There’s a New Diaper Bag In Town Called The Duet 2-in-1 Diaper Tote WIN ONE HERE!

March 7, 2015 by Melissa Chapman 33 Comments

Congrats to our winner April! I don't know about you but I LIVE for my diaper bags-like- I can't get enough of them! No I don't have a baby, or a toddler- but I do have a laptop,  an iPad, a Tablet, a smart phone and these things are usually with me- in a SKIP HOP Diaper bag. Why a diaper bag? Because Skip Hop makes ones that are super sophisticated, with plenty of pockets and a really soft … [Read more...]

My husband is not romantic and says I just need to accept it

March 6, 2015 by Melissa Chapman 3 Comments

After 16 years of marriage- I get it-- my husband and I are very different- or more precisely we have very different ways of demonstrating our love for one another. And yet you'd think I would have made my peace with this and somehow moved on...but I can't. I want the entire package, I want the fairytale. I want the guy who, when we're sitting at a red light in the car, reaches over and takes … [Read more...]

March 3, 2015 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

I'm a woo-woo girl. My daughter is not. What do I mean by woo-woo? I get overly excited about things, my daughter does not. And I've found this is THE HARDEST PART of parenting. Realizing that your child is her own unique individual person and accepting that she is not and will never be, EXACTLY what you want her to be. I know that sounds completely egotistical- as though I had a child and … [Read more...]

Is it okay to let our sons play dress up?

March 1, 2015 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

An acquaintance of mine who shall remain nameless, told me I was a bad mother and was behaving in a reckless manner in regards to my then seven year old son. Why you ask? Did I leave him stranded in a dark alley filled with child predators? No. Did I force poison down his gullet? No. Did I raise a hand to him to discipline him? No. So, what was my transgression? I allowed my seven year old to don … [Read more...]

Smart Beauty: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Vein Disease But Were Too Squeamish to Ask

February 28, 2015 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

I've never been too focused on my legs. Ok that is not entirely true. When I was younger I was obsessed with the cold hard fact that at four feet 11 inches my legs were short and stocky and no matter what I did- short of taking a magic pill I would never be one of those women who possessed fabulously long legged gams. The good news I learned as I got older was I could wear super high heels which … [Read more...]
