I recount the time I actually had time to myself during the day, away from my clingy 1-year old. Sure, my legs went numb, but those 10 minutes were glorious.

When nostalgia sucker-punches you in the moments you least expect it. I found myself holding back tears during my daughter’s optometrist appointment, of all places.

Sometimes the people who change your life are the ones who never even knew they were auditioning for the part.

Is my toddler a musical prodigy or are my standards just that low? Watching Evie sing along in the bath, I couldn’t help but wonder. Parenthood definitely has a way of making even the smallest moments feel genius… or maybe I just need more adult friends.

Our Christmas plans took a surprising turn when a farm became our holiday adventure! From petting pigs to harvesting veggies, we found peace in the dirt and sun, trading screen time for real life.

I grew up with one Big Christmas. Just one. And it’s been haunting me ever since, shaping the way I approach Christmas with my kids. Do I overdo it? Is this year their last Big Christmas? Welcome to my annual holiday mind-wrestle where childhood scarcity meets modern-day parenting… but this year, I’m letting go of that fear and just embracing the joy.

We don’t do date nights. Not because we’re too cool for them, but because, well, life. But after 20 years and 3 kids, we tried it out: dinner, axe throwing, and not talking about the kids for once. Spoiler: we survived.

Why does school sometimes feel like a creativity-killer? When my daughter Scarlett came home upset because her teacher criticized her unique writing style in front of the class, I was furious. Why do we box kids in and force them to conform? Let’s talk about how rigid standards can squash creativity and why we need more room for imagination in our classrooms.

Are you a parent who sometimes feels like you’re barely holding it together? Same here. In my latest post, I’m sharing my “Mother of the Year” moments—the times I definitely didn’t nail the whole parenting thing. From letting my kid eat hand sanitizer to approving a show I should’ve said no to (yep, it happened), this is the real, messy side of motherhood. If you’ve ever had a #momfail, trust me, you’re not alone. Let’s embrace the chaos together. ‍♀️
