As most of my readers know, I’ve been working hard for the last eight months to transform myself into a thinner, healthier version of me – a new me!  Some of the most gratifying moments on my journey have been the times that I needed to purchase new clothes in smaller sizes, dropping a total…

I spent the second half of 2011 as a Ragu Mom’s the Word on Dinner ambassador because not a single week goes by without us using Ragu in at least one meal.  I truly love this product, and through this program I have had the privilege of learning more about not only changes made to…

When I became a mother nearly eight years ago, I very much looked forward to staying home with my baby girl, spending our days together exploring the world around us.  What I couldn’t anticipate, however, was how hard it would be to have my husband an hour and a half away at work every day…

First steps were a very long journey with our first child.  She was nearly eleven months before she crawled, so we knew she would be older than a year before walking.  What we didn’t realize is that she would walk on her knees for a long time before finally walking regularly every day around 18…

Summer camp season is here and for many parents, this means eight weeks of trying to track down lost belongings.  How many of us begin the summer months with one water bottle, towel, and tote bag only to find that by the end of the season we’re lucky to have even one of the original…

With my first child, milestones were like the elephant in the room.  My daughter was born two months early, and while most babies her age were sitting unsupported, pulling up on furniture, and beginning to crawl, Emma was still struggling for muscle control and strength.  With each milestone, the pediatrician gave us both the “normal”…
