Tweet I took the girls ‘Up North’ over Mother’s Day weekend for a little three day getaway. Yes, my gift for Mother’s Day was having to get in swimsuit grooming condition so we could swim AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. That’s what you wanted for Mother’s Day too, right? Anyway, we had a blast…
Tweet I’m cheating a bit here as I’m just doing a final photo dump from our beach vacation. I’m always happy to be the one behind the camera on beach vacations as there will never be a picture of me in my swimsuit on the internets. If you think I actually had time to take…
Tweet My brother and I started flying alone on airplanes(because we don’t have wings) when we were eight. I still vividly remember that first flight we took and how my mom and step-dad walked us onto the plane and buckled our seat belts for us and then most likely they went out for a nice…

Tweet I quit my real day job 5 years ago today. I had a 15 year high stress, high flying, high travel, high hours, ego-boosting, high paying corporate job that I LOVED. LOVED. I ate, breathed, slept, dreamt, drank and LOVED almost every moment of it. Until I had a child. After said child, I…
Tweet As many of you know, I just spent 24 hours total in the car…alone..with my 3 kids. I am proud of myself for saying “you are making me crazy in my head” only 5 times to my kids during that precious time. And Astrid only cried for about 5 of those 24 hours. And…
