Celebrating Houston Independent Bookstores
Tumblr media
In our world of online shopping, one-click purchasing, and two day shipping, it’s easy to avoid going into an actual store altogether. Pull up at the curb and have my groceries brought out? Have toys, books, household goods, even clothes delivered to my door step? Yes, please! Convenience is a busy mama’s best friend. However, sometimes […]

Mommy Friendships with a Twist of Sobriety
Tumblr media
It started in our preschool days. Overwhelmed moms standing in pick up lines, dreaming of a night out with adults :: no potty training, no bedtime routines, just a glass of wine and a conversation. This sounds like a dream come true to most exhausted young parents, but to the mom who is newly sober, […]

On Humility :: A Mother Brags About Befriending Monsters and Lying to Her Children
Tumblr media
When my son was three years old, he became friends with a fly.  This story doesn’t end well. Not knowing the strong {very real} attachment my toddler had developed for the insect in the mere 75 seconds he had known it, I ended the creature’s life without a second thought {and a hell of a […]

Earth Day, Every Day :: Three {Not So Easy} Steps to Save the Planet
Tumblr media
Whether or not you keep up with the news, you’ve probably heard that we only have 12 years to save the planet. The global consensus within the scientific community is clear and well- backed :: the earth is warming at a faster rate than ever before and it’s because of us.  I’ve always liked the […]

Mom Rules Were Made to Be Broken
Tumblr media
‘They‘ say don’t do this and ‘They‘ say don’t do that. Who are these ‘Theys’ and who voted that we should listen to them? As part of my mommy-hood journey, I have found that I should stop listening to the ‘Theys’ and listen to my inner animalistic need to raise this child how I want […]

The Lazy Moms Guide to Going Green
Tumblr media
They say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. In my case, it’s paved with reusable grocery bags! I tried so many times to be the kind of superwoman who remembers to bring grocery bags with me to the store, but 9 times out of 10 I would forget. Then I would […]

My 13 Year Old Called Me Out on My Parenting, and It was Just What I Needed
Tumblr media
Having a newborn means sleepless nights, round-the-clock feedings and worrying about why the baby is crying.  I wished that I could say to all new parents that it will get easier, but it doesn’t. Honestly, the newborn stage was the easy part for me. As my kids get older I continue to have restless nights […]

My Husband Got a Vasectomy :: Coming to Terms With Being Done
Tumblr media
Sometimes I look for two pink lines.  Sometimes I feel phantom kicks that I hope are real.  Sometimes I hope that a day late means more than it does.  But, last September, my husband put the final nail in our family building journey by getting snipped. It was a decision that we both made {at […]

Redemption and Hope :: Reflections on Notre-Dame
Tumblr media
Like so many others, I spent Monday glued to the news, watching the extensive coverage of the devastating fire of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. Like so many others, my heart hurt to see so much history burn to ash. And like so many others, I went in search of and found a picture […]

The Reality of “The Family Photo Shoot” and Why it Matters
Tumblr media
Spring has sprung and bluebonnet season is upon us! It’s the time of year we think of deep cleaning, new beginnings, and probably a bit of redecorating. The photos on the wall are a few years old, and you have the itch to gather all of your motherly strength together in preparation for yet another […]

We Were Once Slaves Too:: Why Passover is Such a Significant Jewish Holiday
Tumblr media
  When I was a little girl, Passover was just another Jewish holiday to me. Like most kids, I had a one-track mind. And so, each year when my family sat down for the traditional Seder meal {a Jewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of Passover}, all I could think about was finding the […]
