Theme Parks With Kids: Magically Exhausting!
Unless you’re down with parents-only trips, vacations once you have kids just aren’t quite as relaxing. Peaceful nights of sleep and late breakfasts are replaced with kids who can’t sleep in strange places and breakfast at the crack of dawn. Relaxation on the beach is replaced with making sure your kids don’t eat... Continue reading
Do You Have Unhealthy Habits You Hide From Your Kids?
Over on Fit Bottomed Girls recently, I asked if cigarettes had any place in healthy lifestyle. It came to mind when I learned that Gwyneth Paltrow allows herself one cigarette a week as a guilty pleasure.

So while my hubby sometimes buys me a bouquet of flowers, more often than not I request that we go buy flowers... Continue reading

Yesterday I promised potty training tips for other parents on the long road to dryness. It’s probably my least favorite part of the stage we’re in—worse even than tantrums.

A Reminder That You’re More Beautiful Than You Think

The idea that we’re all beautiful no matter our shape, size or age is aligned bang-on with our FBG mission. So when Tish posted this video recently, I knew I had to share. If you haven’t already seen it,... Continue reading
Skating With a Stroller: It Can Be Done!
Most of my workouts lately are more about play and less about getting to the gym and sweating it up. My weekdays have been filled up with daycare/my work and kid exchanges, so I haven’t had the free blocks of time like I used to to get to the gym with the kids. And when I do have free time? It seems like someone is dripping profusely... Continue reading
Baby-Wearing Gets Funky and Fashionable: The BabyHawk Mei Tai
I’m a big proponent of baby-wearing. Strapping my kids onto me saved my sanity many times. Like those times when the baby screams the moment you even act like you might be thinking about putting him or her down. Or those times when you really, really need to get something done but, again, the whole screaming thing. There are so many... Continue reading

Now that we’re slowly getting rid of the endless stream of colds and flu and awfulness that have plagued our house since January, I can feel allergies kicking into gear.
