Beautiful, modern nursery in an urban condo
Things have been hopping over at The Design File and so I’m a little late with my weekly post. But I’m so excited to share this fantastic, modern nursery with you.
Noelle, an expectant mother in Indianapolis, recently sent me photos of the nursery she created with her husband, Daniel. The couple lives in the downtown [...]
Frugal Road Trips with Kids
My husband, toddler and I drove today from St. Louis, Missouri to Oklahoma City for a swim meet. We travel by car fairly often to attend the swim meets of our teenage daughter, so we’re really mastering the art of traveling with kids and doing it on a budget.
As I was driving today, it occurred [...]
Count Those Kids!
Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come.”

The moment they were born
Nursing them
Carrying them out of the hospital, dressed adorably for [...]
Great Examples of Superfan Parents
So often, we get to read about parents who act like morons at sporting events. I know I’ve written about those kinds of parents, and I’ve certainly seen thousands of keystrokes dedicated to the same. But over the last few weekends, I’ve witnessed first-hand some of the best examples of parents who are “superfans.”

It is Good to be Loved
My toddler is pretty attached to me. I love it and readily admit that fact. Because of my cool gig as a freelance writer/communications consultant, she rarely has to have a babysitter/daycare provider, so she spends most of her time with me.
She separates just fine when she goes to the YMCA nursery, but she’s been [...]
