From time to time I like to make sure I’m being honest on here as part of my Let’s Be Real Campaign. Numerous people have asked me how things are going now that there are two H-G Munchkins in the world, and my answer has usually been, “pretty good”. In…
I’ll admit that this post’s title is less than what my creative-quirky writing side hoped, but I’m writing this mostly for myself. It’s for the next time that I think, “how did I make that one hat that actually fit me?” Well, if you have a slightly-smaller-than-average-female-sized-head (roughly 21.5 inch…
Hey, Friends. How are you? Long time no type. Things have been busy but good with my new Two Under Two Gig. It’s been fun upgrading my vocabulary from “my child” or “my son” to “my children” and “my son and daughter”. I’m only four weeks in, and six…

As Mother’s Day approached this year, I found myself in the perfect storm of pregnancy hormones, low sleep, teething toddler mayhem, family gathering requests, and the general overwhelmingness that has haunted me this pregnancy. And as the eye of the storm passed me by, I lost it. I just…
Uhhhhhh…. so it’s been a little while since the previous Brother vs. Belly Battle Update, and I’ve gone from a Peekaboo Belly to a Big Ol’ Belly. In the many weeks that came before this latest round of BvB photos, we were delighted to find out that Baby HG2…
