I wish I were a dentist. Imagine this conversation, if you will: New Acquaintance: What do you do? Me: I’m a dentist New Acquaintance: Cool. Dentists have it so good. I cringe when I get asked what I do. Sure, it’s just a conversation topic, but how about instead you ask what books I’m reading […]
I want my life to be perfect. I want my children to be happy, confident, and living up to their best potentials. I want everyone to be healthy all the time. I don’t want anyone to ever feel upset. I want my house to be clean and organized. I want to feel connected to my […]
I remember so clearly being pushed in the wheelchair while my husband carried our tiny, less than 6-pound first-born daughter down to the car as we prepared to leave the hospital after her birth. I waddled over to the car, managing both my c-section pain and the largest pad I had ever worn. As we […]
There is something magical about the number seven. It’s a beautiful mix of independence and innocence. A stage where you are no longer a baby, yet not a teen. It’s an age where you are still little and sweet. An age where you still need us, but not like you used to. At seven, you […]

Over the past 10 years, I’ve definitely gone through quite a lot of changes.

However, the things I experienced over our […]
Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the stuff of life. I feel like every area of my life needs improvement. I should be learning more about finances, budgeting, and setting saving goals. I should be feeding our family better – making more wholesome meals and preparing healthy snacks rather than reaching for the quick fix, […]
This past year has been one of firsts and lasts. My first vaginal delivery (and my last). My baby’s first rolls over, her first sit-ups, her first crawls, and her first pulling up to stand. Her firsts are also my lasts. She is the last infant that I will have as a mother. My last […]
To be honest, I have never truly stuck to a New Year’s resolution. And how many people can actually say they have? Resolutions are easy to break but the one benefit of creating a resolution is that it allows us to reflect. What can I do better? Make better? Be better at? How have I […]
