Over the past few months, I have felt overwhelmed to say the least. With a new house and a new baby and six and four-year-old, there is never a dull moment (or should I say there is always drama drama drama!) I am struggling to figure out the tricks of the trade to conquer the [...]
Do you have a love/hate relationship with a certain pinning website, too?
I love Pinterest. No, I hate it. OK, let’s just say it’s a love/hate relationship we’re having. I love it because it is full of “ah ha!” ideas for everything from recipes to cleaning to entertaining to decorating. I hate it because it’s a time sucker. One moment you are browsing ideas for your four-year-old’s [...]

If you’re a woman 25 or over (which is pretty likely if you’re a JMB reader), you probably have at least one Facebook friend selling Rodan + Fields products. Rodan + Fields, the company behind uber-successful anti-acne regimen Proactive Solution, has gotten into the anti-aging skin care market in a big way. It’s mildly depressing, [...]
Broadway Comes to Jacksonville {Giveaway}
I have always loved a good musical, and in my pre-mommy days I spent many nights in New York watching Broadway shows. I remember when I first moved to Jacksonville back in 2001. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was touring the nation, and I was doubtful that it would be as good as it was [...]

I had no concern whatsoever [...]

Are We Turning Into Our Mothers?!
Yes, we absolutely are and while the thought of turning into your mother may have you shaking your head and screaming “WHY??” the question we should be asking ourselves is, “Is turning into my mother really such a bad thing?” I don’t believe it is. For some reason mothers and daughters like to drive each [...]
What I Really Want for Mother’s Day
Sitting here with my four and two- year-old before bedtime, catching up on one of the many Nick Jr. shows we have saved on the DVR, I think about what I really want for Mothers Day. The obvious answer would be that I want the day off from work, but in the hospitality industry, that [...]
Our Summer Project
“Liam, you dug up the broccoli that you JUST planted!” “Sydney, please keep the dirt in the garden honey! No, honey, don’t eat the dirt, it’s yucky!” Sound anything like your house when you are attempting a fun family project?
