Congrats again to Kristen, the very 1st recipient of a SLY Award here at Metropolitan Mama. She's kind. She's intentional about parenting. She's honest.

Our girls, for example, manage to cover our floor and table with sauce, vegetables, fruits, and bread crumbs after almost […]
Kristen knits. This is what she said about it, "I am REALLY into knitting right now. I guess it's a bit trendy these days. I am by no means good at it, but I pretend. It's an expensive hobby, tho, so I am learning to salvage thrift store sweaters to use for just a fraction […]
