While we emerged victorious as a stronger happier married couple, with now a second baby on the way, we still have our moments. We are riddled with anxiety on the additional responsibilities that come with a growing family, the financial worries, the preparations that need to be made, and our careers. I have been taking… Continue reading Married with Kids: Part IV- Pre- Baby Number 2

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it… Continue reading Married with Kids: Part III- Post-Baby/ Battle of the Spouses

Before children, our relationship had its normal rough patches. ME: You spend too much time with your friends. HIM: You’re a homebody. ME: You chew tobacco, its gross, you need to quit. HIM: You spend too much money. As a couple, it can be a struggle to grow together. When we were finishing graduate school,… Continue reading Married with Kids: Part II-Pre-Baby

While writing “Dearest Husband,” I spent a lot of time reflecting on my marriage, my role as a spouse, particularly my flaws and imperfections. Yes, yes, I am not perfect. (Surprise, Surprise!) I make mistakes. I have habits my husband hates. I leave cups upstairs in our bedroom (usually coffee cups half full of coffee,… Continue reading Married with Kids: Part I- The Introduction

It is easy to overlook the efforts of a spouse in the whirlwind we call life. Just the other day, after a long stressful weekend, I felt like I slaved the evening away cleaning the house up. Little things that my husband does started to wear on me. Example, my hubs usually takes on the… Continue reading Dearest Husband

Well,… Continue reading Mama the Pack Mule, Part Two

Meaning some days I have so much energy and can tackle a TON of housework, work-work, and everything in between AND stay… Continue reading Toot your own horn, you deserve it!

The Mom: The Myth, The Legend.................And the Pack Mule? First let me mention, I saw a meme online the yesterday. It read something to the effect that marriage vows should contain a passage that the wife should accept the fact that the husband will never be able to find anything on his own. For me, this… Continue reading The Mom: The Myth, The Legend

Okay, you have been warned…turn back now if you are not ready for this cold hard truth. I have said it before, but maybe it hasn't hit you yet: Mommy-ing is HARD. What makes it hard...(other than the highly demanding job of being an actual mom) is MOM SHAMING. If you are a mom (or… Continue reading Mom-Shaming: Damned if you Do, Damned if you Don’t

Mom. Mom. MOM. It's our name. It's overused. We hear it three billion times a day. But What is a Mom? Well, because I am a “millennial,” the first place I turn to is the internet of course. (Duh). According to Merriam-Webster.com: A mom is “a mother.” Well, okay, that is certainly obvious. So what… Continue reading The Good Mom’s Club
