As a stay at home Mom with two little kids (an almost 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old), I know just how hard it is make time for yourself.  I have a hard time taking showers regularly (so gross, yet so true), so I’ll be the first to admit that finding time […]

Massage Heights :: Review & Giveaway

massage heights

Heaven. On. Earth. That’s what I just experienced at Massage Heights in Marin last week. Believe it or not, I just experienced my first ever custom facial. To be completely honest, I was a little nervous about the entire process. Since I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a “spa” person (something about being a stay-at-home-Mom with […]

On a Lighter Note, Life is REALLY Good

IMG_1486

Last week was rough (hence the reason I wrote this post and this post) and after a VERY fun weekend and a little more sleep (and three nights of tough yet successful sleep training), I wanted to share a few fun photos from the past couple days because while we’ve been going through a bit […]

Our Apartment is Shrinking

IMG_1197

I’m not big on complaining…especially when I know how good I have it. I have an amazing family, a hard-working and super-romantic husband, two beautiful, happy, and healthy daughters, and the list goes on…I have a great life. But today, I feel like changing things up, letting my guard down, and complaining a bit. Out […]

IMG_1130

Ahhhhh!!! Our littlest love is already 6 months old!?! Where the heck is the time going? The past month has been incredible. Mackenzie’s personality has only continued to blossom and her full body smile keeps getting more and more animated (which I didn’t know was possible). She and I went on a wonderful trip out […]

How to wean your toddler off a pacifier

November 2012 (almost 2 years old)

Let me start this out by saying that I’m no expert in the field of removing pacifiers. I’m simply a Mom who had a two year old who was OBSESSED with hers.  So obsessed, in fact, that part of me was convinced she’d head off to college with one hidden in her suitcase somewhere. When […]

Sometimes I wonder why I make the decisions I do when it comes to kids and traveling.  I’ve flown solo with an incredibly active 18 month old while 6+ months pregnant and shared a seat with her; I’ve traveled with a sick 2 month old and really sick 2 year old, simultaneously; and most recently, […]
