“EWWWW! What IS that mom?” Jenn exclaimed when I picked up a package of pre-cooked organic beets while shopping. To her, these veggies of dripping with nutrition were yucky, bloody balls of “don’t eat it”. But I had a plan up my sleeve to make a hidden vegetable smoothie she would love. And guess what?…
On a cold and wet winter day, there are few foods better than a rich and wholesome soup. With rain tapping on the window and kiddos bundled under blankets in the living room, I pulled all of our seasonal winter veggies out of the fridge and pantry to make a nutritious butternut squash and cauliflower…
From the back of the van I heard Jenn jabbering about a memory she had as we drove past a nearby park and wildlife reservation. “Daddy climbed this HUGE rock and then he let me climb a big one too!” It sparked memories of my husband explaining the adventures that the two of them had…
My mom hated Monopoly. It was a game that in her mind we asked to play too much and took too much time to play. So one day she declared that Monopoly could not be played in our house except for on New Year’s Day. And thus began the tradition that as kids we would…
My whole world slowed down to a screeching halt and spun past me in slow motion as I screamed in sheer panic “WHERE ARE YOU JENN?!?!” I was in my own 900 square foot home and yet somehow could not find my 3-year-old daughter.

I remember my oldest’s first Christmas and thinking about all the things our family could do to make the time more meaningful. And I started dreaming those nostalgic and magical dreams of creating our own family traditions that the kids would remember and love. It led me to search for ways to instill family time,…
Last week out family had plans that fell through and when we mentioned this to our 4-year-old happily declared “That’s ok. You don’t have to apologize to me. I understand.” I sat there in a little bit of disbelief, expecting to have to squash the meltdowns and fires that I just knew would burst onto the…
Scrolling through my social media feed I see angry people daily. Threats to “unfriend me if you believe in…”, “I will delete you if you…”, or “I just lost 20 friends because of my last post” and bright red emojis that look like they’re going to pop litter comments on every thread. But friends, aren’t…
Switching between 7 different news stations and rotating through trying to make what I could of the numbers, I stayed up until 3am watching the 2016 presidential election unfold in real time in some sort of twilight zone that no side predicted.
