When Parenting & Your Self-Identity Intersect

September 15, 2017 by Megan Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Seattle's Best Coffee. All opinions are 100% mine. The first day of school was a complete success for us. The kids were excited, yet there was a sense of calm. Closing the book on another summer is always bittersweet. I can't help but to think, as Quinn turns nine next month, that we are halfway through our summers with him. Man! Just writing that sentence creates a sick feeling in the pitt of my stomach. Despite knowing that, I ...

Handmade Keepsake Jewelry Dish & Gift and Parenting

March 3, 2017 by Megan Leave a Comment

Parenting always feels hard. Everyday you question if you gave them enough attention. Wonder if you were too hard on one. Think there is a good chance you lost your cool way too many times.

I just couldn't seem to figure out how to address the behavior. Like all things in my life, I knew it was up to me to find an answer and be ...

My Why

September 6, 2016 by Megan Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, I had a toddler and newborn baby and my husband came home to me "playing" on the computer while the toddler played and I bounced the baby in the bouncy chair. When he asked me what I was doing, I told him I was starting a blog. I wasn't sure what that meant or what exactly I was doing or even why. Looking back, I can see that I was searching for some sort of identity outside of being a mom--something that was just for me. I had quit my job as a teacher and was home all ...
