{Exclusive} A Father’s Day Post From The Young Daddy

I've been trying to get my husband to contribute a post for years now. And finally, finally, finally, he's written something for me to share. Yay! Check out and comment on The Young Daddy's (lol) first post: Tara has been trying to have me to write something for a LONG time! I told her that I would write something for Father’s Day. Hope that you all enjoy! The importance of a father or … [Continue reading...]

Jingle Bells, Ho, Ho, Ho, and All That Jazz

As a Thanksgiving baby, I get kind of peeved that Christmas gets all the shine. But even if I wasn't born around Turkey Day, November is my favorite month anyway. The weather gets a little cozier, but not outright frightful. Layering up (and covering that post-baby pooch that just won't go away) is encouraged, and did I mention the food? Fall food is so much better than summer food. I feel … [Continue reading...]

I'm browsing online in order to make a mad dash to the store tomorrow and I'm sharing … [Continue reading...]

Happy Holidays to you!

Hi lovely mamas, Today feels like kind of a "write a letter to the women who make you smile" kind of day, so I'm writing a letter to you in the hopes that I can make YOU smile. The past month or so has been filled with a crapload of change and transition for me. I've branched out and now I'm doing my own thing and I'm with my kids more and I've been scared and up and down and overwhelmed … [Continue reading...]

I’m thankful for you…and you…and you

Thanksgiving is hands-down my favorite day of the year. Even more than my birthday. Or my kids' birthdays. (Don't judge me.) It's a whole day dedicated to family, food and giving thanks and I can't think of a single thing that could be better. (Plus, Beyonce has a concert special on that night! Woo-hoo!!!) This year, I have a whole lot to be thankful for. I have two beautiful babies and a … [Continue reading...]

Lessons Learned from a Thanksgiving Pro

I don't mean to brag but I've been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family since like, forever. Well, since high school and I'm almost 25 so let's call that "forever," okay? Since I am a turkey baby (born at the end of November), Thanksgiving is ultra special to me. When I was younger it meant family members were always over my house on my birthday so even if they forgot I was turning one … [Continue reading...]
