I’m a big proponent of the Girl’s Weekend. It’s a necessary part of life. Whether it’s getting away from work stress, parenting stress, life stress, sometimes you just need to grab a girlfriend, hop in the car and GO. Thankfully, Toyota offered me the chance to test out latest RAV4 and invited me down to Charleston…. [Read More]
The real reason I’m sad preschool is ending
Every afternoon (unless it’s raining), Monday through Thursday, you can find me on the preschool playground, surrounded by a group of women. It’s been this way since the fall of 2011. Some years there were more of us, other years a few less. But we were always there. We commiserate about parenting woes – children… [Read More]
Life is a journey and I’m still learning
As a woman in her late 30s, I am constantly amazed at how much I’m still growing, learning, changing. I know that learning is a life long process, but it’s easy to assume you know who you are…at least for me. This past week I was able to spend some time in my creative, work… [Read More]
Friendship drama starts too dang early
My daughter comes running up to me on the preschool playground, tears streaming down her face. “She was MEAN at me, mommy!” Oh dear. It’s started already. I was anticipating it being an elementary school thing, but apparently it happens in preschool too. Girl drama. Friendship drama. Not that it doesn’t happen to boys too,… [Read More]
3 things I loved about my weekend at Type A Parent
I spent last weekend in Atlanta at the Type A Parent Conference. I originally wasn’t going to go. I’ve been in this space for a bit and have worked in marketing for most of my career, so as far as learning goes, I just wasn’t sure I was going to get a lot out of… [Read More]
Make New Friends But Keep The Old
So I just got back from BlogHer. I’m totally spent and my mind is blur of all that transpired. There were parts that I loved and parts that I didn’t. But I don’t want to focus on the negative because truly, at the heart of the matter, I got to spend the weekend with some… [Read More]
The adventures of little boys
We talked all about your friend C a lot the week before we left for vacation. You hadn’t seen him in a year, but we showed you pictures and you absolutely remembered going to the water park with him. You were so anxious to leave, to go play with him again. “When are we going… [Read More]
Type A Parent: Friendship and Fabulousness
I’ve spent the last week trying to decompress from my travels and absorb all of the amazing things I got to take part of in Charlotte last weekend. I have so much to say and share, but at this point, if I don’t just get it all out on the page, it’s not ever going… [Read More]
VlogMoms Thursday: A Moment That Changed Your Life
This week, our vlogging prompt was brought to us by Jennifer from As Hip As I Wanna Be. She asked us to talk about a moment in your life that changed you forever. I had to think long and hard about this one, but kept coming back to the same moment. Middle school is cruel,… [Read More]
Let’s CURE Childhood Cancer
Did you know there is a National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? Up until a month ago, I did not. Now that I do, it’s important to me to support CURE Childhood Cancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer. I am thrilled to be participating as a blogger in the CURE Community, helping to… [Read More]
