Starting my own business was huge. Not taken lightly. A lot of thought, time, and money was put into launching The Speech Mom and Bloombox. I would do it all over a million times. My company is still a baby. It still needs a lot of attention and has a lot of growing up to … Continue reading 10 Ways to Support a Female Entrepreneur

Tricked by a Treat
We got a package in the mail this week. Or as Hank calls it, "a pasket." It was a small bag of candy from the accountant I work with. A treat! Just for me. Why was it just for me? Because it was cinnamon bears...and I knew they wouldn't love them. (yay me!) Naturally, they … Continue reading Tricked by a Treat

Happy Camper
Hank and Gus have been really into camping. Like really really into it. And I love it. What is better than hunting frogs, catching fish, and roasting s'mores? I sure cannot think of anything. And because I let them pick all of the themes for Bloomboxes - naturally there is a camping Bloombox. If you … Continue reading Happy Camper
Don’t Stop Beliebing

When kids learn new vocabulary words, they often produce them incorrectly. Especially when those new vocabulary words have … Continue reading Don’t Stop Beliebing

Postpartum Depression: A letter to my children

He didn't laugh when I made awkward jokes about my scar. He took me shopping for a roller derby helmet when I joined … Continue reading Postpartum Depression: A letter to my children
My Son: The Professional Athlete
Hank started soccer this week. We are hopeful that starting early will give him a head start on his professional career. We have high hopes of scholarships and World Cups. Or we are just hoping this exhausts him and one night a week we do not have to battle for a full hour to get … Continue reading My Son: The Professional Athlete
Baby Food: Also, Not Instead
Baby food. So exciting! The response of a babe trying their first bite of mush is fantastic. It is hilarious and monumental all in the same messy spoonful. I love watching it happen. I am so lucky to see so many little people take their first bite of delight. It is definitely one of the … Continue reading Baby Food: Also, Not Instead
Howdy Partner
Saturday afternoon Hank and Gus put on their plaid shirts and cowboy boots and saddled up for their first rodeo. Not literally. They did go to their first rodeo, they just didn't actually participate in it. You already knew that, I was just making sure. If you live in the area and have not yet … Continue reading Howdy Partner
