7 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Family’s Carbon Footprint

June 19, 2020June 19, 2020 ~ Katie ~ Leave a comment

The thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

Climate change is real, … Continue reading 7 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Family’s Carbon Footprint

June 9, 2020June 9, 2020 ~ Katie ~ 1 Comment

A couple of mornings ago, my three-year-old convinced me to let him play with the 100-piece Iron Man puzzle he'd gotten as a hand-me-down from friends. It was 6:30 a.m., and I just wanted to drink some hot coffee in relative peace, so I obliged, knowing full well what a debacle this would inevitably turn … Continue reading Necessary Endings: Good Is Not Good Enough

But getting dressed has become a real chore lately. … Continue reading Summer Wardrobe Staples: Flattering & Comfy Styles for Moms

June 1, 2020July 6, 2020 ~ Katie ~ Leave a comment

I wake on a Saturday morning to the sound of my husband putting the coffee on. From the bedroom upstairs, I hear the gentle din of water dripping into the carafe mingled with muffled snippets of conversation between him and our 3-year old son. I can’t make out what they’re saying, but I presume the … Continue reading Is This Why You’re Angry All the Time?

The Secret to Cooking the Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg

May 27, 2020May 24, 2020 ~ Katie ~ Leave a comment

I’ll be the first to admit that my cooking skills are limited. In the summer, my family thrives on a rotating menu of tacos, takeout, and whatever meat my husband places on the grill racks above a smoldering pile of charcoal. Despite my lackluster skills in the kitchen, I’ve developed a precise method for making … Continue reading The Secret to Cooking the Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg

How Women Succeed at Work

May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 ~ Katie ~ 1 Comment

Shortly after graduating from college, I landed a job at a regional bank.  The position was essentially a year-long paid internship, and I spent the next 12 months bouncing from one department to the next in search of one to call home.  Ultimately, I settled into a role in commercial lending, and I stayed in … Continue reading How Women Succeed at Work

I don’t have a sweet tooth; I have about 30 of them. In my early twenties, I kept a box of Gobstoppers in my desk drawer so I could keep my blood sugar high as a kite all day long. Now that I’m 30-something, I’ve gained enough self-discipline to stave off my sugar cravings until … Continue reading Rip Van Wafels Review: My Honest Opinion

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: I never set out to be a stay-at-home mom. But with the kids' school closed until at least the end of May, I'm staring down the barrel of another few weeks sheltering in place with my kids.
