A Day in The Life, Part 2
I was a teacher for seven years before my first baby was born. Once Meghan made me a mama, I became a stay-at-home mom. The first year and a half of her life was riddled with so many mixed emotions.

What I Ate Wednesday: New York City Edition
I spent last weekend in a wonderful, pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming kind of way. I went to New York City for a girls weekend! No kids. No husbands. Just three moms getting a chance to have fun and pretend our only responsibilities included shopping on 5th Avenue and having wine with lunch. I'll ...
