[Image Credit] I always told myself that no matter how adorable or talented my kids grew to be, I would never become a card-carrying member of the Stage Mom Society.

[Image credit] Let me tell you a little story about Gary. Gary was my eldest son’s first pet and he was a Betta fish who lived alone. Apparently Betta fish have to live alone because they have this nasty little habit of killing each other, but that’s neither here nor there. My son loved Gary, […]

The title says it all. Every time my kids eat one of these: I eat one of these: Hello lover. No matter how hard I try to deny myself at the McDonald’s drive thru I ultimately succumb to temptation. See, I used to be a lot stronger…or more selfish, well, you decide. Back when my will […]

Look Ma, no makeup! The Beauty Bean (love them) has started a campaign called Makeup Free Mondays with the goal of inspiring appreciation for real and natural beauty.
