Time to laugh: Beachy waves done by the stylist vs. beachy waves I can do myself! As found on experiencedbadmom.com.

Do you ever go to the salon and get your hair done? Looks great when the stylist does it, right? Then it’s the next day. Suddenly, what the stylist made look *so easy* is impossible to replicate. But, you try. I present below my stylist’s rendition of beachy waves, immediately followed by my rendition of beachy waves: How’s [Read More]

Lose the Cape, Save Your Sanity

April 28, 2015 By Katy 8 Comments

Lose the Cape is a practical, easy-to-digest book full of helpful tips and personal stories from moms just like you.

A Great Winter Workout for Moms

February 6, 2015 By Katy 26 Comments

A Great Winter Workout for Moms
