My mom experiences and adventures raising two crazy peanuts.
When Reece picked "hearts" for his birthday party theme I was unsure to make it happen without looking like a Valentine party. With some creative thinking, it turned out really cute. You can't say no to a Love, Kindness, and Heart birthday party. Can't believe I have a 5 year old!
Sound the Octo-Alert! Kat turned 3!! See how we celebrated our underwater Octonauts birthday party.
There used to be a time when I was sad about the end of my solo time with my first baby. Now I feel bad I don't have more solo bonding time with my youngest. Is it just me, or is motherhood a constant seesaw?
Since becoming a parent, weekends are more stressful than weekdays. What gives? We need to take back our weekends, starting with the dreaded birthday parties.
When I started getting migraines my fitness took a major back seat. I wanted to reclaim my workouts. Group classes can be so loud which is can trigger a headache, but I've found ways to make it work so I can get my workout on!
Have you ever had to take care of your child or children with a cold? What about when you have the flu? Or a headache? Or maybe a migraine? They all suck. No one wants to do it, but you know there's a light at the end, the cold will fade and it will be back to business as usual soon enough. When you live in chronic pain though, you have to push through even if there's no light in sight.
It's the end of summer days. Bring on flu season!
Becoming a Mom can feel like you are starting at square one again when it comes to friendships. To make and maintain mom friendships you have to hustle in ways you never had to with your dating game. Schedules that don't align, rejections, and mom obligations all get in the way of connecting during a time we need it most.
Once school starts back up, Reece and I won't have as many solo days together. We decided a big mommy/son date was needed before summer ends. We spent a morning exploring Boston's Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
How have I been a mom for 4 years already?! To celebrate, Reece picked a Dr. Seuss theme. I had to get a little creative since there's not a lot of Dr. Seuss party supplies. Here's what I did.
