I wrote 1,000 posts and all I got was this t-shirt

May 3, 2013

When I opened the dashboard on Wednesday to post for State of the Weight, I skimmed the numbers I saw staring back and saw that Wednesday’s post was #999. That means that this is post 1,000. 1,000 posts of words and pictures and moments and vents and happiness and sadness all put out into the [...]

State of the Weight Wednesday: Breakfast of Champions

April 30, 2013

Welcome to State of the Weight Wednesday! So, no new banner this week. I’ve decided I’ll make a new one when I hit my goals. Which means we’ll probably get a new banner next week because this week I’m down another 4 pounds!! 211, people! I didn’t think I would see a drop like that [...]

Emma’s 1st Birthday: A Pretty Pink Party

April 29, 2013

So, Emma turned 1, right? I know. I’m trying to pretend it didn’t happen, too. Except it did happen. And we threw her a party. A Pretty Pink Party. The inspiration for a pink birthday party came from a skirt I bought her on a swap page. It was so delicate and this amazing shade [...]

PTSD from parenthood

April 27, 2013

On any given day lately, I feel like I have a laundry list of about 103930 things on the verge of driving me completely insane. Like, one day I think I’m going to have PTSD from parenthood. One day things are going to be smooth sailing (probably not until they go to college) and I [...]

No More Bootstraps

April 22, 2013

I saw a meme floating around Facebook this morning that sort of gut-punched me. It said “Pretending to be happy when you’re in pain is just an example of how strong you are as a person.” People. I’m about to get a little ranty. Hold on to your hats. As someone who has battled both [...]

State of the Weight Wednesday: Inaugural Address

April 17, 2013

At this moment, I am officially the heaviest I have ever been while not pregnant in my 31 years on this planet. That is the kind of scary and uncomfortable truth about the state of my weight. Yep. Those are my feet on that scale. And that number is my weight as of today. Seven [...]

FOMO By-proxy

April 16, 2013

We’re living in an age where we’re all overscheduled, underslept, and chronically “busy.” We sign our kids up for t-ball, soccer, chess club, tae kwon do, gymnastics, and music lessons and spend all of our time carting them from one activity to another while we’re also trying to keep up with work, friends, the gym, [...]

Wal-Mart White Cloud Play-Date

April 13, 2013

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud Diapers. Thanks to Wal-Mart and White Cloud Diapers for the opportunity to work together! I feel like maybe it’s safe to say it now. Maybe. I hope. But Spring has sprung, guys. That means I can’t use the “it’s too cold” excuse [...]

Acceptable Snacking

April 12, 2013

So, apparently I complain a lot and some people don’t think I like motherhood? Or staying home with my kids? Yeah. That was news to me, too. “Parenting is a human experience,” as Jill so eloquently put it, and I was just being human. The thing is I love this gig better than any 9 [...]
