Remember a while back when I shared my genius Mobile Mom Office mom hack with you? Let me refresh your memory...basically, we spend so much time waiting around between car pool lines, dr. offices, and kiddo's practices.

When I started this blog, I started doing what I called "Monthly Challenges". Basically, picking things in my life that I wanted to change or improve upon and dedicating the month to making that "thing" better. In 2017, I got away from the challenges.

This adds up to serious idle time each [...]
"MOMMMMMMM Can I have a snack?" I know I am not the only one who hates this question. Mainly because the answer is pretty much always "Yes" and because the question ALWAYS comes at the worst time possible....I.E. when I'm in the bathroom, when my arms are full of laundry, when I just sat down [...]

Yeah, I am not a fan either...but occasionally some strategic marketing will lure me in and I'll take the [click] bait. Recently, one of those clicks paid off and I discovered something really cool... BOXED.COM! You guys! Boxed.com is an online [...]
