See the Places Barack and Michelle Called Home Before the White House Until recently, Barack and Michelle Obama have proudly called 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue "home."

Moms, You're Never Too Old to Go Back to School

Moms, You're Never Too Old to Go Back to School

After staying at home with my two small children for over two years, I wanted more. I loved taking care of my kids, but a huge part of me felt tired, complacent, and honestly, unfulfilled. My days were spent doing things like laundry, reading Dr. Seuss, and making casseroles for dinner. Being a stay-at-home mom is a full-time job and a really hard one at that, but I knew I needed more.

7 Things Your Partner Should Never Ask You to Do

7 Things Your Partner Should Never Ask You to Do

A great partner holds certain qualities like being supportive, loving, trustworthy, and above all, they let you be you.

The Number 1 Mistake That I Made at My Wedding

The Number 1 Mistake That I Made at My Wedding

In the five years since my nearly-perfect wedding, I’ve had a lot of time to think about that day. While there is no doubt that I would do some things differently today, mostly because some styles have changed, at the time everything felt right. From the dress to my DIY flowers, it was a great way to capture in time who my husband and I were then. This is why I still get frustrated when I think…

After Years of Searching, I Finally Found the Perfect Jeans For My Pear-Shaped Frame

After Years of Searching, I Finally Found the Perfect Jeans For My Pear-Shaped Frame

Shopping for jeans is not usually my idea of a good time. My bottom-heavy body type often means that finding denim that fits (and isn’t several hundred dollars) is about as easy as climbing Mt. Everest. Fine, that’s a bit dramatic, but it’s rough. If a pair happens to fit me like a glove in the leg and butt area, it almost always leaves a massive gap at the waistline. On the other hand, if a…

I'm a Mom Who Smokes Weed, and My No. 1 Fear Is My Family Finding Out

I smoked weed for the first time when I was in high school. Growing up in the south, I knew that it wasn’t something you wanted your parents to ever find out, but looking back, I really wish I would have been able to talk about it with my family. Even as a teenager, I never understood why weed was so stigmatized and frowned upon by all the adults in my life, but that was my reality growing up…
