Great Expectations: Summer Bucket List

Normally, on Monday nights, I would feature a guest poster for Great Expectations. And next week, we’ll start up again with another one.

This week, however, since school starts back up for my big two in just over A DAY, I thought I’d take this opportunity to look back on my expectations […]

Great Expectations: BocaFrau

I’m excited to have Susi of BocaFrau here today!

She’s my second German guest in as many weeks. Did you know that I’m half German? Of course, I’ve never been there and don’t know all that much about the culture and traditions. I should definitely meet up with Susi and Kerstin […]

Great Expectations: Kerstin Auer

Do y’all know Kerstin Auer? She’s a regular #iPPP linker, supportive blogger, and all around fun gal.

She writes at Auer Life, is a German-born Canadian, published author, and proud mama of two, and is a regular tweeter.

Say hello to Kerstin!

I did not expect for time to fly by like it […]

Great Expectations: Lilahbility

Amanda writes at Lilahbility, about motherhood and her gorgeous daughter. But. BUT! Child number two is due any day now! That makes my done-having-kids self giddy. I can’t WAIT to hear all about the newest precious bundle of newborn-ness. But for now, I’m enjoying a trip down memory lane with […]

Great Expectations: The Crowded Nest

Shannon is a fellow mother of four who has a background in adult education (and isn’t afraid to use it). Her son has Asperger’s, and she’s outspoken and frank about her views on autism and vaccines. She’s got the oh-so-straightforward and hilarious view on What To Expect When You’re Expecting that […]

Great Expectations: Queen of Chaos

Today, I’m so happy to introduce AnnMarie to y’all. She’s a fairly new Twitter pal, and such a dear person. She’s an Italian mama in a big family, which I LOVE to read about. The food, the loud get-togethers, the boisterous showings of love.

AnnMarie is an aspiring writer and stay […]

Great Expectations: Your Girls and Boys

Katie Eure is one of my favorite people that I’ve met online. Not just because she’s always been a loyal #iPPP linker upper (though I do enjoy that about her), but because she’s funny and honest and always a friendly “face” to see on Twitter (or Instagram).

Her kids are A-DOR-A-BLE. Here’s […]

Great Expectations: Literal Mom

Missy of Literal Mom is someone I love to chat with, because she’s A) hilarious B) relatable and C) so very kind. She writes about “literal parenting”, or thinking about what the way you parent, when you parent your children, and that even at our very best as parents, our […]

Great Expectations: It’s Blogworthy

Amanda Austin is the funny, adorable writer of It’s Blogworthy, a site that I’m always drawn to as a lover of entertain-o-smut. You know, the celebrity magazines, the entertainment “news” shows. She does a Celebrity Round-Up every week that honestly, is the way I get some of my “news” (I’m […]

Great Expectations: Mommy’s Lounge

Janice writes at Mommy’s Lounge, about homeschooling, poetry, and digiscrapping, along with her three gorgeous kids and husband. (How do you have time for it all??)

She does a poetry workshop, which I think is just AWESOME. She’s also very present on Instagram; she’s a “trigger happy mama”, just like I […]
