As I often tell my offspring, life isn’t always fair, and it often doesn’t go the way we want/expect it to go. To my kids, an unfair life looks like a lack of suitable snacks in the house, one sibling...
Good news, ladies. I am pretty sure I have found the ultimate mom life-hack. It magically provides a peaceful shower (taken alone), a moment to sip (hot) coffee in the morning and allows time to collect thoughts and prepare...
Pick up the toys, wash the dishes, restock the diaper bag, fold the clothes, pick up the toys again, fold the blankies and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. As moms, we're often the back-office support that helps makes our...
As the school year is winding down with year-end programs and making plans for the summer can be all consuming, it's time to take a night for yourself with girlfriends! Kansas City Moms Blog invites you to a Moms Night...
Topeka holds a special place in my heart as it is where my parents met (in an elevator!) and fell in love. My mom owned a small legal newspaper when I was a kid and we would take day...
There’s no doubt moms are much more involved in the digital world now than ever before, whether that be by choice or as a result of tech-obsessed kids. Right behind family, a smartphone or laptop is generally the thing...
A couple of days ago I had what some might call an "off day." I'd call it a total cluster of insanity! I was throwing together sandwiches and snacks for the kids to eat in the car on the...

My boys could tell by my overall demeanor and tone of voice that there was no time for questioning me. We had finally arrived at their favorite park. We had only been at the park for 10 minutes. But we...

My little boy likes fairies.  Yes, that’s right. My three year old boy likes fairies, princesses, and pink. Actually, I think he prefers them. He stops at every display he sees in stores, excitedly looking for a certain red-headed mermaid....
One thing I'm trying to work on this year is being a better friend. As a mom who works full time and also writes a blog, I find myself in front of a computer a lot more than I...
