3 New Ways to Hunt Easter Eggs
Tweet I did a little trial egg hunt with my almost three-year-old last week and realized that she doesn’t quite get it. She was all for me hiding the eggs, but then the “go and find them” part was a little lost on her. I started looking around and I found some great ideas to [...]
Mommy SOS | Ms. Manners
Tweet Dear Mommas, My almost three year old has decided she is now “shy” and won’t speak to people. I’m not asking her to have a conversation, but I am trying very hard to teach her nice manners.

Valentine’s Dinner In
Tweet I don’t know about you, but just thinking about the work that goes into going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day exhausts me. Finding a sitter, finding a reservation, finding something to wear, finding the kiddo’s favorite jammies, finding a time when my husband can get home early enough for dinner but late enough [...]
Is Costco making me fat?
Tweet My youngest turned one last week! This means I can no longer use the excuse “I just had a baby!” to explain those last few pregnancy pounds I’m still trying to loose…well, at least not with a straight face. Like many moms, I’ve held on to a couple of, what I lovingly call, “Souvenier [...]
