This afternoon was fun, but I’m also going to be real: It was a little tough. Even though it’s Sunday, Lebrean and I both had work to do, which left Davis demanding our attention for much of the day. Insert “mom guilt,” right? Well, not quite. I really try not to use the term “mom Read more

I gotta be real: I’ve been dreading today (Monday) for about a week. ⠀ Technically, I’ve had a break from my full-time job (Marketing & Media for a PK-8 school) since the end of May, but it hasn’t felt like it. And now here we are jumping right back in—a full day of calls and Read more

When the diner in the episode of ABC’s “What Would You Do?” said, “Being a mom is hard,” I’m willing to bet that any and every mom who was watching yelled, “Amen” at the television screen. The whole segment about Postpartum Depression/Anxiety was so touching. It’s interesting: 5 years into motherhood, I still find myself Read more

Davis insisted on going a different route on our walk, so we did, and we saw this in a neighbor’s yard. I love it! I love that it says “Love HAS no color” and not “Love SEES no color.” While the notion of being “color blind” sounds nice and that’s what many of us were Read more

We have a 5-year-old! Like so many parents, we were determined to make Davis’s birthday super special, since a traditional party wasn’t an option due to the pandemic. Admittedly, we went a little overboard with the presents. We started shopping online months ago, but it didn’t occur to me until a couple of weeks before Read more

Amidst the recent chaos in our world, my attention has been pretty laser focused on this little guy, blue teeth and all (thanks, Bruster’s Blue Pop sherbet). I find myself focusing on “the lasts” (this might be the last time he does this as a 4-year-old); marveling at how much more independent he’s become in Read more

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve become obsessed with fresh flowers in our home within the past few months. Here’s the newest bouquet on our kitchen table, but this week, they represent a breath of fresh air for me. I was so buried in work last week that our ENTIRE house was neglected. I should be Read more

Most of today looked like this, and it was so wonderful. We watched one of his favorite Netflix shows and cuddled while it rained. It was so perfect! Then at one point, late this afternoon, I completely lost my cool when Davis, failing to listen to my repeated instructions, knocked over a can of sparkling Read more

Today is not the ideal day for Davis to build forts (and request that I add the blanket roof when he’s done) on the bed while I’m working. I’m swamped, up to my eyeballs all week with work, and I’m exhausted. He requested—once again—to come into our room this morning…at 3:45 AM. I had just Read more

Looks so perfect, like we have it all figured out, huh? We don’t. I ordered this dry erase board a few weeks ago just for this time of quarantine. I needed something “fluid.” We tend to hit an afternoon lull on most days around 2:00, so this board is for those “big” projects/activities that can Read more
