Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I’ve been blogging for about four years now. Each year I come up with goals that I’d like to achieve, and blogging conferences are usually at the top of my list. This is my second Blogher experience and you wouldn’t believe how I’m preparing for #Blogher2015 The truth is I’m not going to over think…
As I mentioned it a previous post, my hubby and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at our daughter’s recital. We had a great time watching her dance and cheering her on. But let’s be real, that wasn’t exactly an ideal way to celebrate. Don’t get it twisted, we love our kids and would do anything for them. However, we…

I’m sure we can all agree that kids are absolutely adorable. But, they can get pretty annoying at times, especially in public. For the most part my kids are very well behaved. But a tantrum can happen at any time. Needless to say, we sometimes get the side eye from people without kids who…
Most people celebrate their wedding anniversary alone. Our 10 year anniversary gift ideas involved brunch followed by a Dave Chappelle standup comedy routine at Radio City Music Hall last year.
