Today I want to talk about my favorite pregnancy apps! When I was pregnant with my first 7 years ago, I don’t think I downloaded one pregnancy app. Not one! By the time I was pregnant with my son 4.5 years ago, I think I graduated to downloading a “contractions counter” app. Nothing fancy. Now… Continue reading My Favorite Pregnancy Apps

I’m So Sorry
This post is about teaching kids how to apologize. Sincerely. Not a, “Sorry, but….!” A real, genuine, sincere apology. A skill that will serve them well in life because let’s face it, we all mess up.
Recently I was chatting with one of my best girlfriends and she shared a story about something that happened with her middle-school aged son.
Her boy is a great kid. Super smart, responsible, good sense of right and wrong. The kind of kid that you just adore. But he, like all of us do from time to time, messed up and got in trouble in class.

But to begin, I have a confession – I had never really planned to start Saint Patrick’s Day traditions with my kiddos. Although I love the holiday, I usually put up a couple of cute decorations around the house, buy the kids some adorable green T-shirts to wear at school and call it a day.
That is until my oldest was in kindergarten last year. And was introduced to the concept of leprechaun traps…in fact, it was a school project for all of the kinders. And that’s when the questions started…
Pregnancy Brain
The Pregnancy Diaries…
My newest reality check – “pregnancy brain” is no joke! Who’s with me, mamas??
Whether it’s been awhile since you’ve been pregnant, or are currently pregnant, I think that every mom can relate to that crazy pregnancy brain phenomenon.
Like, my husband is now reminding me about things I didn’t even realize I’d forgotten. And just pats me on the back and sympathetically smiles each morning when I ask him for the fourth time in 10 minutes what he has planned for the day and if he fed the dog….
