A Complete Guide to Netflix for Your Under-Six-Year-Old
I have pretty much been letting Harley watch as much TV as she wants as part of her unschooling/homeschooling approach. I know, mom of the year right here. But really, it feels like itās the apocalypse and if some screentime makes the world seem better for any of us, why not binge watch the hell out of your favorites?

Marvoto Belly Fit Review - A Bit Lean
Marvoto Belly Fit Review ā A BitĀ Lean
When the team behind the Marvoto Belly Fit reached out to me and asked if I wanted to review one, I was more intrigued than anything else. Something that could measure my fat? I was curious to see what it was and how it worked. If youāre looking for something to assess your fat and track your progress, you might want to take a closer look.

Adding My Voice to #BlackLivesMatter
I have been debating with myself about blogging. Not because I have any hesitation about whatās right or wrong, but because it feels like mine isnāt the voice that should be speaking right now. I donāt want to take up airtime or energy or distract from those who have better words, more important stories, or are on the forefront of this conversation. But itās also vital that I not remain silent,ā¦

8 Weeks at Home
8 Weeks atĀ Home
We all agree that time has been moving at such a weird rate. I guess pandemics do that to socially constructed concepts. Time has been so fluid, that I actually just had to Google āhow many weeks since March 13, 2020ā. Big Brother Google was kind enough to confirm my attempt at manually counting weeks ā EIGHT! 8 weeks since Harleyās last day at school. 8 weeks since I was in the office. Howā¦

How're You? The Question With No Good Answer
Howāre You? The Question With No GoodĀ Answer
It has been intriguing during this pandemic. Whether itās because people have more time during lockdown, or an increased desire for human connection, I think weāve all been reaching out to each other more. Iāve reconnected with old friends from university, had happy hours with friends, and generally tried to message people I care about more. But thereās a question we all ask that truly doesnātā¦

The New Normal
There is so much to say about whatās going on. About our family, our life, and this wild state of the world. But I want to use this time and these words to dive into something that Iāve heard other people saying and even found myself talking about. The desire for things to go back to normal. Will that ever be a thing again? Or will our definition of normal be forever altered?
Iām not sayingā¦

Grateful for Gratitude
I alluded to it in my end of the year recap, but I joined a gratitude project towards the end of last year. It didnāt really seem like my normal vibe, to be honest. But I kept reading about the power of gratitude and how taking note of something to be grateful for each day led to a more abundant lifestyle. Figuring āwhy notā, I gave it a whirl, and I canāt believe how much it truly has changed myā¦

Looking back on 2019 - The year that was
Looking back on 2019 ā The year thatĀ was
I canāt believe 2019 is wrapping up. It has been SUCH an eventful year, itās hard to even believe or remember where I was this time last year. If youāre curious, you can look back on these yearly wraps Iāve done before. Here is 2018, 2017, and 2016. Every year I answer the same questions ā theyāre more intense and complicated than the usual fluff you see in yearly wraps. They also help me take aā¦

A Dream Job, Again
A Dream Job,Ā Again
When I started this blog what feels like a million years ago, I had the dream day job ā I was a video game and tech journalist with the biggest site in South Africa. It was a dream come true, where I spent my days writing about video games, traveling around the world to play video games, reviewing some of the latest and greatest technology and I even got to attend E3 and Gamescom. I always toldā¦

My 4th of July Was a Sign of Great Days to Come
My 4th of July Was a Sign of Great Days toĀ Come
I have been largely absent from this blog. In large part, itās because Iām avoiding talking about some stuff, and I donāt want to share parts here until I can share all the things. But I had a wonderful day on the 4th of July, and it felt momentous in a way. Iām hoping that other moms with young kids can identify, and maybe get a little bit of hope.
Earlier in the week, I asked my mom when thingsā¦

My Husband is a Better House Spouse Than IĀ Was
Working out of the home has highlighted an amazing new development in my marriage that I thought Iād share with all of you. Now that Iām the one working out of the house, Dean has taken over the home duties. Itās not to say that he isnāt working ā he is! But he is also picking up all the house spouse stuff, and he is SO much better at it all than I ever was. Itās actually in line with what weā¦

First Three Weeks at Work ā My Shonda RhimesĀ Moment
In my last blog, I told you that Iād started a new job. I know I owe all of you an update about it, but thatās honestly not what I want to write about today, so youāll just have to keep waiting for more news about that. Instead, I want to tell you about mom guilt, overcoming it, and then getting hit HARD. (moreā¦)

Changing Jobs and Embracing Being WonderĀ Woman
I know, I have pretty much disappeared lately. My YouTube videos have continued like clockwork, but I havenāt been writing here or sharing all that much on social media either. So letās catch up! Get yourself some coffee or wine and settle in for a bit of a read, a lot has happened and I want to take you on the journey with me! (moreā¦)

Win tickets to Circus Spectaculum, the all-human AZ circus
Win tickets to Circus Spectaculum, the all-human AZĀ circus
I have a kid under five, so I like to think my life is a circus. In fact, when bedtime has been particularly rough, Iāve wondered if I could sell her to the circus (joking! I swear!). But then I got invited to Circus Spactaculum, and it sounds way cooler than Iād imagined. Iāve been given some VIP tickets to a special showcase of the circus, and you can join me!
But before I tell you how to winā¦

Videos for Toddlers & Kids: DocĀ McStuffins
Even before we gave HarleyĀ her own tablet, we were looking for video content for her. The reality is thatĀ screen time isnāt evil, and honestly, sometimes we all need time to zone out ā her in front of a video and me without a little one demanding my complete attention. That said, I still like to encourage her to watch things that expand her mind, teach her something, or are generally worthwhile.ā¦

Thoughts on Social Media as a Person vs aĀ Blogger
When I sat down to start writing this blog, I got stuck on the title. Originally, I had something like āIs Social Media Toxic?ā But the fact is, as a normal human being, I donāt think social media is all bad. Iāve made some amazing friends since moving thanks to Facebook. Itās how Iāve managed to keep in touch with a variety of old friends, even if all I do is passive stalking by seeing theirā¦

On the verge of tears... for a Mars rover
On the verge of tearsā¦ for a MarsĀ rover
A few days ago, I saw a twitter thread about the last message from the Mars Rover Opportunity, and it nearly made me cry. I keep trying to figure out why itās affecting me so much. I donāt consider myself a HUGE space or Mars enthusiast. I mean, I love speculative fiction, which is often set in space, but itās not like I regularly read up on the latest science coming out of Mars research.
