It’s not too often that I feel like I’ve got luck on my side. Sure, I am lucky to be a mom to five beautiful kids. I am lucky to have wonderful friends, both on and off line. But when I think of LUCK, I think of Acapulcan bus drivers. That’s right. Acapulcan bus drivers….

Some People Should Not Wear Skinny Jeans
And I am one of those people. I heard from a friend the other night that Target had a bunch of jeans on sale for $5. FIVE dollars for new jeans?? I’m in! I needed a few things at the store the other day, so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and…
Last Week, Sandals. This Week, Snow Boots.
Last Friday, I was at the park with the kids wearing my flip flops and a pair of capris that I had pulled out of the Summer clothes bag in storage. 80 degrees felt like heaven. The kids kept making comments about Spring finally being here. I told the kids not to get used to…
How to Create a Love List With Your Kids

Creating Family Memories
All too often, when there’s a day off school (especially in the Winter), my kids and I sleep in, watch a movie or two, and (maybe if we’re lucky) bake some goodies together. Today, in honor of President’s Day, and in an effort to create some memories with my kids, I decided to take advantage…
Similac StrongMoms #babyjournal
My first baby was born in December 1996. For the next 10 years, my life was consumed by babies, diapers, bottles, breast, and baby food, doctors visits, and many late-night hours rocking children to back to sleep. I loved it, but it was hard work and a whole lot of information for my tired brain…

Some Days You Just Need Chocolate
Chocolate is the perfect solution for a tough, emotionally exhausting week. What is it about chocolate that makes everything feel better? On second thought, don’t answer that.
