Despite what you might be thinking the title of this blog post is implying, I can assure you that I am not planning to sell either one of my beloved children. Not today anyway. However, ask me again tomorrow and you may get a different answer (yes, of course I’m kidding). All jokes aside though,

As a fellow mom who loves her children dearly I can appreciate ones’ hesitation when it comes to traveling for work, especially when you’re a natural worrier like me. Will my girls leave the house without brushing their hair? Will my husband pack enough food for my daughter’s lunch and snack? Are we set with
Most of the New Year’s resolutions I’ve made in the past have had something to do with eating healthier and exercising more (or at all). With a new year comes a new opportunity to become an even better version of myself and I decided to focus on something a bit different this year – polishing my mommy tools.
I just completed my third 5k. Even now I’m both proud of, and pleasantly surprised at, myself. There was a time I honestly believed I would never be able to complete one race, never mind three (with the intention of completing even more races in the future).

Maybe sometimes you just have to hit your
Caroline, you have just started kindergarten. You’re officially a full-time student and learning so many new things already. Emma, you are now in your first year in preschool and you are absolutely loving it. I’m so proud of you both. You don’t even know it yet, but you have both begun a journey that will one day lead to your
Change is not always easy. It can also be complex – both scary and exciting, and it can certainly take you by surprise. I’m not always the best at dealing with change. I often think back to the circumstances surrounding the birth of my youngest daughter. I had a c-section with my first-born and was bound
My daughter had her first day of kindergarten last week. It went exactly how I had expected – smoothly and effortless. The only one with tears in their eyes was me (after I left my big girl in line with her new kindergarten friends and she couldn’t see me). From that day forward it was all sunshine,
