VIDEO: I Get My Husband To Explain How You Can Get Your Husband To Help Out Around The House More Often

A couple comments on yesterday's Facebook post got me thinking about the women who feel like they are single moms even though they've got a husband. The "single married moms" are everywhere (I used to kinda sorta consider myself one) and they are angry, full of resentment. Marriage is not what they thought it would be. I know, because I used to be there. But over time, my husband and I have … [Continue reading...]

{Giveaway} 4 Free KidFresh Frozen Kids Meals

When I grocery shop now, I usually stick to the perimeter of the store—produce, meat, dairy, and bread. I look for items that don't have a ton of ingredients, or at least ones that I can pronounce. Consequently, I don't find quick meals for my kids. All the ones I find in the stores are filled with sodium, weird ingredients or way too much fat. To top it off, they're usually just bland! The … [Continue reading...]

How does a lack of patience affect how you are as a mother, a wife, an … [Continue reading...]

{Student Mama} Just Let Me Graduate Already

I've reached that point I think every students hits at some point or another—Am I ever going to graduate and be done with this degree??????? Originally, I wanted to graduate in May 2012. It's a standard two-year program, so why not? Then since it looked like I wouldn't have my thesis done on time, I pushed it to August. Then December 2012. Now my advisor is thinking it's best if I take my … [Continue reading...]

Love, Happiness, Kids – Choose Two

And so is the tagline for the new-ish movie, Friends With Kids. In it, two best friends decide that, instead of waiting to get married and inevitably have their marriage ruined by kids like their friends have, they dive right in and have kids together, figuring it's better to have a baby with your best friend versus a partner. This way, they reason, you can separate the messy stuff (changing … [Continue reading...]

Looking For The Spark In A Relationship Filled With Little Kids

I miss dating. On our first date (wow, eight years ago), it was a BIG DEAL. We were infatuated with each other, always touching each other in some way. Our physical connection didn't need to be nurtured—it just was. We loved lounging around on the couch, his head in my lap, our hands entwined. We held hands as we drove somewhere and hugged each other with intention whenever we saw each other … [Continue reading...]
