I think I can pinpoint the exact moment my nap time splurges began.
Oliver was just a few days old, and we were dealing with what appeared to be our first encounter with newborn gas. I had researched, read, and...
Dear Red Robin,
My kids love your burgers. My 7-year-old will eat a basket of your fries all by himself. He's skinny as a little rail, so I don't know where they go, but they can disappear within minutes. We...
April 21-27, 2019 is National Infertility Awareness Week.
This is my infertility story.
I had no inkling that I would struggle with infertility until we started trying to conceive in early 2011. After going off birth control my period was...

Exercise. Often it’s those that need it most that have the least time for it. And for those that do find the time, maintaining momentum and motivation proves just as difficult. It’s challenging for everyone, but even harder for...
Yet again, I find myself in the middle of a sleepless season (I have a history of this ... plenty of history, apparently). Just when I thought the newborn phase was behind us, I now have an eczema-and-teething baby...
As I often tell my offspring, life isn’t always fair, and it often doesn’t go the way we want/expect it to go.
To my kids, an unfair life looks like a lack of suitable snacks in the house, one sibling...
Good news, ladies. I am pretty sure I have found the ultimate mom life-hack. It magically provides a peaceful shower (taken alone), a moment to sip (hot) coffee in the morning and allows time to collect thoughts and prepare...
Pick up the toys, wash the dishes, restock the diaper bag, fold the clothes, pick up the toys again, fold the blankies and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. As moms, we're often the back-office support that helps makes our...
As the school year is winding down with year-end programs and making plans for the summer can be all consuming, it's time to take a night for yourself with girlfriends!

Topeka holds a special place in my heart as it is where my parents met (in an elevator!) and fell in love. My mom owned a small legal newspaper when I was a kid and we would take day...
There’s no doubt moms are much more involved in the digital world now than ever before, whether that be by choice or as a result of tech-obsessed kids. Right behind family, a smartphone or laptop is generally the thing...
A couple of days ago I had what some might call an "off day." I'd call it a total cluster of insanity! I was throwing together sandwiches and snacks for the kids to eat in the car on the...
Though my physical recovery the days following the birth of my third baby were much faster than my first two (spray bottle pro, here), learning to survive our new outnumbered reality was much harder. My husband took his first business trip just...
"Well, you know, even though we both work, we ALWAYS eat dinner as a family. No matter what!"
The other moms in the room murmured approvingly. I glanced down.
"We don't eat dinner together, and we're OK," I said.
I was greeted...
