Posted by Stephanie | Filed under CommiserATE
Until a few months ago, I was a corporate mom of one. After 5 years, I had it down pretty good. But, after baby #2 came along, I decided to quit working and try out the stay at home mom gig. Ironically, my husband accepted a job which required more travel around that same time [...]

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Dr. Seuss book, Green Eggs and Ham. One of Billy’s favorite apps on the iPad, the interactive book has been played in our house more than 50 times in the last 48 hours, and it’s starting to get to me. I think it’s a great book, but [...]
Have you checked your brain at the door?
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
Going from a busy woman with three jobs (yes, 3) to a wife and a mommy was life changing. Especially in my bedroom! You see, I suffer from what I like to call “Oh-yes-what-was-that-oh-sorry-honey” syndrome. In other words, I don’t check my brain at the door. As awesome as the brain is, considering it’s our [...]

{Read with heavy sarcasm}
Dear Mr. School Picture Day Photographer,
I don’t even know where to begin to thank you for the stack of school portraits that I didn’t order that you sent home from school with my darling today. It appears you worked hard to capture the natural beauty while posing her with her hands folded [...]

I recently received this Naughty Betty greeting card from Anne on our 100th post day. Lookie here …
The inside reads: I can’t imagine life without a friend like you. They really have a way with words, don’t they? … I couldn’t have said it better myself.
So that got me thinking and, today, I would like [...]
When passion walks in the room, Everyone stands up
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under CaptivATE
Passion is the spark that lights the gasoline that is life. Passion is what everyone wants, and if you have it, people will either want to be like you or be with you. In any group, the people with passion in their eyes are the people whom everyone else is listening to and watching. They’re [...]

Going Off the Grid
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
Homeschoolers are weird. They are the people who make meals out of dryer lint, wear clothes from hemp seed and study the sonar tracking of bats. Or so I thought. Until I became one of them.
This adventure began when it dawned on me that no one “got” my son. All the things I felt were [...]
Stranger Danger

Survival. This is what most of our posts revolve around. We aren’t here to tell you how to properly swaddle your baby or why you should only eat organic (because frankly we really don’t know the answers) — and in all honesty, we really aren’t that kind of blog.
On most days, we are only here [...]
