Aubrey, It is hard to believe that two years ago, I was in labor with you right now. We had a long fight for you to come meet us, didn’t we? It was a little bumpy at first but once you were up and out of that hospital, you were ready to go little girl! […]

Keeping Kids Safe with the Launch of SafeSocial
While my children are obviously too young to be online and chatting it up with friends on Facebook or in chat rooms, my two little brothers are entering the 5th and 6th Grade this year and LOVE exploring online. It’s crazy watching all the things they already know how to do online but I also […]
Daydreaming and Everything in between
The other day I found old poems I wrote back in high school. I would always scribble here and there. As I look at them, I remember how much my life has put me through but at the same time, it’s made me who I am today. I truly am a hopeless romantic. I hope […]

Drop and Go Delivery Service-My Blog Is MY JOB.
While when we lived in Ames, we had various issues when packages were delivered, we had an overall great experience with our delivery service workers. We LOVED our UPS driver who was always chipper.

I often see tons of breastfeeding moms online and offline. When I was pregnant with Kelsie, I was nervous but decided yes I wanted to breastfeed her. I prepped myself trying to learn as much as I could and even had the papers ready to rent a pump when she was born. Well, I sucked. […]

What Would You Do With A Mommy Makeover?
