Starting, Birthdays & Cancer

February 4, 2016 by Megan 11 Comments

Sometimes you just have to start. That is where I am right now. Somewhere in the craziness of life, I lost touch with this blog over the last few weeks. My computer was broken. I have a new baby. I have four kids. We are all sick now. I spend literally all day in the kitchen making, eating and cleaning up food (because eating real food is a lot of work!). Loving this recipe from Inspiralized The reasons go on and on. I have had so many ideas swirling in my head and when I couldn't find ...

Finding Our New Normal

August 12, 2014 by Megan Leave a Comment

Yesterday, post workout, I stopped by Target childless. It was magnificent and I might just keep hitting the gym if it means trips to Target by myself. While I was there I picked up a container for Quinn's lunch. He will be starting Kindergarten on September 2. When I was a kid kindergarten was half day and maybe in some places it still is. Here, it is all day, which means lunch. I also saw two books about kindergarten on the end cap as I walked by and thought they would be a good way to get ...

That Time I Gave Parenting Advice on the Internet

June 7, 2014 by Megan 24 Comments

Lately it seems my personal Facebook feed is blowing up with parents desperate for solutions and advice to various parenting woes. Conversations with friends have revolved around the kids and as we head into summer, I'm sure a lot of parents are beginning to brace themselves. I have spent my entire life working with children. I'm the oldest of four, began babysitting for neighbors in middle school, worked as a camp counselor over the summers, was a teacher assistant in a preschool class in ...

Burned Out

February 3, 2014 by Megan 19 Comments

Hopefully, by the time this post goes live it will be a different story. If you walked in my house right now you would trip over a pile of shoes, step in a puddle from melted snow and then tiptoe your way through the living room. The living room with a floor covered with baby toys and the surfaces are covered with every other kind of toy. Since we have to worry about Hudson choking and Hudson cannot reach the couch, entertainment unit, desk, ottomans-- you get it. Mess everywhere. It ...

Five Years, Five Things

October 7, 2013 by Megan 8 Comments

Yesterday Quinn turned 5! I had a really hard time letting go of yesterday. There may have even been tears. When I was snuggling Quinn in bed he finally said, "Mom, when are you going to let go of me?" He meant the excessive squeezing and hugging, but I couldn't help but to think of that question in another way. Man is letting go hard. Five just feels so damn old. He isn't a baby or toddler--he is a boy. It kind of hurts. I didn't expect to feel this way. Quinn is so special. I know every ...
