As someone who loves to travel, this year-long quarantine has given me (among other things) a mad case of wanderlust. The good news is that the more people who get vaccinated and COVID rates go down, the more travel opportunities will start to pop up. We had a chance to fly from Philly to Colorado recently with the...
Raines has always been tricky to dress, but in the past, the issue has been only about comfort. Specifically: pants. But as he's gotten older, The Great Pants War has died down simply because we've found a couple of pants that worked...and I simply buy the same pairs over and over again.
That said...Raines has been -- up until recently...

These kids are growing up SO fast, man. Everyone warns you about that happening, but it's not until you have your own children that you really get it. It seems to happen super slow and fast all at the same time...one day their favorite shirt is too big and...
I can no longer dress my boys -- at ages 10 and 13 they have their own (very strong) opinions about what is and what is not cool. And apparently, Stuff Their Mom Picks Out is decidedly NOT COOL, GUYS. Not cool. (Let's ignore, for the moment, that my very job is scoping out trends and trying to...
"I never want to be an adult!" my Big Feels 8-year-old announced, and promptly burst into tears, two pages into reading Celebrate Your Body by Sonya Renee Taylor aloud with me, a book about puberty for girls and those who identify as such.
"There goes my Mother of the Year trophy," I thought to myself as I sought to console...
Oh hey! It's just about Valentine's Day. Not sure how the heck that happened (weren't we just ringing in the New Year?), but here we are, and true to the current situation, it's looking a little different. We were required to turn in our class Valentines a week early, so they'd have plenty of time in "quarantine" before being...
If you (and/or your kids) are looking for something fun to do that doesn't involve screens or playing outside in the freezing temps, I've got a really good excuse to make some delicious comfort treats: Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day Treats Made With Love
It's basically one of the best reasons to treat yo' self and your kids/parents/neighbors...or really anyone who could...
Sometimes at the end of the day, all I want to do is entirely unplug. Video games might be a passion, but man, I miss having board game nights with my friends. And so, I've put together a guide to all my favorite board games and all the board games I still want to play!
Top 10 Board Games...
You Sus and You Look Sus have absolutely become my favorite expressions of #2020, in Quarantine, while making the best of stay-at-home. Thank you Among Us, for giving this mom a great giggle, for the entertainment, and for some fun words to use, too!
Two of my three kids are gamers. The third, generally has not been interested in online...
I am mind-blown right now, in a great way, by a puzzle. This Gray Malin Beach Puzzle is not only a beautiful work of art, it's double-sided!!! Is this concept new to anyone else?
I'm so excited about it because this is exactly the kind of new challenge we need in 2021 — a beautiful double-sided puzzle seems just about...
