For kicks and giggles, I’m listing a few of my favorite things that helped make quarantine life a little brighter. 

We are 2 for 2 when it comes to sleep-training success so I’m here to share our experiences for any other parent(s) who may need a nudge. I wrote a “dummy’s guide” after we did it with H and I’ve tweaked it to include the alternate method we used with Sky. 

To help new parents avoid what we call "stuff overwhelm," we decided to break it down to the essential must-haves. 

I hopped on a Zoom happy hour the other day. It was organized as a surprise for a coworker who was about to go on leave in preparation for her sec...

I hear the phrase “You’ve been through a lot” often. And weirdly a part of my brain is wired to say no, and to deny this fact. “Everyone’s had a tough year,” I think. But, when I list all the things that have happened to us in 2020, it helps me come to terms with yes, we HAVE been through a lot.
