Third Babies Really Are Easier… And Here’s Why

Third Babies Really Are Easier… And Here’s Why

A lot of my friends keep asking me how I’m surviving the transition from two kids to three (especially if they are one of families with two kids who are considering a third… I know that decision is hard, I’ve been there). Let me be the first to tell you that some days are not… {read more}

The bittersweet heartache when your last baby grows

The bittersweet heartache when your last baby grows

It’s just a regular day.  Having a few minutes of play after lunch.  Your brothers are at school and you’ve been watching me do the laundry.  I decide to pull out my camera to capture the moment.  You are a third child and I don’t always get to take as many photos as I would… {read more}

Kids’ Emotions are Real, Too

Self-Care for Mothers: Finding Your Style

Self-Care for Mothers: Finding Your Style

Oh how style changes once you become a mother.  Pre-baby days, I used to love my high heeled boots and dangly earrings.  (Not to mention, late night trips to the coffee shop – ha ha!) Nowadays it’s a different story. In fact, after having my first son I went into a sort of slump where… {read more}

Self-Care for Mothers: Eating Well

Self-Care for Mothers: Eating Well

Early last year I shared a very personal post about how I was dealing with the repercussions of my teenage eating disorder. Since then, I have still been riding the waves of life… doing well, doing not so well, and doing well again with my eating habits.  Being pregnant for nine months of the past year gave… {read more}
