You haven’t really lived until you’ve tried “recycle cake.” We even get intimate with other topics like why every mom should try period panties and the value of a nursing cart when there’s a newborn in your home.

Monday morning ... here you are again. Most Monday mornings I am ready to greet the week feeling rested and accomplished now that my meal prepping is done and the laundry isn't just washed but folded. This week however, I did none of that. This particular weekend involved lots of whining kiddos and another failed attempt at potty training. My family fun attempt at the Highland Park splash pad was chaotic and involved too many sunscreen applications for a 30 minute outing at most. And WHY? WHY IS IT SO HOT? On this particular Monday, I hit the snooze button far too many times. I had to dig 4 kids clothes out of the massive pile of unfolded laundry and send...
Confession – I really LOATHE the beach. I know I’m supposed to enjoy the day with a drink in my hand and sand between my toes but we all know a beach day with children is work. Pre-kids spending a day at the beach was more like a relaxing spa day with the salty wind in my face and a good book. Back then all I needed was a towel, chair, and a cooler full of snacks and ice-cold drinks. Now that I have three children, the amount of things required for a day at the beach has doubled. Beach towels, snacks, water, sunblock, sand toys, extra clothes, hats, and an umbrella. The whole thing is a production. For my fellow beach...
I have been an avid boater my entire life. Few things bring me more joy than a day out on the water disconnected from phones, jobs and the business of life. Until this past weekend, I considered myself well equipped and knowledgeable on Louisiana boating laws. An encounter with Wildlife and Fisheries during a boat safety check proved me wrong. I was aware some things had changed since my childhood days on the water; however, I embarrassingly admit to never taking the time to read the fine print. Below are a few surprising things I learned from the agents who stopped our boat. These facts are being shared under the assumption the Wildlife and Fisheries agents provided correct information. Legal Driving...
I spent my four years of college exploring every philosopher of early childhood education. The methods and ideas behind children's development and the ways educators can aid this development. We learned the most amazing things such as the zone of proximal development, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, differentiation, etc. One type of education still fascinated me to this day - The Montessori way. In 1907, Maria Montessori opened her own school in Italy to provide education for low-income children. She did not use the traditional classroom approach. Instead, she believed in child-directed learning. To keep it simple:“Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.”This method fascinates me. This method is affordable, simple, and easy...
Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links. BookTok has consumed my life in more ways than one. My to-be-read (TBR) list has grown by 30, but my speed of reading has grown just as quickly. Have you ever started a book and it was so good you just couldn’t stop reading it or thinking about it? These are those books. I’ve had to make myself start a book in the morning because I won’t sleep until the book is finished. Fair warning :: some of the books below are spicy spicy, but trust me you won’t regret it nor will your significant other, if you know what I mean. The Stopover by T.L Swan - is a great intro to smutty...
