It wasn't until I had Cora that I finally understood why moms wanted to join play groups for kiddos. The opportunity to sit around with other moms and chat started sounding really appealing. Sure, I have mom friends that I can talk to, have wine with, but unfortunately most of my friends have older kiddos. They [...]

Summer 2016 Goals
It seems every summer we have had some sort of large project going. Preparing for our wedding, building a home, finishing the basement, being pregnant...the list goes on and on. This is the first summer we don't have anything huge going on and I'm looking forward to it. My Husband and I came up with [...]
Dating in Today’s World
My sister has recently taken up online dating. On Match, to be exact. She has been divorced for a while now, not caring to date but taking the time to piece herself and her life back together. The dating profile has been a rolling joke on wine night. Hey, let's set one up for you! [...]

Baby’s First Christmas
It looks like the holiday's are officially over here and the dead of winter is setting in. Last Sunday, I reluctantly took down the Christmas tree, the lights, the garland, and the nativity scene. I tucked away all five of baby's first Christmas ornaments along with baby's first Christmas stocking. As I carried it all [...]
39 Weeks- The End is Near
Last week I started my maternity leave from work. Starting it early was one of the smarter moves I have made. It was about that same time that I started not being able to sleep very well due to being so uncomfortable. I can tell you I have spent the majority of the time walking, hiking, doing yoga [...]
