Month Of Mom 30-Day Photo Challenge- Check in #PGmom

I posted two weeks ago that I could be participating in my first photo challenge ever. It wasn’t just a weeks worth of photos, but 30 days! What a long time! P&G provided its moms with this unique opportunity. Each day we are given a word and then we have to capture in a picture […]

Lessons Learned

I’ve shared my birth story and for me it was a pretty horrible experience although I received the best gift at the end- Princess Peach. Click to read part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5 if you missed them!  Is my birth story the worst? No, it’s not but I know […]

Trade you a paci for a hockey stick

It was a lapse of judgement. Princess Peach was having a rough morning and didn’t want to put on all her winter clothes to get into the car to just get undressed at daycare 5 minutes later. I couldn’t blame her. Being bundled up in the cold weather SUCKS. As The Hubster and I are […]

World Autism Awareness Day

Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Autism, it’s cause and awareness are something that are held very close and dear to my heart. I have worked with children who have autism now for 9 years and the incidence of autism continues to rise. Recently it is said to affect 1 in every 50 children. How […]

I’m not the bubble girl….I just have allergies

When I was growing up, allergies especially food allergies were not as common as they are today. There weren’t any fancy t-shirts to tell others that I was allergic to nuts, nor were there allergy cards that I could hand over to my server at a restaurant to alert them to my food allergies. At […]

Let me share a Secret #PGmom

I’m not sure exactly at what age I started wearing deodorant but for my first few years my parents would buy my deodorant. I remember having a wet roll-on and thinking it was the grossest thing ever. I couldn’t understand why someone would want to apply something wet to their armpits, have to let it […]

Youme and ……?

When I was pregnant with Princess Peach, The Hubster and I referred to her in utero as “Youme”. Simple Right? You + Me = Youme! We referred to her all the time in utero was Youme. So much so that my nieces thought that we would ACTUALLY name her Youme! Maybe we joked about it […]

Fridge Crisis aka. We need food!

Yesterday afternoon I opened the fridge to get a snack. It was pretty empty. All of our veggies had been eaten up and only one apple was left until Princess Peach wanted a snack. That apple disappeared instantaneously. Since I have started back at work one thing that has been difficult to become a routine […]

Identity Theft

My identity hasn’t been “stolen” but it has definitely been misplaced.  Misplaced. Maybe pushed to the side and forgotten about as being MOM has become my entire identity. 100%. Over the summer when I was still on mat leave I had many awkward conversations when I met new people. And as conversation go when you meet […]

It gets better

We are now officially just over 2 months into our “new” routine. I really miss being at home and spending all day with Princess Peach, but that could alone could fill pages, and pages of my blog.  Back to our “new” routine. The first two weeks of our transition were horrible. I’m not gonna lie. Princess Peach would freak out when […]
