I was so ready for a new year, ready to tackle it, ready to kill it and take no prisoners. I was going to be a better planner, improve my time management, be more present, create a vision board. Yeah, a vision board. Well 2018, you can keep January. I’ve decided this is an eleven month year and I will officially be holding a re-start of 2018 on February 1st. Read More
Remember summer? When we could just pop on some sandals and walk out the door? Now, it’s 20 minutes to bundle up my almost 2-year-old for 10-degree weather, and I end up sweaty – go figure.

As they like to say, when it rains it pours. Here’s what has been happening since the last time we spoke. 1. Little Man Came Down with a Cold This was his first legit cold. So it was my first time dealing with a sick kiddo. There have been a couple of sleepless nights, including… Read More
