Checking that mom box took a little bit longer for us than expected. We had always wanted to wait 5 years before we started talking about having kids, but didn't know that it could actually take longer than just a snap of my fingers. Oh how I wish that was the case. About a year into our marriage I was diagnosed with PCOS (Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and I was loaded up on meds. I hated it. I knew that there were some meds I was on that could potentially cause birth defects so about 2 1/2 years into our marriage I cut everything out and let me body clear out. At that point we agreed if we got pregnant, we got pregnant, but as the ... READ MORE >>

Finding Family Time on Weekends as a Working Mom
I'm going to level with all of you for a second here. Being a working mom? It's a lot of work, time, and more organization skills than you can imagine. It's a lot of making sure all the things get done and that everything is ready for every day of the workweek... which leaves little time for family time during the week. My days often feel like one sprint of a marathon, and by the time the weekend comes, we are all ready to recharge. The thing is, every weekend, there is still preparation for the week to come. Everything still needs to get done, so we have to work family time around all those errands. We find ways to squeeze it in wherever ... READ MORE >>
