Splash and Bubbles at SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium

September 25, 2018 By Chaunie

Are your kids as obsessed with the Splash and Bubbles show as mine are? I have to admit that I fully support my kids watching the popular PBS Kids Show primarily because 1) they learn so much and 2) that song is just so darn catchy. Regardless of whether or not it’s intended for my…

My Goals For The Rest of Summer + Being in a Waiting Season

July 22, 2018 By Chaunie

I just went to check my latest goal list that I had made for 2018 in order to check my goal setting progress and I instantly felt like someone had sucker punched me. Because I remember writing my 2018 goal post with a very different type of announcement and saving it in my drafts folder,…

Goals For 2018 (Late, But I Have a Reason)

January 22, 2018 By Chaunie

It’s that time of the year again. My husband was gracious enough to give me an hour all to my very self this morning and even though I feel more tired than I have in my entire life, I’m trying to piece together a few brain cells to really carve out some intentions for 2018….

My Goals For The Rest of the Year

September 16, 2017 By Chaunie

goals

Every year around the time that school starts, I like to make a fresh start on some goals. It definitely has something to do with the fact that I love the fresh start that school brings and like any bookworm, I love the prospect of learning and new notebooks and fancy pens. This year, however,…

This is Two: A Mom’s Letter to Her Little Girl

August 12, 2017 By Chaunie

I look at you through eyes of disbelief, my arms still heavy with the memory of your baby weight against me. I watch you, thinking of how smart you are, fully realizing that you know exactly what is going on — and you’re playing your mom and dad like a baby-sized fiddle. I feel bewildered, like the past…

To The Mom Whose Due Date Will Never Come

August 9, 2017 By Chaunie

As I stir my mug of hot tea and curl up in front of the fire this holiday season, I will watch my children play with their new gifts and I will look over at my husband and smile over their heads, our faces warm from the heat and our hearts full from days spent with…

Shifting Gears

August 8, 2017 By Chaunie

switching gears

After rocking the baby to sleep, I read my three-year-old a story and give her a kiss on the forehead. “Sweet dreams,” I tell her, tucking her in for her afternoon nap. “Mommy has to go to sleep now.” I brush my teeth, pull on some pajamas and crawl into bed myself. Listening one last…

Pregnant and Job Interview?

August 1, 2017 By Chaunie

After getting a call for a job I had applied for last spring, I hurried to my closet to pick out an outfit. Of course, I wanted to present a professional and polished appearance, but I also had one other mission in mind: Deciding if I should hide my baby bump. I know, I know,…

Moving To The Next Stage

July 31, 2017 By Chaunie

next stage of life

Lately, I have found myself kind of…well, terrified. Frozen. Stuck. It’s like I have reached a point where I have to move onto the next stage of life, looking ahead to kids who are not toddlers and babies anymore, but “big kids.” The teen years loom ahead of me and I feel paralyzed with indecision…

30, Flirty, and Thriving

May 20, 2016 By Chaunie

Or something like that. Maybe I can make my own movie and change the tagline to “30, Thirsty, and Stretch-Marked.” That might be a tad more in tune to my life. So yeah, I turned 30. And it feels freaking weird. I’m not someone who freaks out about aging, like my youth is the source…
