Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I recently found myself in our pediatrician’s waiting room with my 20 year old. He was sick and needed to be seen and, because time had gotten away from us as is so often the case, I had failed to transfer him to our primary care doctor. So, there we were, sitting in too small chairs, surrounded by board books and wooden toys, vowing to

One thing I struggle with as an adult is that I didn’t learn about investing as a kid. I don’t blame my parents, they didn’t know either, and neither did theirs before them. This idea of teaching kids to invest and empowering them with

I don’t know about you but I love fall and nothing makes celebrating it more fun than fall festivals and pumpkin patches. We’ve been enjoying Maryland pumpkin patches since we moved here in 2001. From farm based Maryland pumpkin patches to Oktoberfest celebrations, you can find countless fall festivals across the state to help you and your family soak up all the fall season has
I was compensated by Med-IQ through an educational grant from Sanofi to write about the realities of kidney transplantation. All opinions are my own. I partnered with MedIQ to spread awareness around kidney donation because someone I care deeply about is on the kidney transplant list as I type this. After a sudden illness that resulted in a kidney disease diagnosis in 2019, my younger
Fall is upon us and that means time to get your fall dress game in order. Amazon dresses have been a part of my wardrobe for several seasons and fall will be no different. While I do have some Amazon dresses I’ve transitioned to fall (hello pocket cardigans and jean jackets also found easily and affordably on Amazon), I’ve also pinned down some super chic
