So we picked up these little fruit cups with Chia seeds. Our Two-Year-Old went BONKERS! He loves them. I didn’t hate the ingredients, but I did want to “organify” them (this is my made up word for adding organic ingredients, if that wasn’t apparent). I picked up three things Read more…

So, I’m not a single Mom, but I am a solo Mom. When Alex goes to work, he’s working, but he’s also free from his child-rearing responsibilities for a few hours. As a solo parent, which is easier than being a single parent who stays at home, I’m on lockdown Read more…
I know there’s a whole thing now where people have stopped saying “NO” to their kids. I agree that there are times where saying no might not be the appropriate response, but never saying no is ridiculous to me and here’s why. Society deserves better! Never saying no sets a Read more…
I saw this online a while back (I’ll look for the source this evening and post it), it was a blog post idea. I want to think that I identify with some amazing parent like a Candace Cameron Bure, Michelle Obama or a Joanna Gaines, but realistically, I’m probably more Read more…
