Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
Mother’s Day. Since starting my parenting life, it has never really been something I’ve looked forward to. My kids attempt various sweet gestures that result in runny eggs and cold-in-the-middle waffles because they know I love breakfast as much as I hate waiting with all of creation in the lobby of Cracker Barrel Sunday morning for a stack of my favorite pancakes. They give me

It is something that has always been a meaningful part of my life, so writing about
One of the best things about Disney World vacations is making sure you eat all of the delicious things while on your Disney World vacations. For those that don’t know, Disney food is a thing.

Swiped from this earth and my life with no warning and no reason. Dude 3 told me what his last words were to her when we were in the
Dude 3 has always loved baking. Cookies, cupcakes, pies, it has been a thing that he has enjoyed since he was old enough to stand in a chair it my kitchen counter and lick the spoon. As he got older, he would spend the holidays at my parents’ house helping Mimi in the kitchen—they’d bake monkey bread for dinner, pies for dessert, and cinnamon rolls
As parents to a fresh driver, finding the perfect car for him became one of my goals of 2018. I was determined. I was committed. And, by the end of the year we’d tested out tons of vehicles. Tons.
