Sometimes, life gets ahead of me. Even now, when I’m home and able to plan my days (essentially) however I want, I don’t find the time to sit and write and publish. I have been writing (did you see my post on Bonbon Break called Nails, Mascara and Other Reasons I Won’t Unfriend You on…
Preschooler
Who You Will Become
We registered Cameron for Kindergarten this past week. In all the big things and transitions of parenting, this is one of those monumental milestones. Or, at least it feels that way to my husband. He’s feeling a little overwhelmed by this whole new stage. Suddenly, we have a kid who isn’t so little anymore. We have someone who is…
The Importance of Reading with Kids and a Disney Baby Giveaway

Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to a 3 Year Old
{Written yesterday, on Cameron’s third birthday} Three. I feel like we have been on the precipice of three for a long time now, you and me. You have always been “almost 3” but never ever 3, it seemed. Until today. Today we woke up together and you were three and I was a Mom to…
