  • Top FREE College Planning Resources

    I've been very vocal about my college search obsession for Z. Some people hire a professional university admissions consultant to guide them through the ins and outs of the process. Me? I’ve unofficially made it [...]

  • Freedom From Parenting Guilt

    Like most parents I fear that I fall short with my children. I worry that I don’t have what it takes as a mom and that I could possibly ruin my one shot at this child rearing [...]

  • Are Unexcused Absences Ever Excusable?

    I take school and academics very seriously, but I am not opposed to missing a day every once in a while even when the reasons aren't related to death or illness. Maybe you've seen some [...]

Meet Isabella

By |March 6, 2017|Categories: Hearing Aids, Hearing Loss, Special Needs|

  For SJ's birthday this year I thought it would be really special if she got an American Girl doll and and then we could take the doll to the American Girl Doll Hospital for hearing aids. The problem is I knew we couldn't afford an American Girl doll right now. Normally I would just buy second hand, but even then I couldn't find one anywhere [...]

First of all I would like to say thank you to JimmyCASE for giving me the chance to review this awesome iPhone SE wallet case. The JimmyCASE iPhone card holder is  ideal for a variety of situations. For dudes, it's super slim so it slips in and out of your pocket with ease. It can also eliminate the need for a bulky wallet, which means a lot less [...]

Sometimes it's scary to think of raising kids in the digital age that we live in. Terrorism, pornography, bullying, and so much more can creep into your home via the computer screen. It wasn't like that when most of us were kids, but on the bright side our kids have such an advantage over this past generation and I'll explain why. The internet wasn't [...]

9 Month Photos

I love photographing this chunky baby. After she was born I decided that I wanted to do an official photo shoot each month. These photos with the suitcase are her 9 month photos, but she turned 10 months this past Saturday. I had an outfit in mind (got it from a yard sale) but I needed a suitcase that I could use as a [...]

Cleaning House Book Review

A few weeks ago I got the book Cleaning House from the digital online library. I had no idea what to expect with this book, but about half way through I knew I had to share it with all of my mom friends! Side note, if you are a book lover and not using your local libraries online options then you really need [...]

Four Kids in a Grocery Store

By |August 12, 2016|Categories: Family, Laughter, Motherhood, Uncategorized|

Every once in a while I go somewhere with all four children and seamlessly accomplish the daily tasks at hand. That happens about as often as I find the perfect avocado and consume it at its peak ripeness. It is an anomaly. Last week I attempted grocery shopping with all four kids. I have done it before and managed okay, but I try to avoid [...]
