I’m not really sure if that’s a motherhood quote, but I really and truly think it should be.

Can you relate?

How do you let go of the ever elusive PERFECT?

Come tell me — teach me — at Everyday Family! See you there!

The good, the bad, the sad, the messy, and of course the golden.

I wrote about two moments at Moonfrye today — one messy, and one golden.

Come hold them close with me there.

Thank you. Truly.

But I can’t afford it, so I’m in love with this diy version!

Come see how (Easily! Cheaply! And beautifully!) it can be done at allParenting and tell me what word you’d create for your home in this lovely, creative way!

See you there!

It’s always when I watch them do something on their own, something I can’t fix or flex or smooth, that I sit with my fingers crossed that they’ll be okay. That they’ll be strong. That they’ll go for it. And that they’ll shine.

I had the amazing opportunity to interview Lisa Ling about her goal to make girls — my girls, your girls — unstoppable.

Her work on this campaign is inspiring and important. Come see what it’s about and let me know how you’ll make your girl confident, and unstoppable.

Because if there’s one thing we should all work on together, it’s this HeartWork of building up our girls. Let’s agree to take care of them, together.

Extra chocolate at the bottom of an ice cream sundae

A nap that lasts longer than you expected

Rainbow sightings (*by a three year old)

Pushing through that extra mile

A snow day.

I’m beyond honored to have my first blog up on Mamalode Magazine today!

They published my first story in a print magazine in February, and today one of my favorite — and most humbling — pieces is live on their beautiful new site.

Please come visit me there. Mamalode writing is raw, transparent, and real. It’s meant to leave you changed. I know with every fiber of my being that you’ll fall in love there.

Thank you for making me feel like I can write in this way. xo

In front of 503 people.

Into a microphone.

Did I mention the 503 people?

Beforehand, I was TERRIFIED.

And after?

You’ll have to read about the how and the why and allofthefeelings that I had about it at Everyday Family today.

This one means the world to me, and I’d so, so love to see you there!

Thank you. Truly.

Your kids must.

Come see how how it’s done at Moonfrye!

See you there, wipes in hand!

It changed the way I think about and speak to my kids.

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Ashley Merryman, one of Nurture Shock‘s, authors about why kids lie.

Nurture Shock‘s brain-based suggestions for how to respond to lying kids is sure to surprise you.

I’m dying to share what I learned with you. So come on over to allParenting and let’s dish about lies. See you there!

I love the idea of pampering the moms I love with this:

A diy homemade milk bath recipe that’s luxurious and rich, and made with just three (natural!) ingredients! Love!

Come see how to make this at allParenting, then make one for you and one for a mom friend you think could use some pampering, too!
