How It Started VS How Its Going With 3 Under 5

How It Started VS How Its Going With 3 Under 5

Whenever I am asked if having three kids is hard, I say it is a lot, but in a good way. The hardest adjustment for me, if I am being honest, was going from having no children to having one. This sounds insane to anyone, except people with two children. Going from not being a mother to being a mother to a human child is a monumental lifestyle change, but having a second child didn’t feel like a giant leap.…

5 Best Beach Reads

5 Best Beach Reads

I was MIA last week taking a much needed beach trip with my family. It was long overdue, and I had almost forgotten how blissful it feels to read a book by the ocean. A corner has been turned in our family, as I am able to read a little bit now while my kids play in the surf (whilst keeping many an eye of course). With summer fast approaching, I figured now is as good a time as any…

The Best Womens History Month Books For Kids

In honor of Women’s History Month, I’m sharing some of my kid’s favorite women’s history books, as well as some new finds and recommendations that I will be ordering to update their library.

In Two

In Two

My daughter Raquel turns two today. The duality of every thought and feeling about today is unshakable. It was both the fastest and the slowest two years. She is my third child, so the first year seemed to fast forward amidst the hustle of our lives, while the second year seemed to move in slow motion during quarantine and our now diluted days.…

5 Favorite Wines

Happy National Drink Wine Day! If you have a bottle you’ve been saving but the occasion hasn’t quite arisen thanks to the pandemic, tonight is the night to pop a cork and toast to the nectar of the gods itself. One of my fondest travel porn memories will always be touring Napa with my best friend from college. I need to get back there. For now, sipping a glass on the couch just relaxing and watching my murder shows will…

Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese

Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese

We are snowed in over here, and if you are too, you might be looking for that perfect comfort winter dish that will warm you right up. This recipe is one  all three of my children happily eat, and I call that a win at my house. I made this dish up because I had bought beef chuck to make stew and my husband reminded me that he does not like stew, and because he is a meat snob, he…

How I Finally Trained Myself To Sleep On My Back

How I Finally Trained Myself To Sleep On My Back

Taking better care of my skin was my New Year’s Resolution last year, and while I was not able to to get regular facials due to the pandemic, I did manage to implement one big lifestyle change to that end (or should I say, lifelong process). Shortly after I had my last baby, I made it a personal wellness goal to train myself to sleep on my back. I had become set on sleeping on my left side, as it…
