These two boys have come along way these past few months. They had to hang tight while we launched a new business this past spring and they bared with me while I had a mama meltdown. They really had to fend for themselves when I injured my hip and needed bed rest the last three [...]
I didn’t allow myself to want a girl until I had her. And now that I have her I have completely surrendered to all things girl. Like ruffled sun hats. And super cute dresses. And there’s always super cute floral pajamas. I also like to sit and daydream about the knitted woolen jumpers, picky pants [...]

We are a pretty go with the flow kind of family, but it has become apparent that in order for me to survive these times with my sanity we are going to need some conscious daily flow to keep everyone centered. The challenges: Koala is two and a half. He’s having a hard time with [...]

In other words, work is inevitable. However, it is our belief that work does not have to be a drag or something that [...]
We had our home visit tonight. It was very different from our first two–much less formal and not so urgent feeling. The midwife asked what our vision was and I pretty much said, “Well, and then I’ll just have the baby.” We all laughed because isn’t that the truth of it all. You can plan [...]
Tears & Abundance I’ve shed some major tears in the past 36 hours. I don’t tell you this for pity or condolences (it’s actually quite hard for me to admit), but rather for the sake of authenticity. I know I’m not alone in feeling overwhelmed by life in our fast-paced world, parenting in a new [...]
