Plan, prepare—but also be flexible. I think that's my new summer mantra.
From travel points to getting your child ready for college.
1. "My kids come first, but so do I."
Being a grown-up isn't always fun, but it turns out that some of the things you've been procrastinating about the most aren't actually that bad.
It's not my son's job to fulfill me, make me happy, or give me an identity. That's my job; always has been and always will be. This I know without a shadow of a doubt.
Every day I feel grateful to call you mine.
Raising my kids is the most important thing I could ever do.
I went from a working professional to an amateur mom throwing pity parties for myself at the kitchen table.
Unlike many women I know, my progression to becoming a stay-at-home mom was neither planned nor expected.
It happens to the best of us.
Four years ago I left a successful marketing career to stay home with my firstborn.
There's no reason to fit into JUST the working mom or stay-at-home mom box.
4. If I get dressed and put on makeup I'm going to go somewhere.
Why are some of us so afraid to be stay-at-home moms?
6. Be your own barista. Getting your coffee fix at home could save you $400+ a year.
