In the Marasco house, we LOVE football! Be sure to understand me when I say WE, because I don't just mean that my husband watches it while I tolerate it. NO, I am a HUGE fan of football, as...
This summer, during the crazy time of my church’s Vacation Bible School, my dear friend posted on Facebook a sweet bed-head photo of her nine-month-old on the morning of the last day of VBS week. The early morning light...
The research. The networking. The thrill of the first call. The interview ... from the first "no way in hell" to the last "that person was awesome," I loved every minute of our daycare search. Yep. You read that...
One night, as I was doing the never-ending dishes, I found myself having a pretty negative self-talk dialogue. "I'm so tired, why do my kids eat so much, why do I keep cooking, are theses dishes ever going to end,...

Right before I found out I was pregnant with my son, I ran the Kansas City Half Marathon. During the first couple of months of pregnancy, I continued to run until his head lodged low into my pelvis sending...

"Pregnant again?"
"Yes, we know how this is happening" - but thanks, fifty-something-year-old man in the produce aisle that just...
Summer.

We love it. We relish it. We count down the days until it returns.

Going to the dentist? No problem.
Public speaking? My pleasure.
Becoming a mom? Scared me so much that just the thought would make me shake more than a belly-dancer in an earthquake.
I love our son, but I’ve had to...
"It's a boy."
Words I never thought I would hear. OK, I'll be honest - I actually cried when the ultrasound tech uttered those words.
The week before our big reveal ultrasound I went through the old trunk of girly outfits....
The other day I received a text from a fellow mom who had moved from the Midwest to a new city. She asked me, "How do I find moms here? How do I find things for moms and kids...
