Last week I wrote a (fun) post about the things I don’t do. It seemed to be a hit with some of you and rightfully so! I’ve loved reading similar lists from friends and bloggers because it’s interesting to learn more about the things others prioritize, and the things they do not. Imagine how life […]

Inspired by both my life coach Diana and my treasured friend Emily, I wanted to share a list of the things I don’t do. How many times we marvel over the things others seem to effortlessly pack into their lives only to lose sight of the many things they probably don’t to make room for […]

Well! We officially have a three year old! Lachlan’s birthday party was this past weekend which worked out nicely since his official birthday landed on a Friday this year. Despite some mild sicknesses lingering in our home for the last eight weeks, I prepared as much as I could in advance of the event, a […]

My favorite holiday tradition is one that feels far from festive but without it Christmas wouldn’t feel the same! And because every tradition deserves a backstory . . . During the week of Christmas in 2006, most of the route from Lansing, Michigan to Toronto, Ontario was hit with an awful snowstorm. The kind of […]

I asked my husband what would be an appropriate title for this post. “I need a word to go after, ‘Celebrating Christmas In A . . . Season,’ what’s a politically correct fill in the blank?” “Uh, in a struggle bus season?” was his response. Without even missing a beat. I married up, you guys. […]

Remember this post? Talk about long days and short years. Here we are living that truth out all over again. When I was pregnant with Everett, I imagined his newborn days would be as easy as the ones I had with Lachlan. Lachlan’s newborn days weren’t anything tremendously difficult or far from textbook ordinary but […]

If you know me well, you know I love a tidy home. And I’ve differentiated between tidy and clean in this post here, so you’ll also know that while there may be dog hair along my baseboards or a few toilets that need scrubbing, nearly everything has a place in our house. I believe more […]

After the birth of my first son, Lachlan, I carried a lot of shame and guilt. I’ve never shared his full birth story like I had planned because it remains deeply personal and very much an experience that monumentally changed my life. But after giving birth to Everett, our second son and newest family addition, […]

It’s a pleasure to introduce you to our newest son, Everett Drew Bosse. Born Friday, October 5th, 2018 at 8:02 am and weighing 8 pounds and 3 ounces, he is finally here! Ev was 20.5 inches long, only half an inch shorter than his baby brother at birth but no doubt just as precious and sweet. […]

We are days away from welcoming our second baby to the world. I’m full of so many emotions! Being a parent, or rather being a mother since that’s all I can relate to, is an interesting demographic to be an active participant of. I find mothers to be some of the most emotionally driven, openly […]

Even though the title of this post alludes to me sharing one sole tidying up trick, I promise the post length you’re about to enjoy is necessary to share just how awesome it is. So I preface my post with a yes, this is a long blog post but an even bigger yes, it’s worth […]

It’s funny how a second pregnancy can feel so different from a first. Before finding out we were expecting this second baby I heard a lot from friends and even strangers about how different a second pregnancy and baby can be. And I didn’t really understand how vast the differences were until I went through […]
