Easter. (Already?) ‘Tis the season to sit on the floor and chomp on Jelly Bellys all day with your daughters. Or dish up experiences on how to build a bird’s nest cake so that your family can think you’re more fabulous than the Easter Bunny. (How’s that for a fab mom moment?) But if you’re Christian: Happy…

Fairytale Parenting: Goodness is Unbreakable.
Where there is kindness, there is goodness… and where there is goodness, there is magic. Too sugary? Too sweet? Too bad. I’ve been swept away to Fantasyland and I’m not ashamed. I’m gonna write this like a real mom talking to my friends at preschool drop-off: Every parent needs to take their kids to see…
5 ways we keep love alive… DAILY.
Finally, you say. The post you’ve been waiting for. (Thanks, Valentine’s Day.) Do tell: How to keep love alive?!?

Or if it made you question choices. Or if it…

Santa confirmed it: No more babies.
This year’s visit to Santa confirmed something I think I’ve known for a while now but have not yet admitted to myself out loud. NO MORE BABIES at my house. I don’t mean: “I’m not having any more babies” (although I am NOT planning on it)… I rather mean: The little girls that live at…
Mickey Mouse, Holiday Magic & Major Therapy.
HOLIDAYS. Holi-DAZE. They started with me feeling emotional, tired and NOT VERY NICE. (Trust me, I’m about to slap myself for being so woe-is-me.) The flat tire that found me on our return from Thanksgiving weekend – with two sick toddlers in the backseat, in the middle of nowhere, all by myself – was the most…
