I have many hopes and dreams for my children. It’s why I work hard each day to give them a life that I could only dream of having as a child. These boys want for nothing. It’s a great feeling for me, but I also worry about the flip side…
My boys are incredibly precious to me. Everyday, thank God that we’ve always been in a position to meet the needs of our boys. While pregnant with Caleb, I learned that one in three American families deal with “diaper need.” It’s not an issue that gets as much attention in…
I miss in-person giggles and hugs, but I am still 100% here for virtual celebrations and gatherings. There. I said it. When we hosted a Zoom call for Carson’s 1st birthday, I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about celebrating milestones on video versus in-person. However, as time has rolled…
Here we are. Ten months into COVID-19 and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Pre-pandemic, I was not the biggest traveler. But, all I do now is think about trips that I want to take. It doesn’t help that we’re rethinking our plans to go to Jamaica…

Motherhood has taught me many lessons. Among them is the fact that kids will outgrow clothes in the blink of an eye. It’s a blessing that my boys have more clothes than they need. When they can no longer fit something, I decide if I want to save it or donate…
Instagram has put me up on so many fabulous people, products and businesses. One of my favorite finds has been Scratch Goods. In addition to selling a line of natural, food-grade skincare products, they also operate a mask bar in their West Loop shop. Sign. Me. Up.
