I hate open letters so I will gladly personalize this and send it to any known offenders.

Dear parents with the sick kid at preschool, Hello. It’s me. Your overly tired, on-edge, worst nightmare. No, I’m not being dramatic. After you feel my wrath you will know that I am exactly as I claim to be. I will haunt you. When my kid is up at 2 am throwing up his dinner, …

Don’t stop until we stop this.

I don't want to write this.  I don't want to say anything about this or acknowledge that it is even a thing that happened or is happening.. but I have to.  It is my responsibility as a mother, a citizen, a person...a human. Yesterday we had another mass shooting in America.  A troubled teenager walked …

Wegreeco Reusable Pads: Review!

Hello friends.  I've decided to extend my obvious talents (bahahah) into the youtube world.  I recently made a purchase for reusable pads...

Our FPIES life

Unless you live in a bubble, you're probably aware of the fact that allergies are on the rise.  I feel like I didn't know very many kids with peanut allergies, etc. when I was a kid.  Now, at my son's school there is a "contains peanuts" container for lunch boxes and a "peanut-free" container.  Allergies …

It’s time for TingTing!

Guys, congratulations! I am about to expose you to something pretty fantastic hahah.  Okay, so, I don't know if you're like me- but I've tried multiple times to expose my son and daughter to other cultures, languages, etc.  I want them to know more than I did (and do!)  I also believe they should start learning …

Quick Tip Tuesday: Video baby monitor

When I got pregnant with my first child I wouldn't accept anything less than a video baby monitor! I know, I know... many people have been fine with audio monitors but I felt it necessary to have a video monitor.  Funds were tight... so I got a a Levana monitor from Groupon.  It worked pretty …
