Yes, I Bring My Kids to Beer Gardens
Sorry, not sorry, I also love Sunday afternoons with my family and sometimes that time is spent at a beer garden.
A Kid’s Christmas
Last year after my daughter’s third birthday party my grandmother told me, “You have a real kid’s house. You can tell they have a lot of fun here.” I know she meant this as a compliment so that’s how I took it. She meant that kids are welcomed here, that we are a happy house,… Read More A Kid’s Christmas
How to Have a Healthy Love Affair with Facebook
Social media. We can’t escape it. People with their nose in their phone, oblivious to the world around them are everywhere. Whether we like it or not, it’s a part of our lives.

Facebook Lessons
I admit it. I probably definitely spend more time on Facebook than I care to admit. But it’s so addictive. The pictures, who’s doing what, the town chatter, etc, etc. Yet, in using social media, there are tons of tiny lessons to be aware of.

Your Facebook Photos Make Me Want Another Kid
Before having my daughter (who is now almost 3) I thought I wanted multiple kids. I have 3 siblings myself and love that I have so many treasured childhood memories. My husband thought he wanted 2 kids so I figured we’d at least have that many. Not so much. My pregnancy was more difficult than… Read More Your Facebook Photos Make Me Want Another Kid
