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. ‍♀️

TikTok… love it or hate it? I was firmly in the “hate it” camp—until my daughter pulled a fast one on me, using a TikTok persuasion trick to get herself a glass of orange juice at dinner. Turns out, TikTok might be teaching her more than I thought. This post is about how my 10-year-old schooled me with her negotiation skills—thanks to social media. Maybe TikTok isn’t all bad after all…

Ever wondered why women have to do all the primping to look good? Kristina sure has! In this quick and funny post, she explores the idea of flipping beauty standards on their head—what if men had to be the pretty ones, like peacocks? Grab a seat at her vanity as she navigates makeup, motherhood, and why life would be so much easier if Vince had to keep her interested.

Is cheerleading a sport? Kristina’s take might ruffle some pom-poms! With a blend of humor and reflection, she dives into her high school days, when she cheered on the sidelines but wasn’t convinced it qualified as a sport. Listen to find out why she thinks traditional cheer is more about entertainment than athletics—unless it’s competitive cheer, of course.
