Finding joy amid the chaos
Welcome To My Momfessions As a human being I am far from perfect, and as a mother I may be even farther. But I try. I try to be a little bit better every day. But hey, isn’t that what this life is all about. Everyday trying to be just a little bit better than …
Two years ago, in the onset of Covid-19 my oldest, who was 3, was in desperate need of some fun activities. With Easter fast approaching and the parks all closed, Batman, was going stir crazy. Did I mention I also chose this time of social isolation to cut back on TV watching? What was I …
Have you grown weary of your brick fireplace? Is your brick fireplace in serious need of an update? Is the painted brick just not your style? When we moved into our first house there was a giant brick fireplace. The fireplace surround was floor to ceiling and took up the majority of the wall. A …
Fall is my favorite time to be outside. The weather is cool, but not yet cold. And there are so many fun outdoor fall activities, many of which don’t cost any money. It’s such a great time to be outside and explore nature. I try to get my kids outside everyday. But during the fall …

Dying Easter eggs is just one of those things that seems to be a requirement when it comes to Easter activities. I for one have always LOVED dying Easter eggs. That is at least until kids came into the picture. All of a sudden dying Easter eggs with toddlers became: a challenge a chore and …
Dying Easter eggs has always been a stable Easter Activity in my home. It’s just doesn’t feel like Easter without it. Little kids love that white eggs become colored, and it’s a fun way to teach them colors and about mixing colors. Older kids have fun making cool designs and being inventive, trying creative ways …
