Hair Dye Mom Salon
The third time is a charm they say but in this case the third time means I’m becoming a regular stylist for my kids. With Picture Day scheduled for Monday, the kids decided they wanted to color their hair. This is the third time I’ve colored Farah’s hair so I’m starting to learn little tricks…

Ski Season Set Up
We are a ski family. Not like a crazy future Olympian ski family, but a family fun, snow day, ski weekend kind of family. To be ready for these vacations, we took the girls to get sized for their seasonal rentals at Princeton Sports on Falls Road in Baltimore. We like to take care of…

Dumb with Venmo
A fool and his money are soon parted. I’ve been burned twice now by Venmo. I definitely am at fault in both cases but it still irks me how easy it was for me to be out of pocket. The first time, I was swindled by a hacker of some sort. It happened one day…

Morning Smoothie Wardrobe Ensemble
I thought I’d share the photo below of me and my morning smoothie. I make a morning smoothie every day but today my almost 10- year old daughter pointed out that my smoothie matched my outfit! I was flying through the morning and probably wouldn’t have noticed If she hadn’t pointed it out. I got…

Hollywood at Home
I hit lots of traffic on the way to take the kids to school today but, I think the reason why is pretty cool. Traffic was all backed up at the Inner Harbor because there is a film crew filming the screen adaption of Lady on the Lake from creator Laura Lippmann. The kids and…

Fear of Flying and Doing it Anyway
It must sound crazy to say that I am afraid of flying and severely dislike it when I fly for work 3-4 times a month. How did I get myself into this situation? I knowingly took a job that required me to fly often and travel away from my family. Ugh. What was I thinking?…

Best Beach Day Ever
We had an absolutely epic time at the beach today. Well both yesterday and today really. The weather and water temperatures were perfect. I honestly think that the weather today and yesterday might be some of the nicest days of the entire year. We went to the beach in OCMD two days in a row.…

School Lunches
Now that school is back in session, it’s time to start packing lunches every weekday. My husband has graciously volunteered and taken on this task for the last few years. Partly because he is very particular about things in the kitchen and cooking and meal prep on general. Still, I realize that packing 3 lunches…
