Co-Sleeping It’s funny that of all things to really get people fired up about, co-sleeping is one of them. I mean, who CARES if I sleep with my kid or you sleep with yours? [bctt tweet=”Why do people get so fired up about #cosleeping? via @theaprilnoelle” username=”losethecape”] My son was the first to get booted. …
A couple of years have passed since my last major move, and hopefully, it will be the last for just a little while. Since I was very pregnant, I had to get organized so I get things done in time. Over the years, I’ve easily moved more than a dozen times. However, this last time, I had to develop somewhat of …
Dealing with tantrums … is hard enough without other people trying to interject. Kids will be kids. Toddlers have tantrums. “Come on, kids. Let’s go!” Two pairs of feet rush past me to their dad who’s standing next to the car. One pair of feet is obviously missing. “Come on. Let’s GO!” Silence precedes the sound …
The Family Vision Board March is almost halfway over! Boy has that time flown by. Had it been last year, I would have missed a lot… a lot of fun. However, this year, I started a vision board.

Parenting has become its own beast in the 21st Century. Throwing birthday parties not only mean planning how you can entertain the attendees, but what to give them to take home. Sending your child to school often feels like you are sending them to a daycare to ingest large amounts of unnecessary information. A child’s …
Multitasking. We’re moms. Multitasking is as natural as running our business with a child on our hip while getting our kids to do chores. We multitask all day, every day. As we navigate this thing called motherhood, we fall into the daily traps of trying to do it all, at the same time. A child …
I’m a podcast junkie. Now that my girls are mobile and extremely active, I have less time to sit more than a couple of minutes at a time. I used to joke about how little television that I watched even though it’s on ALL.THE.TIME. Now, it’s truly a reality. I’d be lucky if I see …
