20 Tips for Traveling with a Toddler
A very long time ago, in a land where babies didn't crawl or talk, I wrote a post about how to travel with an infant solo. The infant I was referring to in that article is now a full-blown human being. She talks, she eats more than just pureed carrots, and she has a...
Why I Hate Fake Eyelashes (plus a Younique giveaway!)
On my wedding day, almost exactly four years ago, I really went all out for my makeup. We had a makeup artist come to my parent's house, and one by one my bridesmaids, mother, and I were all put through plucking, pulling, air brushing, and last of all, fake...
5 Reasons Why I Breastfed My Daughter Until She Was 2
Many moons ago I posted about 5 rookie mistakes I made while breastfeeding, and it has been amazing to me to hear how many women have read that and related, or avoided similar mistakes since then. As it would turn out, saving my breastfeeding relationship with Cora...
The quest to get tan: Karora Self Tanning Products
A few months ago I was chatting with my friend from the Philippines, lamenting over my pale skin and how much of a hit my self-esteem took every time I looked at my Casper-esque legs. It's borderline embarrassing how much better I feel about myself when I'm...
Doc McStuffin’s Birthday Party for Doc Cora!
So Cora is now about to turn 2 1/2, but I couldn't help still sharing photos from her 2nd birthday party in January. We went with a Doc McStuffins birthday party theme, mainly because she kinda sorta liked the show on Disney Junior but she LOVES playing doctor....
Be gentle with yourself: BijaBody Herbal Beauty Tea
I read an article via Pinterest once that was 55 gentle ways to take care of yourself. The title really stuck out to me, simply because of the word gentle. Being a former student athlete, Type A, and the oldest child, I am not gentle with myself very often. My...
Optimism should always win.
Since being back in the States, I've begun working back in our office downtown full time again, which puts me in touch with very interesting people on a day to day basis. It's a short walk to the gym or to my car, but I almost always run into a fellow young...
The Problem with a Beauty Routine – plus a NeriumAD Giveaway!
Remember your beauty routine from high school? If you're like me, it basically didn't exist. I remember having a friend ask me what kind of face wash I used and I told her I just use Johnson and Johnson baby wash. Seriously. Flash forward 8 years (EIGHT?!) and my...
15 Ways to Raise an Awesome Kid
This is not an article about how I'm raising an awesome kid. I think Cora's pretty cool, but I also think it's only about 10% due to me, and more due to the fact that she just rocks. Rather, I want to talk about how my parents raised 6 kids and they all turned out...
Staying fit when you’re feeling frantic.
This week we traveled from Xalapa to Guadalajara so Orlando could have surgery. Everything went well, thank God, but we've been so crazy busy since then. Orlando, Cora, Frenchie, and myself have been staying in a hotel room along with ALL of our luggage juggling...
Liebster Award Nomination!
Blogging can often feel like shouting in a crowded room, so it's nice sometimes to slow down and connect with other writers. That's the spirit behind the Liebster Award, or at least it appears to be. I'm having a hard time tracking down the origins of this award,...
You have the key to my heart.
The other day on a walk with Cora, I stumbled upon an area of Xalapa I had never been to before. We were on our way to the park, and these odd looking tree sculptures were along the bridge near the lake. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were stuffed full with...
