We went to Immediate Care last week. (As an update, this is an old post. A saved in drafts. But, it's still relevant and I'm working on being a better blogger, so it's worth the post. 😉 ) Nora Noodle was chasing Harper, as per usual, and Harper closed the door behind her when rushing … Continue reading Pinched.

Tribes.
Tribes. It's a new thing. Who is your tribe? Where are your people? If I can tell you just one thing about your people, here's what I will tell you: they aren't always who you might think they'd be. My people are very, very different. My circle is...well rounded #MomsHaveJokesToo. I learned a very important … Continue reading Tribes.
Enough.
Ya'll, I've been tired lately. Like in my bones tired. Do you know that feeling? That one where your mind is basically running marathons all day without the refreshment of adorable cheerleaders with tiny water cups? I'm there, friend. I've been working that hustle recently, more so than usual. A little more work project, a little … Continue reading Enough.
KondoMom.
Okay, show of hands, who has watched this Tidying Up with Marie Kondo show on Netflix? Yes, me too. Just episode one, so far. And aside from deciding I have to thank everything in my garage before putting it in contractor bags, and that bag of salad that I bought over a week ago with … Continue reading KondoMom.
Align(ed).
Last year, I chose the word "align" to focus on for 2018. After 2017, the year of vulnerability (WOOF, I had a vulnerability hangover 300% of the time) - I wanted to take that soul dumping year of really leaning into how I felt/wanted/needed, and turn it into aligning my actions with it. After a … Continue reading Align(ed).
Breathing@Christmas.
Dear One, The holidays are a special time for so many - the magic, the beauty, the expectation, the excitement. A time for peace, love, and cherished moments. But this letter is not for them. This letter is for you. This letter is for those that can’t find the magic. Those that sit at beautifully … Continue reading Breathing@Christmas.
Apologizing.
In packing up our old apartment to move into our then-new house (now it's the old house, more on that later), I was running through the to-do list with my best friend. In this very simple, not super meaningful conversation, she just happened to say something that played right into my well protected pile of … Continue reading Apologizing.
Quiet&Calm.
Harper has always been shy. Some people find it off-putting, some people just think she's rude. Either way, I do my very best not to ask her to be different, and to teach her that strength does not always roar. Sometimes, she struggles with feeling like she's hidden in the background (a longstanding struggle of … Continue reading Quiet&Calm.
Kayla.
Hi, friend! I'm Kayla. I've been working on knowing how to introduce myself with something other than my roles in life. To be honest, it's still a challenge. Maybe I'll start with that and work my way in? In no particular order. Mama. My tiny humans are the beat of my heart. Harper is seven … Continue reading Kayla.
Known.
Hi, Love. Welcome to a safe place. Maybe you're here because you're a dear friend of mine (bless your sweet heart). Maybe you're here because you've seen the posts about my children and you're in to hear more about the she(s) to my nanigans. Maybe you're here because you're hoping to connect with another Mama … Continue reading Known.
