I've written before about being a working mom. Forgive me. It is all I've known for the last year. It is rewarding. It is never ending. It is exhausting. This post could not have come at a better time!  I just finished...
I’ll be honest - the main reason my family road trips everywhere is because buying airfare for six and then getting a rental car is stinking expensive! I absolutely would rather (most times) jet off to our vacation destinations, arriving...
In a past life, I dreamt of being a fashionista. Then, I got pregnant and found yoga pants and that dream was far-gone. When I became a mom of two boys I thought my visions of living out the rest of...
Recently, a fellow mom asked a question on a Kansas City mom’s Facebook group – why someone would consider voting for a presidential candidate whose appeal she herself was failing to see. The mom asked with deep respect and asked...
The Kansas City Royals taught us all a lesson or two over the past couple years. They've gone from not being in the World Series since 1985 to being part of it two years in a row and taking...
