This Mom Life: 7 Things on my Mind
I'm not generally a stream of conscious kind of blogger. It must be the writer in me who thinks a published piece should be planned, revised, and edited before my readers get to see it. Eh. Sometimes you have to break the mold, jump out of your comfort zone, and go for it. Instead of radio ...
Happy 7th Birthday, Meghan
My baby girl, Meghan, is seven today. She'll always be my baby girl, even as she grows.Seven came quickly. You think people are just being cliche' when they say how fast your children's years will go by, but boy is it true. At seven, Meghan's favorite thing to do in the world is dance. She ...
What I Learned from my 6 Year Old About Conquering Fear
My daughter Meghan was a late bloomer in the water. As a toddler, she stood on the sidelines watching the other children splash and play in the water fountains, but didn't let herself get wet. If we did convince her to get wet in some water feature at a park, it was usually followed with tears. As ...
I Cheated on Stitch Fix with Trendsend

This Blogging Life
While we were on our vacation last week, someone asked me if I was a stay-at-home mom. My knee-jerk reaction was, "Yes." Later, though, I wondered about when I'd feel justified in saying I'm a work-at-home mom. If I had to estimate how much I work on this blog, I'd say I average 3-4 hours a day. ...

Just before we headed off to vacation my latest Stitch Fix box arrived on my doorstep. What a fun surprise to get just before leaving! Is there anything better than having a box of new clothes, picked for you by a personal stylist, shipped right to your door? I don't think so! I guess that's why ...
The Anatomy of a Healthy Road Trip
Ever since we moved to Ohio from Arizona six years ago, road tripping has been a part of our summers. We typically take one trip to Michigan to visit my family and one visit to the East Coast to visit Tim's family. We pack up the family truckster and take it to the road. Over the years we've ...
Stitch Fix Review: July 2015
Can you remember life before the Internet? I hardly can, but one thing I remember clearly is the catalog shopping days of my youth. Not only did I grow up before the invention of the Internet, I also grew up in a town so remote that the closest legit shopping mall was three hours away. Lots of my ...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Wrap Up & Spring Cleaning Checklists
Even though the calendar says there's a few weeks of spring left, in my mind summer begins when school is out. Since today is Meghan's last day of school, I feel like summer is officially beginning. I thought that would be the best time to wrap up my Spring Cleaning Challenge. I haven't updated ...
3 Important Things I Want My Daughter to Know About Her Body
All parents have their own unique parenting roles. One parent is good at something and fills the gaps where the other parent is lacking. Tim is the official Rough Houser in our family. He can play hard with the kids and has the strength the throw them around like I simply can't. One evening he ...
