To any woman who has experienced a miscarriage: you are not alone. You have support. This is not your fault. You should be allowed to feel what you feel, and that feeling should not be shame.

Moms, This 2019, Be “Happy Better”
So, it’s that time of year. We’re all thinking of how we can be better in 2019. How can I be a better person? How can I have a better body? Eat better? Love better? Just BE better? What if we stop looking at ways to be better and just look at ways to be […]
No, I’m Not Disappointed We’re Having Another Girl
So, we’re pregnant! We’re having another girl! Emmie is so freaking excited to be a big sister…we think…she actually doesn’t really seem to get it, so we’re projecting excitement onto her. We just found out we’ll be having another daughter. We could not be more excited. Let me repeat: we could not be more excited. […]
Baddass Mom– My Life In Real Color
Alyssa Wheatley, blogger of My Life in Real Color, is one of the sassiest, most fun, and most caring people I’ve ever met (via FaceTime). Even though she’s faced personal struggles, her raw sense of humor and love of her child, husband, and literature (most of the time in that order) make her blog an […]
Mom Bod
I finally did it. I wore a two piece to swim lessons today. I thought I would feel self-conscious. When that didn’t come, I thought I would feel invincible. I guess I did a little bit, but what I really felt was something I hadn’t felt about my body for a long time– comfort. […]

Thank You For Being A Firecracker
You are a steam engine, running around tirelessly from the moment you awaken at 6:30 am to your midday too-short nap to your evening slumber. You beg us to go outside, rain or shine, even though you’ve already been three times that day, shouting “Ousside ousside ousside ousside” as you bang on the door. I […]
I See You, Mom in Airport
I have a vivacious 17 month old daughter. Her energy, enthusiasm, and endurance make her this incredible force to be reckoned with. She is observant and tenacious. While these traits make her the closest toddler I know to Wonder Woman, they are not mirrored by her exhausted parents. Thus, comes The Tale of Wonder Toddler […]
But Moms Can’t Make Mistakes!
This is hard for me to admit, but I made a mistake this week. I know, I know. Moms are supposed to be perfect. If we’re not perfect, we certainly shouldn’t be admitting to making mistakes. We should at least live in a world where moms can be perceived as perfect. Shockingly, I’m not. I’m […]
Little Land Play Gym Is Buda’s Kid Hot Spot
Hello, Austin, TX! I don’t usually write reviews of places I take my child, mostly because I haven’t fallen in love with any place enough to leave the rantings and ravings typical for this blog. I have to tell you, Little Land Play Gym Buda is an outstanding place for kids of all ages. Not only that, […]
