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

Welcome to the Mad House
Perhaps you read my post several weeks ago about how we bought a new/old house. Now we’re smack dab in the middle of a construction zone… literally there are hammers and nails flying every which way and random crews come rolling in at the crack of dawn to wake us with the gentle hum of

Rachel Eats Her Feelings
Ok ya’ll, you know I’m keepin’ it real if I’m actually posting this hideous photo of myself on the internet! I wanted to write a piece about my relationship with food and in order to do that I needed to show you that (at times) that relationship was an abusive one… hence the inappropriate upper

Toddler Chronicles
I decided tonight that it might be a good idea to share some adventures in parenting on My Chic Life. I thought this because, while the blog is called My Chic Life, I think it’s important to remind readers once in a while that it’s about the pursuit of chic living. Some days that means
