Before I had kids, all I could think about was climbing the corporate ladder. How fast could I do it? How much money could I make? What would my next title be? I always knew I would go back to work after I had my baby, most people looked puzzled when I said that - [...]
We went to a Wedding recently where the groom's father teared up as he warned us as to how quickly time flies. This might sound a little dramatic, but as the beautiful bride walked down the aisle, my eyes filled as I pictured my own baby girl doing the same. While McKenzie is only 2 [...]
Winter months can be tough with everyone in the house getting sick. I have to say, outside of the stomach flu, Brian and I did pretty well. I think Brian maybe had 2-3 colds, which for someone who is on an airplane every single week I'd say that is pretty impressive. I basically get sick [...]
Wrestlemania is the biggest event for WWE each year. They usually announce where the next mania will be held over a year in advance. While we love going to different destinations for Wrestlemania, it was pretty exciting to find if would be held in NY/NJ this year. That would mean more of Brian’s friends would [...]

You always hear about Mom guilt, but you don’t realize how heavy it weighs on people. I think social media plays a huge role in the added guilt that mom’s feel where Dad’s or men in general may not care to look or post as often as some Mom’s. One thing that we had to [...]
Even before I was pregnant I knew I was at least going to try to nurse my baby. There are SO many benefits to both Mom and baby, I was always determined to make it work. I hadn’t really done my research until I was actually pregnant, but from what I had always heard - [...]
When I first started my blog, my friends would ask “what are you going to write about?”. I told them I’d write about my experiences raising McKenzie, what it’s like being married to Brian, health and fitness, and anything outside of being a working Mom and wife. I mentioned I was going on vacation to [...]
