...finding perfection in imperfection daily.
This Sunday is my 12 year wedding anniversary, and to think it all began with a little kiss (and a scrunchie around my wrist). Aww, look at us, a couple of carefree kids crazy in love. We didn’t know how to be grown-ups, we didn’t know how to be parents, we didn’t know where life would take us. […]
[Image credit] I gave away the baby stuff, every last trace of it. It’s like I never had a baby (or two). Little BooBoo is nearly 3 years old and moving into the glorious and bittersweet age of self-sufficiency. I no longer have to carry a 50 pound diaper bag wherever I go, I’m back to […]
[Image credit] It’s July, do you know where your husband is? I know where mine is, he’s glued to the TV. It happens every July at exactly this time, the Tour de France. Many of you have husbands who enjoy sports and I’m willing to bet some of those husbands obsess over sports. I’ve got me […]
[Image Credit] Did you know this Father’s Day marks the 100th anniversary of celebrating dads on this special day? A thoughtful daughter came up with the idea while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. A year later she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, […]

Like a lot of Mommy Friends, I crave a peaceful home environment and we all know life with children isn’t exactly conducive to such cravings. I’ve said it a million times before, in my house there’s either laughter or tears with very little in between. I’m starting to wonder if “nice play” is a child […]
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but handmade gifts are a mom’s best friend. There is nothing as special as a handmade craft or picture made by your child. I cherish every handprint, footprint, macaroni necklace and glittery card made with smeared ink and misspelled words. The thoughtful care our children put into these […]
You’ve got a big butt and I cannot lie. Children are the most honest creatures you will ever meet. Let me preface that by saying children are the most honest creatures you will ever meet about the things that won’t get them in trouble…or at least the things they think won’t get them in trouble. […]
[Image:charhadas.com] If you’re expecting a baby, a babymoon is an idea well worth considering. Like a honeymoon, a babymoon is an opportunity to get out of town and enjoy your partner and kids (if you already have them) before you welcome your newest addition. Since traveling with a newborn is about as fun as a […]
Every once in a blue moon, if the stars are aligned and you are lucky enough to weasel your way into a babysitter, you get to have yourself a weekend getaway. Like date night, the weekend getaway is designed to give you and your partner a mini-vacay from your awesome kids and the opportunity for your babysitter to […]
