Martin Hart from True Detective would definitely go for her.

I think I've pinpointed why I'm always dehydrated: my children demand whatever I'm drinking as soon as the cup reaches my lips. 😂😂😂

Hot take: destination weddings defeat the purpose of weddings. Weddings are not about an individual couple going out on their own regardless of family and community. Weddings are a celebration of the new family being created out of two separate families and building a community

"I don’t mind that all of my days are devoted to my children because motherhood is my job. You don’t try to do other tasks when you’re at a desk job - you focus on the project at hand. So it’s only in the moments when I put my role as mother second that motherhood can feel like a

Sleeping in one hotel room on a trip is simultaneously terrible and wonderful at the same time. Everyone wakes up if one person wakes up, but if I have to take care of children in the night, I'm one step away from everyone. Been up all night taking care of little ones but at

Unless you are an incredibly diligent person with very strongly held values, money comes at a cost: it allows you to pay someone else to take care of your problems so you don’t have to grow and improve. If you are paying someone else to clean your home throughout the day, you

Being a first-gen SAHM is such a wild ride. There are some days — dare I say weeks? — where I feel really overwhelmed and unsure of our routines. And then there are periods where it feels like things are running smoothly and the trains are all on schedule. Right now, we are in a

Happy Birthday!* *this includes anyone who has ever been born, not just today, but any day. This also acknowledges that some people did not enjoy the day of their birth and therefore may not want to be celebrated today. If that's you, we hope you don't feel celebrated at all -

My husband said something the other day that I’ve had on repeat in my head the last few weeks. He said, “Childhood is undefeated. No one overcomes their childhood.” We all say that children are resilient, that they can survive so much as they grow up. And thank God, it’s true

Celebrating 7 years of marriage to the most wonderful man in the world! Our rabbi recently said, "If you want to know if someone is a righteous man, ask his wife." I can tell you that seven years later, my husband has only proven himself to be more and more a righteous man. I'm
