I really enjoyed a recent post on the Mabelhood entitled “Real Men Can Handle Unicorn-Related Crises.” In it, the author shares her appreciation for her husband and the active role he plays in parenting their three little girls. She describes how he plays with unicorn stuffies and kisses boo-boos, but adds that it’s really so much more than that:
It is spring time! I absolutely love this warmer weather and what better way to celebrate spring than with lemons 😉
I carried it in my throat. The fear I mean.
When Spring rolls around, most of us welcome it with open arms! Finally, warmer weather arrives, snow disappears, and it’s absolutely glorious! But with Spring, comes a few little unwanted creatures. You know, spiders in the house, mice crossing our paths, and in the case of our house…bats! So. Many. Bats.
Much has been written about how to handle children who are picky eaters. Hiding vegetables, putting ketchup on everything, resorting to bribery or just giving in to the handful of things your child will eat. I’ve seen the shows, skimmed the books and read the blog posts. For many parents, meal time is a massive pain in the backside.

They say hindsight is 20/20, meaning that after an event has occurred, you see it with a sense of clarity that you may not have had while it was happening.
My mom is an expert baker. I can speak from experience.
There are things you take for granted, as a mother. Sure, much of motherhood is being taken advantage of – you’re basically a food source, a chauffeur, a referee and a human Kleenex – but there are also hidden advantages. This is something I’ve been thinking about lately as I watch my husband with our two kids, a son and daughter.
