It's Thanksgiving, so as I sit here in my new house, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude that we have our very own space.

We spent months occupying someone else's space. Our previous home sold in May, but we hadn't found a new house yet... and, long story short, we ended up...

Sometimes I hate being a working mom. I love being a mom, I love working… but I hate balancing momming and working. Because no matter what, you lose.

Let’s do the math.

There are 24 hours in a day, yes? God, I hope you agree with that, at least.

Bonjour, friends. Fresh office inspo to fuel your work-from-home dreams headed your way...

It all started with an old hand-me-down dresser, whose glossy wood stain was chipped in the corners, its brass hardware stained with age. My parents happily shoved it into the bac...

There are so many things I wanted to accomplish.

My eyebrows grew ragged, my nails remain unpainted… my Christmas tree? Still standing. This Christmas break was supposed to feel relaxing.

The party started immediately following the last...

I never thought growing up close to my kids' grandparents was going to happen. For a few years, we all lived on opposite ends of the country - us in Seattle, Brian's parents in Georgia, and my parents in New Jersey. The distance was tough, but we stayed in touch, as fa...
