Real Mom Talk: Avoiding Burnout
April 27, 2015 7:18 pm | by

After reviewing my resume during a job interview, the interviewer said, “You have been a personal chef, nurse, coach, financial advisor, janitor, photographer, videographer, life coach, counselor, and chauffeur?” And I replied, “Yes, I’m a mother.” That’s not actually true. It’s supposed to be an ironic joke showcasing the multi-faceted roles that mothers take on daily. When I had my identical twin girls, all of my instincts kicked in and I felt like I was born to be a mother. Now, many years and children later, I wouldn’t mind running away to the beach for a couple days. I call

Prepping Cloth Diapers

Let’s talk about washing your wet bag. But first, if you’re not familiar with a wet bag, you can learn more about this cloth diaper accessory here. Most people who use cloth know that a wet bag is used to tote and store soiled diapers and/or clothes, which means it can get gross. Especially on the inside. Just think about all the smells, moisture, liquid(s), and BACTERIA a wet bag contains. Or don’t… because YUCK! Washing your wet bag is just as important as washing your cloth diapers. Wet bags can create a warm, damp and dark environment that is

Real Mom Talk: Making Friends
April 14, 2015 6:29 pm | by

When my twins turned 2, I realized I was experiencing burn out. Like my parents, my children consumed everything. I cooked only what they ate, all of our outings were based around their naps and instead of going to the movies or tapas restaurants, we would go to the zoo or park. It was wonderful to have kids, but I was forgetting to take care of myself. I really needed a girls night. I wanted to talk about something or someone other than Dora. I spent the last two years indoors investing in my kids, which is awesome, but I

Real Mom Talk: Meal Planning Made Easy
April 6, 2015 8:25 pm | by

Pop quiz: What’s worse than staring blankly at your pantry each night, wondering what on earth you’re going to cook for dinner? Answer: Nothing! At least, that’s how I feel! And about 7 years ago I realized something had to change. I had just returned to work after having my first child, and I was desperately looking for ways to streamline our evening routine. By the time I got home from work, tried to think of something to make for dinner, cooked, cleaned up, then my baby was ready for bed! I felt like I wasn’t getting any quality time with
