I’ve been working from home now for about 4 years – in that time I’ve learned a lot about working for myself (and others) and how to juggle the balance when you’re in your house all day. Things also changed big time after Piper was born and I’m now working at home with my daughter. […]

There’s no denying I love a good glass of wine! Tonight I’m answering ANY of your questions live on Instagram stories! A few of my friends do this and love how it allows them to really connect with their readers and followers, so I’m giving it a try. Feel free to send me any questions […]

We officially have a toddler on our hands! In the midst of Piper turning one and having her birthday party followed by our summer vacation in California I neglected to get her 1 year update posted! So here we are at 13 months and Piper’s growing and changing like crazy (pretty sure I say that […]

I’ve talked at length about how since I’ve become a mom I have struggled to find balance in my life between working, having a side business and this blog — leaving little to no time for myself. I know I’m not alone and so many working moms are trying to do the same thing, in […]

Piper has 8 flights down now and each one has presented its own set of challenges given her age at the time. I was most nervous on her first flight (across the country, none the less) but I was really worried about our trip to California last month since she’s very active now and can be […]

When I think of real life Mama’s who encourage me to work hard and have it all, Tamara Taggart quickly comes to mind. A Mother of three, Wife, News Anchor, Journalist, Cancer Survivor, Downs Syndrome Advocate, Board Member, Hospital Campaign Chair & to top it off she even has her own blog where she shares […]

I’ve heard about Stitch Fix for years — although I’d never really thought much about trying out the service since I happen to enjoy shopping and picking out my own clothes. Now that I work full time, have my own business on the side and am the mother to a very active one year old […]

It’s hard to believe that Piper’s first birthday has come and gone already! We had such a great time last weekend with friends and family celebrating our sweet girl. Several months ago I decided on having a circus theme party for Pipes, inspired by a painting I saw online. Things have been so busy that […]

As soon as I found out I was pregnant I began religiously using belly oils – I’d aim to apply them twice a day (sometimes it was just once) and although stretch marks are hereditary I swear it helped the elasticity of my skin. I ended my pregnancy with no stretch marks in site and […]

Today I’m excited to kick off a series kid-friendly city guides from a local’s perspective. I thought it would be fun to start with my home town and since I’m a new mom — I asked my friend Christina of the blog Proper Hunt to chime in on her favorites… she has 4  and 1 […]

Have you checked out Banana Republic lately? Back during fashion week in February they were getting a ton of buzz for amping up their style….and ever since I’ve been checking their website for new arrivals more frequently. To be honest I hadn’t set foot in a Banana store in years! I’ve been on the hunt […]

I’ve been on a Podcast streak ever since the Serial craze began, though I seem to be listening to them more than ever these days…. in the shower or getting ready and while I’m driving or cleaning. Today I thought I’d share a few of the parenting and motherhood podcasts that I’ve been enjoying along […]
