Last fall and winter, I engaged in what I will call the Season of Bad Decisions. This involved me deciding that donuts don't actually have calories, and wine is good for you. In other words, NO.
I hopped on the scale two days after Christmas, because I really needed to add to my post-holiday depression. I was noticing clothes were fitting slightly less comfortably, so I anticipated a minimal and (not at ALL alarming) 5 lb gain or so.

dear coffee,
I love you. You give me ALL THE FEELS. I know that I could not go a day without you, and although some might feel that is slightly rash or completely shameful, I literally do NOT GIVE A FLYING FLIP.
I love you like my 3rd child. Except that you GIVE me energy. So there may be (ARE.) days where you're totally my favorite. Shhhh. Don't tell the others.
Read MoreWe all know parenting can be a little scary. And if I'm being honest, nothing strikes fear into my heart like the dreaded school email. You know what I'm talking about. The ones that go a little something like this:
Read MoreIt's Friday guys! And if you're a parent, this means that even though you had to drag, bribe, and/or shove your children out of their beds every morning this week, tomorrow they will be up at 6am.
Fortunately, this is why the Good Lord invented technology. (Maybe for science and stuff too. But mostly so tired parents can have 30 extra minutes on a Saturday morning.)

There are two types of people when it comes to daylight savings time. There are the ones who bounce out of bed and are all, YAY it's spring! Let us frolic around outside because it won't even get dark until 8pm and life is amazing!

(*If it tells you anything about my state of mind, I wrote this post on Monday, THOUGHT I POSTED IT, and just realized I never took it off draft. Whoops. Apparently I left my spray tan AND my sanity on vacation.)
Since the weather can't make up it's mind, you should all probably go ahead and buy this sweater. I'm assuming we will need it when it snows in June this year.

(As this post goes live, I am on a TEN HOUR plane ride to Hawaii. I know, I know, we don't feel sorry for you, Sherri. Well, you shouldn't. You should feel sorry for my husband, and probably everyone else on the plane.)
I am straight up Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids when I fly.

If I have heard any one piece of marriage advice consistently repeated over the past decade, it's this: never stop dating your spouse. And I absolutely agree. I mean, who doesn't love dating? (I do!) You have an excuse to wear clothes that won't be spit-up on, eat food you didn't cook and explore places that don't have hand sanitizer dispensers on every wall. You might even get lucky at the end of the night. (Like, maybe with a foot rub? Or the gift of Netflix? --S)
