Did you know perimenopause can start as early as mid-30′s? Although that is the earliest age, most women start to noticing subtle changes that they are getting closer to The Big Change in their 40′s. I am 38 and I am already noticing things happening – I am becoming more irregular, my sleep has changed [...]
This was supposed to be a craft post. But for some reason, the last few days I’ve had less motivation than I should. Maybe it’s because the kids just got out of school and I’m overdue for a much needed “me” time. But whatever the reason is, It’s something you’re more than likely going to [...]
Honestly, I think I was a little more excited to start summer break than my girls, because it means having lazy days at home. Doesn’t not having to go anywhere or do anything, sound just delightful? Does to me. But, give it a week or two and I start hearing, “Mom, I’m bored.” What to [...]
From that first moment I knew I was pregnant, I started reading any pregnancy book I could get my hands on. Everything is so new, and not knowing what’s going to happen to your body scares the crap out me. Once I started creeping up on 36 weeks, I knew I had to be ready [...]
Today’s the last day of school. The last day my baby girl will be a Kindergartner, and it’s bittersweet. It feels like just yesterday she was learning how to walk across the living room, rather than learning how to read and write. She’s learned so much this past school year, and I’m so thankful to [...]
I’ve been catching up on season one of I’m Having Their Baby, along with the “I am Having Their Baby: Raising Baby” web series online. The show documents young women in all different types of situations- single, dating, and even married. These young women become pregnant, but then decide not to keep the baby, instead [...]
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Mom It Forward and BISSELL. They wanted to send me a new vacuum, and I couldn’t refuse. Home appliances are like toys to parents. Plus, they must have seen what my floors look like… As a stay-at-home mom, you take on the role of many. One of [...]
Originally published June 2010, and recently updated. How many times this summer will you hear these words? “Mom, I’m bored.” Quite a few I’m guessing. As a parent, I know that not only do we want our children to stay active physically during the summer, but we also want them to stay challenged mentally. One way [...]
It’s the final countdown! A week from now I’ll be singing, “Schools out…for the summer!” Some of you lucky dogs are already on summer vacation, or maybe not so lucky? We still have a week left of school and then it’s only two more weeks until it’s officially summer time. I’m so excited because we [...]
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been seeing a lot of other bloggers make summer bucket lists. Considering we have two and a half LONG months of nothing really planned (except a week long vacation), I thought it would be a good idea for us to do too. Of course I don’t think we’ll [...]
Moving here to Spokane six years ago had it’s up’s and down’s. One of my favorite parts of living here is the weather. Growing up in Seattle, it rains pretty much 300 days of the year. My friends and I grew up wearing jeans and sweatshirts, and umbrellas were for tourists. You were just used [...]
