My style has evolved a lot over the past three years. When I just had Hudson, I worked full time out of the home and was pretty stylish (if I do say so myself).

There are a million things I want my ... Read More
Survival Guide for Eating Out with Kids
Eating out with my children is an adventure. And that's putting it nicely. Before we had children, Jon and I would eat out often. But now, it's basically never. When we had just one child we thought it was hard to eat out....but add two more in to the mix and it's pretty much a circus. We are outnumbered. And they know it. So today I thought I'd ...
