This post was sponsored by Kraft Heinz, but the opinions are my own. As a working mom, my weekends are when I get the most quality time with my kids. The rest of the week, I constantly feel like I’m managing their requests and time so strictly that I have to say no a lot….
I never expected my kids to love moving to Boston as quickly or as much as they do. Growing up in Wisconsin, I guess I forgot to consider just how much I loved the four seasons as a kid. I loved splashing in puddles, I love playing in the snow, and I spent every waking hour…

I’m usually pretty confident in my appearance, but one thing that’s been bothering me for several years are the age spots on the face. I have a few distinct spots on each of my cheeks and one on my left temple. These age spots really bother me, so much that I’ve tried a lot of things to…

All opinions are mine alone. #TimeWithAveeno #CollectiveBias Ladies, is there any worse hairdo than when you’re growing out bangs? Seriously, it feels like a bad hair day almost every day. It is unnecessarily painful because you feel like you look like you haven’t…
I get anxious a lot. Since having kids, it’s gotten much worse. I think all of the jugglings of the daily tasks has turned me into a much tenser person. This increased anxiety is not good for me, my kids or my marriage. It makes all of us stressed and on edge. This week, I…
You guys – this Boston weather has me desperately needing to revamp my fall wardrobe. I don’t have enough fall clothes, but I also don’t have a proper commuting wardrobe. Namely, I don’t have proper footwear. I’m in desperate need of booties for fall. Last week, I was wearing heels, and I totally wiped out…
It’s 5:00 am on Saturday morning. My eyes snap open as I sense someone is staring at me. It’s my two preschoolers, poking me, whispering in the softest voice, “is it time to get up mommy?” I want to scream at them, “go back to sleep!” but instead I roll out of bed, blurry-eyed and…
Can you believe Christmas is less than 3 months away? I can’t believe fall is already here and I have so much to do to get ready for the holidays.

Who else is excited about pumpkin spice recipes? It’s the most pumpkiny time of the year! Now that I live in Boston, I’m really looking forward to the fall. It’s been more than 15 years since I lived in WI and could experience the gorgeous fall leaves. I’ve heard fall in Boston is gorgeous, so I’m…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. Relocation is tough on everyone. Moving with kids is a particular challenge; both for you and for your children. Us grown-ups have our own hassles, but for kids, the process of moving across the country, leaving everything they’ve known, being thrown into a situation…
Now that I live in Boston, I actually have to think about fall clothing. Living in Phoenix, I didn’t break sweaters until November at the earliest. But our first week in Boston, it was only in the 60s (40s in the AM!), so let’s just say I need to hurry up and get some new…
