As we plan our annual summer vacation later in June, I can’t help but recall all the travel tips and tricks that have helped us make road trips and flights easy and stress-free with our daughter in tow. Whether she was a baby or a toddler, schlepping her around was easy-peasy because we devoured books

I don’t quite know where to begin this post…. How do I adequately write about a weekend shared with someone I’ve long admired; a woman who, unbeknownst to her, has acted as a mentor-on-paper? And to top it off, to have shared the whole experience with friends normally…

Do you like pizza? I kind of love it. Going gluten-free (or mostly gluten-free) meant we needed to go without pizza. It didn’t take long after eating a few slices when I’d feel all stomach-achey and horrible awful the next day. The

So, Mothers Day. I had to make breakfast for everyone. The boys couldn’t get along and kept bonking each other on the head. My husband took us to the mall to have me pick out a gift for his mother . Lunch was rushed, we were late to meet with the in-laws, and dinner at the restaurant …
