The faded second line was difficult to misinterpret: I was pregnant. I looked at my husband, who had the happiest, most sincere smile on his face… and I burst into tears. For most women, tears of joy are nothing out of the ordinary. But these tears were most definitely NOT happy. Here are some of …

I have three children: a 6 year old, 4 year old and an almost 5 month old. Usually by the third baby, you feel like an old pro, and know what’s in store with cluster feeding, growth spurts, changing poop color etc. One thing I had never experienced, and was not prepared for with this …

When the weather changes, my menu tends to change too. So, adios oatmeal, hello crepes with fresh fruit filling! This recipe is a staple in my sister’s kitchen.

During my third pregnancy I searched high and low for the perfect pair of …

It is starting to warm up here in the Northeast, and we are finally (FINALLY) heading into my beloved outdoor season! We have been cooped up for the majority of winter trying to avoid the dreaded stomach bugs and flu. Now it’s time to get outside and play! My kids love the playground, like all …

Do you know what an enema is? It’s basically a flush for your bum-hole. Its entire purpose is to drive the constipated crap out of your bowels by forcing water up in there when you aren’t able to excrete it yourself. It doesn’t sound pleasant at all, and it most definitely leaves you feeling unsexy …

Picky eaters have to be one of the biggest challenges of parenting. My gut instinct is to say, “Eat what I prepare or don’t eat,” right? However, I’ve learned that sometimes picky eating isn’t about a simple, willful refusal to try new or different foods. It can be anything from parent modeling, to a lack …

**I’d like to begin this post with an obvious disclaimer. As we know, all pregnancies are different and each mother has their own limits of tolerance with various symptoms. Talk to your doctor if you are feeling sick and for tips on how to survive morning sickness- they can help!** I am currently pregnant with …

My family has been impatiently waiting to see the new live-action Beauty and the Beast since we first heard about it forever ago! We weren’t able to go on opening weekend (ballet recital practices and performances), but we did get to go on day four of the release. Here’s our movie review! Oh, before I …
