Happy Day Bridget
Today is Bridget’s birthday or as we say in our house her HAPPY DAY.
My Challenge: Anna
As the mom of two girls, both who seem to have inherited my grazing habits instilling healthy eating is difficult. It does not help that we are naturally petite and until 40 could eat Hershey Bars for breakfast without remorse. Because both David and I are very active we are raising active kids.
But it is not always easy. Especially on long homework nights and the general craziness that happens with two children having multiple activities. To help with that Challenge I am so proud that Anna from FitFunner is here today on the My Challenge series. Continue reading
TBT–on the Threshold of Tweendom
This post originally appeared on 23-OCT-2013
The night before last Allie woke me up at 2:41 am. Yes, that is the exact freaking time. I threatened her that when she is in her early twenties I am breaking into her apartment at 2:40 am to wake her up by scaring the crap out of her. Continue reading
Name change
At the beginning of the summer we took Bridget to see a Specialist 20 hours away from our home in the hopes to find an answer to Bridgetitis. We had gone on a search for our own Dr. House.

We got the results. Finally. Continue reading
My Challenge: Coach Eli
I am so excited that Coach Eli is willing to share his Challenge today. I admire Eli so much. First because he coaches girl soccer. I would rather have a root canal. He is the dad to three incredible daughters. He is the dad you want your kid to have. One that balances being a dad with being a coach with being the soft place for his girls to land. Okay enough gushing.
The best advice ever
I was stuck for this week’s Finish the Sentence Friday prompt: the best advice my father ever gave me. As this is Abby’s birthday week I figured I would ask her.
Me: Abby, what is the best advice Daddy ever gave you?
Abby: don’t drop Cottontail on her head
And that folks is how Abby answered the prompt! FYI she got a bunny for her birthday
TBT do not take a day off.
You know how parents rarely take a day for themselves? This is a throw back Thursday to explain why it is never a good idea. Consider it a PSA from 13-SEPT-2012.

The Perfect Gift
Everyone is looking for the perfect gift for their loved one. The best gift (other than your time) is providing for others. My brother and I started a tradition of donating to charity instead of giving gifts to one another.
If you are looking for a gift idea may I suggest:
The Season is the Season of giving. Please (if you are able) consider giving to this beautiful charity Scary Mommy Thanksgiving Project.
My Challenge: Tamara
Today I am so pleased to have Tamara willing to share her challenge. One all parents can relate to, for sure!
My Challenge: Managing Motherhood, Work & Anxiety.
