A Very Exciting Announcement…and an Invitation!

July 13, 2019

I am SUPER excited to announce the Made to Mother™ book is publishing on Mother’s Day, 2020!

Razor Clam Digging on the Washington State Coast

April 12, 2019

I’ve always loved clams; fried, in chowder, steamed in butter – it’s all good! But when I was introduced to Washington clam digging, I discovered the freshest, best tasting razor clams on the planet. The Long Beach Peninsula on the southern Washington coast is just a short road trip from the neighboring metropolitan areas of […]

6 Road Trip Car Games to Play with Your Kids

August 7, 2017

Our family takes a lot of road trips throughout the year. Central Oregon, Oak Harbor Washington, and Salinas California are our big, annual ones, and since we most often put the miles on our minivan, the rear entertainment system (DVD player) usually keeps the kids busy. However, there are the occasional camping or boat trips we […]

A Hawaiian Family Holiday

July 17, 2017

With lots of family and friends out of state, most of our big, summer family trips are driving to see them. Once in a while we take off for a few days at the beach, or maybe Sunriver. This year, however, my husband and I decided to splurge. After taxes, we ran the numbers, cashed […]

8 Parenting Hacks From Large Families That ALL Parents Can Use

October 24, 2016

I wouldn’t consider myself a ‘mom of many,’ but just a few years ago my three kids were all home and I had to keep them busy and alive from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I can scarcely remember those days, and honesty I’m not exactly sure how I did it. Even today with two of […]

28 Signs You May Be a ‘GIRL MOM’

August 8, 2016

There have been many viral posts written about being a ‘boy mom.’ Mothers glance lovingly at their raucous little men, and say things like, “Oh, he’s all boy,” and talk about how they are ‘noise with dirt on them,’ they make weapons out of everything, and the never-ending potty-talk. My youngest is a boy, so […]
