A Good Day

When you are a mom of a young child, some days are hard. But most days are awesome. Yesterday was one of those awesome days.

Doing it all

Doing it all

Sometimes I feel like I can do it all. I can take care of my baby, work full time, spend time with my husband, cook a healthy meal, clean my house, do all the laundry, and devote time to blogging. But let's be real....that hardly ever happens. That's not real life around here. Real life is barely managing to brush my teeth each day, hunting for the ... Read More

He wasn't ... Read More

A solution for my tired eyes…

 Do you have a skin care routine? Thanks to pale skin, genetics, and too many sleepless new-mom nights, I have some pretty dark circles under my eyes. I've tried to cover them up but no matter what I do, they are still there. Now that I'm 30 (yikes!) I need to take better care of my skin. Thankfully Mary, a rep for Rodan & Fields, the ...
