Being a working mom when kids are sick

Being a working mom when the kids are sick

Being a working mom when the kids are sick is a huge challenge. To be honest, it was one of my biggest worries when I was going back to work after being a stay at home mom for three years.

Stepping into New Year 2019

Goodbye 2018 happy new year 2019

Happy New Year 2019!

We’re one week into the new year now. I know I haven’t been updating the blog much the last couple months but I am definitely still here and excited to see what lies ahead in the New Year 2019.

Tips for quick weeknight meals for busy families

tips for quick weeknight meals for busy families

As I’m preparing to go back to work, I am dusting off the cobwebs for all my tricks and tips for weeknight meals for busy families. With two working parents and kids in daycare and school all day long, there will be no one at home to prepare dinner. This is one of the most challenging aspects for me going back to working outside the home. There is literally not enough time to quickly prepare and eat dinner without the right plan for your family’s weeknight meals. No more winging it, I am stocking up the freezer and prepping ahead of time.

Lulu started school a couple weeks ago (two weeks before labour day for some reason, because California is crazy like that). I feel like I blinked and poof, I have a school-aged child!
