Self Care

Why You Need Mom Friends + How to Make Them
I remember the first day Tomas went to work after we moved to Washington. I woke up, got the boys dressed, got myself dressed, made some breakfast, tidied up a bit... and wondered what the heck we were going to do living here.

Teacher Gift: Lunch Certificate

Not one. single. thing. Because of my lack of winning in the mom department let me take a moment to send a formal apology to all of my kids teachers for the lack of preparation. I will do my best to have them there on time...at least for the first month week. Teachers are the best aren't they? I mean seriously, they put up with moms like and me and definitely do not get thanked enough for all that I do. Last year I started a fun ... READ MORE >>
