by Kristina Mulligan May 13th. To me it’s known as “the day that never was.” After a grueling battle with infertility, I finally received the news I was pregnant. We would finally make the leap from two to three. I was ecstatic, my husband was over the moon, and our loved ones were equally full […]

We were all sharing stories from our days, tales of working from home, schooling from home, and trying to create some semblance […]

by Kristina Mulligan In my life, I’ve read a lot of books. I’ve read lots of books because I’m nosy. Honestly. I want to know everything about anything and, as a mother, I want to teach my son everything, too. Which is why I’ve been so frustrated when it comes to the lack of resources […]
