Seriously. If you do nothing else, do this! We are right at a month into potty training our firstborn, and it’s honestly gone really well. I was nervous going into it, but Katherine caught on quickly and has done great. She still has “misses” periodically with it, but that’s totally to be expected. (I’m pretty …
It’s amazing how much you learn about someone after their passing. I remember watching Bob Saget host America’s Funniest Home Videos when I was growing up. And, of course, I’m a big fan of Full House. After his sudden death last month, I’ve watched and read a lot more about him and what his family …
We’ve taken the leap into the potty training world! The exciting, scary, overwhelming world of potty training. Although we’re potty training our first child, this is our second go-round at it. When Katherine was almost 2, I decided to give it a try. She was showing a lot of interest, and I thought it might …
Do you remember when the holidays used to be enjoyable at work? You had a few things to finish up, but otherwise, just coasted through the last few weeks of the year. Certainly, some departments had things a little busier, like if you were finalizing budgets. But it wasn’t too bad. You got to spend …
It’s that time again! Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner, and I think it’s safe to say we’re all ready to celebrate! (Certainly, we’re still having to make sure to celebrate safely during this pandemic. But there are more possibilities this year than last year!) That means it’s also time to select holiday …
Being on a Performance Improvement Plan is tough. And it can be difficult even if you’re in a positive dynamic where you (1) agree that you’re having issues and (2) have a boss who supports you and wants to help you succeed. (Of course, if either of those dynamics don’t apply to you, then it’s …
He’s here!!! Just 3 days after writing about my hospital bag packing list for baby #2, I was holding him in my arms! Joel Baker Mills, Jr., was born on September 4, 2021. We are overjoyed with this sweet baby and have been spending the last few weeks focusing on settling in as a family …
It’s almost GO time, which means it’s time to pack my hospital bag! I learned a lot the first time about what I did and didn’t need. Now that it’s time to pack for the second time, I’m putting into practice what I learned. One of the biggest things I learned is to pack light. …
We’ve seen a lot of headlines recently about mental health needs, including Naomi Osaka withdrawing from the French Open and Simone Biles not competing in some of the Tokyo Olympics gymnastics competitions. While these situations are shedding light on this very important topic, it can still be easy to think they only happen to other …
The baby countdown is on! We’re officially in the last month before our sweet boy arrives. Which also means it’s time to make sure we’re ready whenever he decides to arrive. Katherine was born a week before her due date, and I’m very interested to see whether baby boy will have the same schedule! Since …
