This year I hit the 4-year mark! I’ve officially been a stay-at-home mom for 4 years. In some ways, it does feel like it. My former HR career feels like it was a long time ago. But in other ways, of course, the years feel like just a blink. Maybe the years really are short …

It’s almost Thanksgiving! I decided this is the year that I will cook a whole turkey for the first time. When we do our family Thanksgiving meals, I’m more in charge of side dishes and desserts. But at age 38, it’s time for me to cook a turkey. Granted, I’m doing it a few weeks …

Summer is almost here! Or, if you’re in Georgia like I am, it’s really already begun. We’ve pulled out the water toys, and I’ve made the first peach cobbler of the season. One of my favorite things about summer is the way it calls us to a simpler time. To days filled with sunshine and …

Who doesn’t love watching toddlers do an Easter egg hunt in their cute Easter outfits?! It’s one of the most adorable things ever. It can also be kind of a confusing concept. “So, you want me to go pick up those plastic things? But don’t open them? Just put them in my basket? And do …

As I was preparing to go on my first maternity leave, I figured I would tie up as many loose ends as possible, hand everything off to my boss and coworkers, and then pick it all back up once I returned. Everything would then go forward as usual – just with the addition of a …

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 …
