Chronicles of A Stay At Home Mom Who Is So Not That Mom
It’s been 6 days since my hysterectomy. Six long days. It’s been a roller coaster ride of emotions, but I suppose that’s par for the course. (You can read about my uterine journey here…as long as you’re not too squeamish.) Before my surgery I thought I had a pretty good handle on what to expect for recovery…. [Read More]
Today my youngest followed her big brothers off to school for the first time. After all the school shopping, pep-talks, and a million “I’m so excited for you!”s…today was finally the day. That bus pulled up and I watched all three of them climb on and ride away from me. I guess you never really… [Read More]
If all goes as planned, I’m only going to have two more periods. Ever. In my life. That’s because my uterus and I are breaking up. Yep. It’s official. I just scheduled my hysterectomy for mid-september. Over the past few years my uterus has put me through hell. I’m talking heavy, irregular periods with cramps… [Read More]

If you are like me and have no shame talking about all things vaginal, well…high five,… [Read More]
Have you heard of Us the Duo? They’re this adorable newly married couple who are rising to fame on Vine. Their new song, No Matter Where You Are is probably one of my favorite songs of the season…and just happens to make an awesome running song too. Bonus! Not gonna lie, I’m sort of obsessed with Ed Sheeran’s new… [Read More]
Here’s to the Moms who feel like they have no clue what they’re doing – every. single. day. Here’s to the Moms who haven’t had a good night’s sleep in years. Here’s to the Moms who love their kids so fiercely they would literally do anything for them. Here’s to the Moms who are always too busy… [Read More]
It’s teacher appreciation week! Don’t you love teachers? I do. (You know I used to be one, right?) Teachers have one of the hardest jobs on the planet. It feels wonderful to know my kids are in SUCH great hands when I send them off to school every day. Teachers are amazing! I… [Read More]
I am not a wine snob. But I appreciate the hell out of a good glass bottle of wine. (Seriously, find me a stressed out mom who doesn’t.) So you can imagine my excitement when I was given the opportunity to enjoy and review a new wine on the market, Anew Riesling – A refreshing wine for those seeking… [Read More]
