I love talking to my fellow married moms and dads who just totally…get it. I think some marriages fall apart because they put the importance of percentages and equality into everything. 1. “Well, I took out the trash yesterday, he should do it today…” 2. “It’s not my job to...
In 2014, I had 7 friends end their marriages. SEVEN. All with multiple kids. To the world, it’s just 7 more numbers to add to a statistic, but to me, it’s heartbreaking and it SUCKS. All seven told me the same thing. The main culprit that killed it all: Lack...
6 years ago 7 year ago, Mike and I were typing out our birth plan and I had my giant suitcase packed ready to leave the house at 5:30am to get induced at 7am. Josh was getting too big and if I wanted to have him naturally, it had to...
We had left Josh with my parents to do some shopping for Matty who wasn’t due for another 2.5 weeks and went to Costco. There I pigged out on a pizza and a hotdog. But nooooooooooooooooo, that wasn’t enough to fill my appetite so we found ourselves in the drive...

At Stater Bros: Cashier: Three cases of beer! You having a party? Kathy: Nope. It’s for my beer fridge. Bagger: That’s awesome. I want one of those. Lady behind me: She also has 2 small boys so that’s plenty reason enough to drink good beer. Let me guess, 4 and...
When I fell down and hurt my ankle a few months ago while on a family hike, Josh and Matty immediately rushed over to me. Josh got down and sweetly started rubbing my leg soothing me and Matty kept on asking me if I was ok in his sweet little...
