We’ve traveled for 3 weeks out of the last 6. That is a LOT for a two-year-old who has a pretty good routine. When we’re home – our day normally looks like: Wake up: 6:30/7:00 amBreakfastPlay Date/ActivityNap: 12:00 pm – 3:00 pmPlay-time while mom cooks dinnerDinner: 6:00 pmBedtime: 7:30pm But changing time zones, running around visiting people, and not to mention not having your own house can throw all of that off. I have to hang it to my kid- for needing her naps- she champs it when she needs to and doesn’t get naps. When we were in Virginia …

Stop the “Complain Train”

Just fair warning, this may rub some of you the wrong way. There I said it, so you’ve been warned. So continue on if you don’t mind some feathers ruffled. I’ve had my fair share of “woe” is me moments throughout my life. Honestly, I spent most of my childhood, and a fair share of my adult life blaming someone else for all my problems. Why I got less than average grads in college Why I worked so many hours for little pay Why I couldn’t seem to keep friends when life got rough Why my husband and I argued …
