Dinnertime used to be the hardest part of my day. But with this solution, my hungry dinner stress is gone!

How I Eliminated Dinnertime Stress

September 15, 2017 by Laura 9 Comments

Since having kids, dinnertime has been a super stressful part of the day.  I don't know what it is about the five o'clock hour that makes children a little bonkers, but I think it's fairly common.  The kiddos are extra needy and demanding when I'm trying to prep dinner.  Compound that with the fact that I hate cooking and absolutely despise having to come up with meal ideas and ...

How to be an Organized Mom

August 28, 2017 by Laura 9 Comments

I'm a list-maker. Always have been. I make detailed grocery lists, and epic to-do lists and lofty goal lists. But often those lists go unread by other members of the family, *cough* husband *cough*, and things get forgotten. And then I get frustrated. Can you relate?

A Day in the Life of a Work at Home Mom

August 24, 2017 by Laura 5 Comments

When I tell people that I work from home the standard response I get is "Oh that must be so nice!".  I have to smile and say that it's lovely but the reality of my days is far different from what people must think.
