Choosing the Good Life Through Self Care, Health, and Happiness
Ok, first priority unless you frequent mommy forums, you probably don’t know that….S.A.H.M. stands for stay-at-home-mom. You’re welcome for saving you the Google. I am very fortunate to say that I have never been a working mom. I have dabbled with a part time gig or two over the last five years, but my number […] Read more…
Ok survival may seem a bit dramatic, but if you’ve read my other sleep-related posts, you are aware that sleep is a huge priority for me. I am not the kind of gal who can sneak 4-5 hours in and push through. I despise feeling tired as all the motivation and patience for the day […] Read more…
Happy almost weekend! It’s been quite an odd week for the Ehret household as I underwent emergency surgery on Monday….more on that to come. Luckily, I am doing well and am looking forward to being back on my feet. This week was Lyla’s last week of her 4’s class at Mother’s Day Out. She’s had […] Read more…

She takes every single cue from her big four year old sis, so […] Read more…
I am not a difficult woman to shop for. Partly because I can typically rattle off at least three gift ideas at any given moment in time and partly because I always send my immediate family a handy dandy list with my most coveted material desires. Here is what made that list for the 2021 […] Read more…
This time of the year, I think Lyla receives more mail than I. The number of stores that put out catalogs with ONLY TOYS is quite surprising. While we do our best to moderate the worship of “stuff” during the holiday season, we do enjoy experiencing the fun of gifts through her eyes. The enjoyment […] Read more…
**I actually wrote this article four years ago, but recently came across it while browsing saved files. So please replace the “6 month old” child reference to a plural “four year old” and “18 month old”. I felt the need to share because now more than ever, embracing the true spirit of the season is […] Read more…
As a mother, I have realized that the morning after Halloween is officially the “holiday season”. How as a kid did it seem like Christmas took 47 years to come back around and as an adult I feel like as I’m putting away the Easter eggs our Elf on the Shelf blindsides me with an […] Read more…
