Come Join My Mom Tribe on Facebook!
Years and years ago when I started my Facebook page, I felt like it was a fun place to connect with other moms. I really enjoyed connecting with many of you through social media.

Motherhood is NOT a Drawback
Well, it finally happened. As a mom pregnant with her 5th (technically 6th counting my miscarriage) baby, I figured we'd manage to get a few negative comments here or there.

Keep Your Judgement to Yourself, I Love the Minivan Life
This post was sponsored by mifold grab and go booster. Trust me, I get it. When you see a minivan, you make some assumptions about the person who's driving it. You think you know the woman behind the wheel: She wears mom jeans, carts her kids back and forth to activities and is a regular in the fast food line. But you really don't know me. I used to say, "When I have ... Read More
Dear Friends, I Don’t Have It All Together {And I’m Sorry for all the Times I Come Up Short}
Oh my gosh -- we forgot to bring a dish, or a dessert, or even politely OFFER to bring something. Anything! This was the conversation my husband and I had this past Thursday evening as we were unloading 4 excited little kids out of the minivan at the home of friends from church. The kids were already out of their seats and heading towards the door. A bit too late to pile ... Read More
