Lately, I'm convinced my three-year-old is conducting an experiment to see how little a preschooler can eat and actually survive.
We recently had a four-day weekend, and by day four I couldn't even remember the last full meal she had...
We were home for just six hours before I was worried something wasn't right with him. Every time I would change his diaper, it would be dry. I honestly couldn’t even remember the last time he had peed. Was...
Dropping kids off at school, chauffeuring them to after-school activities, or just making a quick run to the grocery store—here in KC, almost all of us drive our kids around every day. And, let’s face it—too much time in...
Preschool to kindergarten is a tough transition. It means less sleep, less freedom and less family time. It also means more work, more rules and more distance between friends in different school districts. It’s a major change that is...
When I pitched this post idea, I was hoping that by the time it was written, we’d already be over the pacifier problem. Yet, here we are … in the throes of addiction.
My daughter’s pacifier relationship began on...
Summer is winding down, and the stores are full of crayons, glue sticks, and pencils. My second grader is grabbing the school list and checking it twice. My preschoolers can’t read a calendar, but they feel something in the...
"Motherhood is exactly what I expected it to be," said no one, ever. When I had my son Jona, I fully expected to be able to breastfeed him, for at least a year. Well, I didn't even last six...
I used to make fun of people who thought preschool graduation was a thing. I mean, what's the big deal? The era of being babysat while playing all day long is over. And that deserves a ceremony?
Well, after having...
Sleep is precious. And in my case, sleep is expensive! I cringe at the amount of money I have spent on various products that just might help my kid sleep. Keyword is might.
At 2:30 in the morning, I’m willing...

Where do I start? How do I properly thank someone for loving my children and treating them as your own?
I guess I should explain to our readers who you are...
One of my sons, has Celiac Disease, he has extreme reactions to small amounts of gluten (found in many grains like wheat, rye, and barley and processed foods). He has another food allergy, too. Bonus: he's 2 years old, so...
There have been countless times in my three years of mom-hood that I've felt completely under qualified for this position. Yet never have I thrown my hands up and said "I totally suck at this" as often as I...
I do not have a “Sasha Fierce” alter-ego. Personality tests consistently characterize me as a relating, supporting, loyal, trusting person. Sure, I am passionate and driven, but with a teddy bear style; soft and squishy. When I feel threatened...
In the spirit of Dr. Seuss, and with all sarcasm intended, “How lucky, how lucky, how lucky you are” that you decided to have babies between the months of April and August. Because many parents of 5-year-olds LOVE figuring...
You may have already heard of the "Property Laws of Toddlers." We learn life's parenting lessons one Cheerio/Lego/SOCK/day at a time. It started so innocently as the new year rolled in and we carefully chose our "words for 2017" to be Abundance...
