My oldest turns five in a few short days. Normally I am the calm and composed one. I don't cry at sentimental things that would be perfectly normal for anyone else to shed a tear over, but the thought...
My kids have probably said goodbye to more friends in their young lives than most people make in a lifetime—not because they have poor people skills, but because they have a parent whose job moves us all over the...
The crisp white linens of a hotel bed have never looked so delightful to me as the first time I traveled for work eight months after my daughter was born. I was going to SLEEP! In a bed. By...
So, your child isn't into baseball, basketball, soccer, flag football, or lacrosse? (Yes, San Antonio is home to at least one youth lacrosse league.) Maybe it’s her nature, his personality, he's just not ready, or she's just not coordinated...
"You're going to miss this someday." Does that statement bring on the eye rolls or what?
Remember that time you were out in public and your kids were acting like total beasts?
If you’re like me, you can probably recall dozens...
"Hey, Mom’s fallen out of a tree and can’t move."
It wasn’t exactly the kind of text I was expecting to receive at 7:30 on a Thursday night...or any other night, for that matter.

We've all been there: those days when you lose your keys, someone parks in your parking space, you run late for a meeting, you get your wrist slapped (figuratively) at work, you snap at your spouse, your toddler goes...
A friend of mine received some bad news recently and, like we all do, needed to vent. Social media was the easiest platform. She admitted she was venting and went on to share what was weighing her down.
And then...
Lately, my favorite mornings are those rare occasions in which I manage to roll myself out of bed in the first round of my alarm, dress as silently as possible, and make my way down the stairs with half-closed...
I work thirty hours a week, in three 10-hour days. It might not sound like a total work schedule dream come true, but it’s a pattern my family and I are settling into at the moment. I’m lucky enough...
It happened pretty much every time I took both of my children out in public together. I’d have them both strapped tightly in our stroller or shopping cart in a laughably futile attempt to keep their uproarious antics somewhat...
