I’m so happy to share my first reading review of the summer!!! You know, I didn’t quite get to all of the pool reads I planned for this month. I took three books to Mexico for our family vacation, but in totally shocking news… I only finished half of just one. Ha! It just wasn’t the binge-read kind of trip if you know what I mean, and I was completely OK with it! I also can’t tell if the rest of the summer will offer ... View Post
Everything I Didn’t Know About Kindergarten
We did it, my love. We did it! I squealed into Emerson’s last-day ponytail as she scrambled into my carpool-lined SUV for the final time this precious school year. She sat taller, shone brighter and breathed easier than she had only nine months prior—by a whole landslide, mind you. I know I still have a baby, but this span of 9 months barreling into the elementary years was nothing if not a rebirth. ... View Post

What now?!” While I know for certain that some people stick with Weight Watchers for a whole lifetime—no, ... View Post
April Books & Reviews
April sure showered some great reads upon me! Let’s get right to it, shall we? It was definitely an audiobook month for me—three of my five were Audible picks. I purchased one of those three-packs for a deal and thought I’d spread them out over time. But, you know: ME. My inner book addict won out per usual, and my ears popped them faster than candy. We’re also doing some super-fun home improvements, so this has ... View Post
My 25 Post-Baby Weight Loss Tips :: Part 1
I didn’t know if my body could do it, and I was completely OK with it. In a genuine exhale of peace and release, just last week, I accepted that my 33-year-old frame most likely didn’t want to lose the entire 62 pounds I gained in my third pregnancy. I hit my longest plateau, seemingly unable to shake the last few. My body had settled back into my usual size, though, and my favorite pants—and most importantly I felt ... View Post
