An (Almost) Sugar Free Easter Basket

March 9, 2017 By Coleen 2 Comments

An (Almost) Sugar Free Easter Basket

I promise, I’m really not the lamest mom ever. But I do have a sort of personal vendetta against sugar. To give you a little background, some bizarre autoimmune conditions run in my family, so when my body completely freaked out after my second child, I started seeing a naturopath who helped me quickly see how… [Read More]

Make Summer Camp “Shopping” Easy

Make Summer Camp “Shopping” Easy

Spring is in the air… even though it’s only February, it’s been 70 degrees on and off and most parents I know are already thinking about summer camp – especially with Raleigh Parks & Recreation’s registration going live last week. Well, if that process weren’t challenging enough, wading through all the many, many summer and… [Read More]

Nanny Diaries – Why I Choose a Nanny for My Family

Nanny Diaries – Why I Choose a Nanny for My Family

Before I had kids, I never considered I’d one day have a nanny. I thought they were for rich people who didn’t want to raise their own children, or for people who worked long hours and traveled a lot. When I wound up pregnant at the same time as a co-worker, friend and neighbor, we… [Read More]

What it Means to Be a Good Mother – A Memoir to Mine

I’m sure most moms have thought about what it really means to be a good mother and I doubt if many of us have figured it out. Well, I lost my mother just a few weeks ago, and with Mother’s Day and her funeral fast approaching, I’ve given it a LOT of thought over the… [Read More]

A Simpler 2015 – Is It Too Much to Ask For?

January 2, 2015 By Coleen 11 Comments

2014 was a crazy and wonderful year for our family. Like most families, we had good news, bad news, tears of joy and tears of sadness. Personally, I battled some (non-major) health issues and had a rude awakening with some scary diagnoses from some of my closest family members, and as a result, am much… [Read More]

Feeling sassy after childbirth – yes, it’s possible

July 7, 2014 By Coleen Leave a Comment

Having a baby is a big deal, and let’s face it ladies, women carry the brunt of the work during pregnancy, labor and – especially if breastfeeding – during baby’s first few weeks and months of life. While I am not really a fan of the push present concept – women have been doing this… [Read More]

Looking for great baby gear? Check out PiyoPiyo

May 13, 2014 By Coleen Leave a Comment

We have a TON of baby/kid stuff, so it’s not too often that I rave about something new and different. I was fortunate to get some product samples from a cool company called Piyo Piyo that I had the chance to check out since the arrival of our second child. Their products range in age… [Read More]

And then there were two…

I had my second baby – a freaking ADORABLE little man – just eight weeks ago and I feel GREAT.  And (shhh, don’t tell anyone I said this), this is EASY.  Yep, I said it.  Life with a newborn and a 22-month old girl (who is quite spirited, I might add) is EASY. After hearing… [Read More]

The second child is almost here and I’m one worried mama

January 20, 2014 By Coleen Leave a Comment

Fears over having another child? You’re not alone. I’m Coleen and I’ve known Erin just about as long as I can remember (We were 10 when we met…timidly in fifth grade as we rehearsed our hilarious fifth grade musical production of Pandora’s Box.)  I have an 18-month old little girl who is freaking awesome.  She… [Read More]
