Yesterday, we had a big time doctor’s appointment for Stevie at Boone Fetter Clinic. A few of you already know that this was long awaited — not only for the last several years of talking about it, but once we finally made the decision to go forward, we had to book 6 months out. Popular…
Another day, another style challenge! Summer is definitely my most difficult season for dressing. It seems like it should be the easiest! I really feel like I should have this down by now. I mean, I always start off optimistic enough. Every single June, I’m like this is my year to wear cute dresses and…
As I started writing this blog post, I wanted to dedicate it to the new parents out there. Because holy crap if you’re a new parent. You are surely going through some big changes. You are definitely tired. You are probably hormonal. You are feeling accomplished and hopeful and well-adjusted one day — and like…
I originally found the Taking Stock list on the Meet Me at Mike’s blog. Thanks for checking in! Making: clothes! It’s really happening!

Time, once again, for a wardrobe challenge! I finally made peace with my closet for the Spring, but feelings have been creeping back in. The ugh, I have nothing to wear type of feelings. I’ve been immensely discontent with my closet the last few weeks and I know exactly why. Hint: it’s never about the…
Summer is already upon us! Stevie is out of school and Memorial Day weekend is but a memory. Ours had its ups and downs and the down parts got me all sorts of anxious at the thought of our impending long, hot summer. So it’s time for me to focus on some other things. The…
Mom life right now is… sharing a bed with too many large creatures. Stevie always comes to our bed around 1am and Fergus is catching on too. They are either getting sneakier, or Paul and I are so tired that we don’t even notice. Mom life right now is… two short workouts a day —…
Alright ladies, so this might not be the sexiest Mother’s Day giveaway ever. But as someone who had a really hard time finding natural deodorant that actually worked, I am pretty excited about it! Smelling good certainly can’t hurt the sexy factor. First of all, please tell me you have switched to natural deodorant and…
