Your Mileage May Vary

August 24, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

We went on a road trip this weekend to visit my son. He's away at his grandma's for a three-week visit and we are popping up to see him on weekends to soak up some sun. We went the whole first week with a steady stream of photos, but no phone calls. This didn't really phase us, but we were curious … [Read more...]

Unplugged For Laughs

August 17, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

I don't "unplug" often enough. I work online, I curate content all the time, and I'm always on the go. I try to take as many breaks as possible from technology to focus on what's most important to me—my family. But it can be hard to juggle everything. I took a couple afternoons off this weekend to … [Read more...]

I know it's true, but I'm praying everything slows down a little. I'm just not ready to let everything go. These … [Read more...]

My Working Mom FOMO

August 3, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

I went back to work when my son was eleven months old and have been working full-time ever since. I believe in what I do to support my family and I don't resent my need to provide. Unfortunately, some days in making sure I'm covering everything, I feel I'm missing out on everything else. More … [Read more...]

Make Naptime Great Again: If My Son Were President

July 27, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

We have been watching a lot of American election coverage, mostly because we don't live under a rock and it's pretty much unavoidable. After what seemed like an eternity of listening to political speeches, I decided to ask my child what platform he would run on if he were running for president. He's … [Read more...]

Mommy’s Birthday Wish List

July 13, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

I'm 33 today and in preparation for the big day, my son's dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I had already been spoiled with early birthday gifts of Kate Spade, NY, and Wonder Woman fare from my siblings, parents, and boyfriend. I was stumped.

How Parenting Is Like an Episode of Mad Men

July 6, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

I've been Netflix bingeing and my most recent favourite series sadly came to an abrupt end. I wasn't emotionally prepared for it and I found I was pretty devastated. I was completely mesmerized by the world of advertising and realized something unexpected. Working in a nostalgic ad agency is a lot … [Read more...]

How Parenting Is Just Like An Episode Of Scrubs

June 29, 2016 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

I am a sucker for hospital shows on TV, but I tend to fall over when I'm in one for real. I'm queasy, but I had to overcome that when I became a parent and found myself there more often with a sick kid. While those real life experiences weren't funny, the humorous exploits of the cast of Scrubs … [Read more...]
