It’s been a long time — over six months — since I’ve blogged. I could say that I’ve been busy, and that would be true, but it would also be an understatement. Every second of every day is allotted to something. If I’m not at home with my toddler, I’m out with her, running errands, […]

If I had a dollar for every time I googled “eating schedule” or “feeding schedule,” I’d probably be rich enough to pay for daycare for the next few years.

Since becoming a mom earlier this fall, I find myself with so many motherhood-related thoughts throughout the day, and yet, little to no place to put them all.
