In case you haven’t heard, but you probably have, there will be a major total solar eclipse this year on April 8, 2024 just like the last major one on August 21, 2017. Eclipses of the sun are fairly rare to happen over the same city, but they do happen regularly in different parts of…
Teaching kids how to help with their own discipline isn’t as hard as it might sound. It’s simply a matter of intentional parenting that teaches them important lessons to build character. In fact, my almost-five-year-old has learned to remove herself from situations when she feels her emotions spiraling out of control and has started to self-discipline…
The first time we ever left our oldest with a babysitter, she cried until she fell asleep on the kitchen floor. She was devastated we would ever leave her. But it was our anniversary, she was a toddler, and we hadn’t left the house on a date since before she was born. But we sought out…
When we moved to Boston in early 2015, one of the biggest adjustments was to not having central heat and air in our home. It was a sticky, don’t-touch-me, unbearable kind of summer. The kind where it feels like someone is breathing hot breath down your back and you walked out of your house wearing a…
You know how I knew I was pregnant the first time around? Because I couldn’t swallow a pill. Never in my life had I suffered from such a debilitating gag reflex as when I was trying to force myself to down my vitamins. It was like mind games because it was the one time in my…
Long days in the sun, enjoying the swimming pool, and participating in car wash fundraisers are all memories ingrained in my mind from my own childhood. But what followed all of them? Sunburns so bad my skin was bubbled. Weeks of squirming in my own clothes because it would touch a sensitive spot. Layers of…
“This article on athletic hairstyles for girls is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SoCozy.

Think back to your childhood. Slowly sift through your memories and think of the times your own parents felt like they were at the end of their rope with you from being uncooperative, disobedient, and ultimately a defiant child. Does anything stand out? Can you relate to your child better or understand your parent a…
While I am still waiting for number two to make her debut, it is on my heart to speak to mothers from a very real place in my life right now. If you are like me and only have one child and maybe you are a family who will only have one child, please let…
It was 5 pm and Chris picked me up from the zoo where I had walked with Jenn in a desperate attempt to get out of the house with my newborn. “Eurgh, Kara! You smell awful. Jenn must need a new diaper” Chris said as I unwrapped the baby from the wrap (what seemed like…
In sub-zero windchill and blizzard conditions, I was running through the snow without a coat on, tracking paw prints, and screaming my dog, Samson’s name. He was lost. And it was my fault. Two hours previous I decided to let him go outside, hoping he could get his business done before the bulk of the…
When my oldest was 6 months old, we did 10 hours of tornado disaster relief with her on my back. When my middle daughter was one, our family served other children in the community teaching them how to play soccer and fulfilling their every need. And now with my youngest, we regularly go grocery shopping…
