip with girlfriends or just ditching out on regular life with your two daughters (to spend half-a-week at your parents’ house for out-of-town Grandma/Grandpa time) sometimes makes me feel bad for leaving my husband at home all by himself. Afterall, the guy would starve if I wasn’t here to…
FIND! Brighter.com: Tips for taking your toddler to the dentist.
I’m officially in dentist-mode at my house. Almost 3 years old, LadyP is at the official Dentist Age. I guess I’ve always have been in the mode though (given that my dad and uncle are both dentists).

Family Travel & Fun: Don’t think too much.
I’m a big proponent for thinking ahead, stopping while you’re ahead and preparing for things you don’t know you’ll need until you hit a spot when you need them (like keeping that bag of potato chips for 2 weeks in my trunk for no good reason… until my car battery died last week and those…
FIND! Tieks: Fab & sexy flats for fall.
Fall fashion, you are here! And I’m ready for new shoes. But I won’t sugar-coat it: I hate flats. HATE flats. So much that I’ve been known to wear high heels to toddlers’ birthday parties. (You think I’m kidding? I wish.) I am that idiot you see pushing a double-stroller in platforms. Can’t help it. I’m…
