Well, this post is going to be something like that - except when I originally wrote this letter to my friend, I did have a baby, just a teeny tiny one who didn't have opinions or emotions beyond "I'm hungry". But I certainly wasn't a toddler mom and my friend was deep, so deep, in the trenches parenting her toddler - and she needed to hear that she was doing OK handling her current stage of motherhood.

For the last two years, my husband has been in graduate school to become a Physician Assistant (PA). It has hands down been the most challenging 2 years of our marriage and that is factoring in the beginning of our marriage when he was in nursing school and we had a baby, and more difficult than surviving our first year with twins.

WHEN YOUR PRETEEN STARTS TO WEAR MAKEUP
Preteens are far and a way some of the most complex humans on the planets. Not quite a kid, and not quite a teenager really makes for a complicated road to navigate.

To Minivan or Not to Minivan
*Thanks to Toyota for allowing us to test drive the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser. This was such a fun experience. Although this is a sponsored post, all thoughts and opinions are my own!** Friends, I have a confession to make. It's not something that I am proud of but if I don't put it out there, someone will. My name is Channing and I have been cheating on my... minivan. I know, I know, how could I do such a thing?
