This is my 4th Mother’s Day, so I’m thinking about my mom goals for the year. It’s still rather hard for me to imagine that Rocco is almost four, but at the same time, it’s getting more difficult to remember my married life before kids. Sure, I have strong memories of my childhood and early…
With Memorial Day right around the corner, May is a great month to find a lot of deals. Hit the stores early in May for sales on spring clothing, as retailers are trying to make more room for summer clothing. You can still find good prices on small kitchen appliances and May is also a…

All opinions are mine alone. #DinnerOnDemand #CollectiveBias When Barilla asked me to create a simple, one-pan recipe for this time-strapped millennial, I was up for the challenge. It can be such a struggle to prepare a healthy and nutritious dinner on demand most…
I travel a lot for work, which I really enjoy. The only downfall of traveling a lot, besides not seeing my kids for several days, is the lack of routine that comes with traveling. It can be hard to eat right and exercise while on the road, but it is not impossible. Recently, I was…
My absolute favorite salad is a pear and gorgonzola salad with a light lemon vinaigrette dressing. I recently had lunch with friends at one of our favorite lunch spots, Postino, and after having their mixed green salad, I knew I had to try to replicate it on my own. This pear and gorgonzola salad is…
It’s already in the 90s in Phoenix, so our pool is becoming more and more tempting. I generally like to find a new swimsuit every summer. It almost feels like a rite of passage, like it signals the true start of summer or something. Where to Find Great Deals on Swimsuits I’m always on the…
We moved our kids into the same bedroom last weekend. With a brother and sister sharing a room for the first time, you could probably imagine this week has been very long for everyone. Yes, some of the reasons why this transition has been a little trying may be obvious, but others may not. Why…

Why Do We Need an Alternative to the Margarita? We started thinking about what would be a nice alternative to the margarita because Cinco De Mayo is around the corner. It’s a relatively big deal here in Arizona. The Mexican celebration of the Battle of Puebla has been effectively appropriated into an eating and drinking…
Thanks for the visit DC! 💕 It was fun to get a glimpse of the Cherry Blossom Fest, even if I missed the actual blooms. #DC #traveltuesday #ttot #tmom A photo posted by Stacey Freeman (@poshinprogress) on Apr 12, 2016 at 4:54pm PDT Last week, I had the opportunity to experience Washington DC in springtime. I’ve…
Developing My Target Shopping Hacks We probably spend way too much time and money at Target. My son, for instance, uses Target as his imaginary destination whenever he hops on his little tricycle. “Bye Mom, I’m going to Target!” The little dude is already branded. Sheesh. However, because we enjoy shopping there so much, I’ve…
It can be a struggle to find the perfect pink lipstick for your skin tone. Every time I visit a makeup counter, I feel overwhelmed by the number of lipsticks they offer. How in the heck do you know which shade is going to be right for you? And who has the time to try on…
Raising Siblings to be Friends Siblings play together, without a parent around, from the beginning, right? Wrong! I had no clue how long it would take. I am so grateful my kids are finally there. I mean, finally! Yay! It seems like it’s been forever. I had no idea just how tough it would be…
Fear of the Pencil Skirt Finding a pencil skirt that works for me is a tall order. I usually stick to A-line because they tend to be more flattering on my lower body. Pencil skirts tend to pull in all the wrong places and draw attention where I’d rather not have it. Why a Pencil…
