I remember the first time he hit me. It was an open-handed slap to my left cheek that hit me with such force it made my ears ring. I remember stumbling backwards, holding my stinging face, shocked that a man I thought I loved had struck me with such rage. But that blow wasn’t the […]

Help for Moms with Picky Eaters + Giveaway! #Enfagrow #ad
Since my two year old fights me daily about drinking his milk, I was excited when Enfagrow asked me to be a part of this sponsored post program. My son nursed until 12 months old, and after a short transition period, he was on whole milk exclusively. When I switched to skim milk after his […]
Progressively Loosen Your Curls with @Aveda #AvedaNaturallyStraight #ad

I’m here! Focusing on the business of blogging at #TypeACon
I didn’t get a manicure. Or a pedicure. I didn’t cut and color my hair. I don’t have costumes picked out for the parties. I don’t even know what the parties are (except for the #DisneySide party because…well…It’s Disney). My clothes aren’t new. My shoes are utilitarian. BUT I’M HERE at Type A Parent Conference! […]
