A few weeks back on my way home from my girl's trip, I watched Life of the Party on the plane. It was pretty funny, so I made Ryan watch it when I got home because we have a habit of watching the same like 3 shows over and over again - mostly because we … Continue reading Life of the Party: Movie Review-ish

mom vacations
I was recently able to go on my weekend long excursion to see my "mom friends" as I like to call them.

A celeb went viral a few months ago for a post he made about parenting. In it, you could see his 4 year old throwing a fit at the store and he was letting her work through it. Rather than forcing her to do anything, he was just letting her work through her feelings … Continue reading Toddler tantrums and an entitled society
