Ok, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you have kids and you haven’t gone on an unplugged media free family vacation, do it NOW! Something amazing happens when you remove your kids from media, they remember how to be kids. They find pictures in clouds, skip rocks, and build things out … More Camping and s’mores cones
I was having a really good day today. I got up and went on a walk with my mother this morning before work. I went to work and was super productive today, even though I had to leave early at 2 o’clock to pick up my kids. I got so many things checked off my … More Insinsitive husband + angry fire breathing wife= a very bad evening
Miranda Hassell goes on quite a rant in her blog post where she counters Simon Sinek on his talk with IQ (Inside Quest) about Millennials in the workplace. I found the whole thing to be rather ridiculous, sorry Miranda. I loved Simon’s talk, it was brilliant. I din’t agree with every single word he said, but then again, no … More The rantings of Miranda Hassell, a girl who didn’t get her trophy and is pissed off about it.

Brittney, This weekend we just celebrated your sweet 16. I watched you at your party last night, continually surrounded by a gaggle boys fighting for your attention, and realized that all too soon we will be saying goodbye to our baby girl. You’re 16, so I’m not saying you’re going to be walking down the … More A letter to my daughter at 16
This week we celebrated our 5th adoption day. This is my favorite story from that very difficult time. It was the weekend after 4th of July when Haley was 21 months old that she moved in with us. It would take a full 15 months for us to remove parental rights and officially adopt our … More Our Adoption Story
I’m going to be honest here and tell you that I have raised 3 spoiled, entitled kids. It was unknowingly, and certainly unwantingly, but still it happened. Matt and I have noticed lately that our kids seem to think themselves very deserving of…well, everything. It’s a real slap in the face too, because we’ve made … More Entitled
Why is getting fit such a struggle? The struggle has been real. Now, I type this as I munch on a bowl of popcorn and contemplate going upstairs to fill a glass of wine (my go to meal), so I’m not saying I’ve given it a crazy amount of dedication, but I have worked, ok. … More Get Fit
