Like it. Love it. Live it.
Being a mom is an adventure comprised of a series of challenges that leave you alternately defeated and triumphant. You never know what tomorrow will bring; you just hope you have enough brain cells and patience to persevere and end the day laughing instead of crying. Though we don’t all get the chance to chronicle [...]
Ahhh … motherhood. It fills our lives with new wonder, experiences, and challenges. It reopens our eyes to the magic of childhood and shows us what we’re made of. It also brings us all kinds of new ways to embarrass ourselves. In the nine years since my daughter was born I have made my share [...]
If it’s true what they say – that being a mom is the hardest job in the world – then it stands to reason that after motherhood, a woman can handle any job she chooses. Why settle for the same old-same old? Here are six of the best mom jobs you never thought of, but [...]
For many of us, sitting down around the table with family and friends this Thursday is more than just Thanksgiving, it’s the official starting bell of the whole holiday season.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and share your own most embarrassing and bewildering “what did my kid just say?!?” moments. [...]

This guest post is from Sarah Daily. We’re so pleased to have her with us today and hope you enjoy this post on a topic every mom can relate to – that particular brand of crazy that accompanies motherhood and our attempts to be everything to everyone all the time. I have a vision of [...]
There are few life experiences that test us the way motherhood does.
