Honesty time, friends. I am so burnt out on being a mommy right now. I love, love, love my boys, but in my current state of fatigue I am a mediocre mama. I’m a workaholic in most aspects of my life, so this is what I do. I work and work and work without taking […]

(Warning: This post may seem really insensitive to those of you experiencing primary or secondary infertility. I’m very sorry if you find it offensive. My goal is to express my feelings and not come across as a martyr.) I can’t have any more children. Paul and I had always planned to have two children, and

Okay, so maybe I’m sitting at a coffee shop 5 minutes away from my house while the kids’ grandmother watches them, but it sure feels like freedom. And

My latest fun find as a Bzz Agent is Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin (whew! what a mouthful!). BzzAgent.com sent me a full size Daily Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer to try and review. And what can I say? I love it. I usually like the items I try for Bzz Campaigns (although

Last week I read a remarkable post on Femina that gave a terrific description of life as a mom. The image of my energy levels as a milkshake quickly being drained by the kiddos is exactly how I feel many days. Check it out. Lindsay at Suburban Turmoil recently posted a story that made me
