The first year having a baby is an emotional roller coaster. My little guy and his needs have come before mine: my need to feel connected to my husband as deeply as we once were, my need to see family and friends and socialize as we once did, my need for new clothes even. Reflecting […]
If you’re a fan of my blog, you know I got a little kick out of the viral article that praised moms for being “enough” when I feel sassy, confident, and plenty on the daily. In fact, when I compare myself to hubs, I am even more confident that I’m kicking this whole mom thing […]
If you’re here, you’re probably who I once was: the parent of a newborn, searching the internet desperately for any opportunity to sleep through the night. As if suffering from sleep deprivation and being borderline-nervous breakdown aren’t enough, it seems like, every day, there’s a new scary article on baby sleep rules and regulations on […]

how long do I have before he starts judging me?
I know options vary by location SO I’m near Sarasota, Florida. My options are Walmart Grocery, Aldi, Publix, Winn Dixie, and that seems to be it (besides CVS and Family Dollar for select purchases). I’ve been shopping at Aldi and I’m such a pro that I can get like $48 worth of stuff and be […]
*one year ago today, pre-blog…* I needed a full day to recuperate and stop shaking before I could share my story.
