The Hollis Family Thanksgiving
I don’t know about you but I love to see how other people do things, especially a holiday! Does your family do the green bean casserole like our does? Do you dress really fancy or wear jeans to the table? Do you have Thanksgiving dessert display or serve only pumpkin pie? I’m so curios, and

Momfession: My Struggle With Bells Palsy
I don’t know about you, but as we make our way into the holiday season, I find that my stress level is increasing. Trying to get all of my work done at the office leaves little time for planning out my menu and making sure my Thanksgiving centerpiece is perfect. This means I’m constantly making

Setting Up a Baby Room
For starters – congratulations! Having a baby is the most exciting time! When Rachel asked me to start a baby blog I had so many ideas. Our baby boy just turned five months old.

Momfessions: The Prince Charming Complex
For a while now I’ve been thinking about writing a mom-fession about men. More specifically husbands. Surprisingly (mostly to me) this isn’t a bitter diatribe detailing the various ways my own husband has pissed me off today. I wanted to write a note about a trend I keep seeing over and over amongst women I
