Destin 30A Moms

A good Turkish towel is like the Bonnie to my Clyde. It's with me no matter what, and won't let me down, even if I'm putting it in harm's way. I take it with me to the Beach (so sandy), have one in the Bathroom (not kidding), use it for all the kid things (so many messes, some of them bio hazardous), and take it along for the motherhood ride (wine doesn't scare it)...

Motherhood throws a lot of curveballs at you. Some of them you are prepared for, or at least anticipate. Others are a complete surprise. One that surprised me was my relationship with clothes. It started with maternity wear. Man, that...

What are you doing this summer?   I'm going to Disney World!   Cue the excitement and happy dance!  That phrase makes even the oldest seem like a giddy kid thinking about Disney World...Or maybe it's just me. And I'm ok...

    I have three children. The first two were born healthy and strong after scheduled inductions. By the time pregnancy number three rolled around, I was perfectly at ease with my doctor giving Mother Nature a little nudge and scheduling...

So it was a Saturday night, my husband and I were settling into bed.  I did my normal check of social media/ text messages/ emails. Soon a flash of heat came over me. Did I do this?! No... No way... Eek!...A...

At the end of 2012, five years into a long-term relationship, an event occurred that threatened my life, my physical well-being, and my ability to care for my son. In a drunken rage my partner, the man who at...

Today I'm sharing some of my favorite items for surviving life with babies! Here we go:  Baby Monitor with video: I have been using the same baby monitor for all three of my boys and don't know what I would've done...

Time is the topic on my mind a lot these days, as there just doesn't seem to be enough of it. Is that a mom thing or is that an age thing? When my kids were little and not yet...

Every mom loves to be spoiled, but between the soccer practices, gymnastics lessons, and changing dirty diapers, she probably won't admit it... or even take time for herself. She'd probably emphasize just how much she loves playing personal chauffeur and...

     My niece's 2nd birthday is rapidly approaching, and I am gathering a gift together and feeling bad that I can't make the trip out to Vegas to celebrate this year. Last year I went, but the party was a...

I was just trying to make these simple Easter egg maracas that can be found all over Pinterest. I actually make them every year for my kids with leftover Easter eggs, but this year, I tried to photograph the...

Welcome to the 21st century... Where everyone wants to have their babies at home or on a farm somewhere. Maybe not everyone--maybe I just have a lot of crunchy friends (love you, Crunchy Friends! ?). While a home birth was never my...

With a military husband, my family moves A LOT.  Second to unpacking and organizing my home,  finding my new grocery store routine is the biggest struggle for me whenever we've moved. I've tried all the stores, but for the food items our...
