Welcome! There's a place for you here - LAUNCHING MAY 14

"Where are all the mommy blogs?" Said no one, ever.

But here I am, starting a "mommy blog." I've wanted to launch this blog for over a year now because I see a void in the online community of moms. There's not much out there for working moms.

Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling mom, working mom or whatever kind of mom you are, being a mother always has its challenges.

As a working mother, I found myself needing different content than what's already out there. I searched high and low for it. I needed more hardcore meal planning on a budget with no time. I needed advice on how to manage my evenings, how to deal with the transition back to work, and if "me time" would ever exist again.

When I launch May 14, the site will be ready for you with my unique take on meal planning, tips on returning to work after maternity leave and products that help me save what little precious time I have. On May 14, the blog will be live with a handful of posts all at once chock full of things I've learned in my first year as a working mom.

So while I have a heart for working moms especially, no matter what kind of mom you are, there's a place for you here. Everyone could use a meal planning tip, time management advice or even a podcast recommendation (boy, do I ever have podcast recommendations!) and I'll have those aplenty for you.

So the wait is almost over for me! If you want to be notified of all future posts, click the SUBSCRIBE button at the top right of this page and you'll get an email.

What’s in a name? The name Surely Saribee is a nod to both of my grandmothers. One is named Shirley. The other calls me Sarah Bee/Saribee.

Yes, read to your baby!

Babies are just lumps of cuteness that sleep, eat, cry and poop for months. They don't understand your words, but you still talk to them, right? While they don't understand the stories in books, it's still important to read to babies. Research finds that early exposure to language has a “profound influence on children's learning through life,” according to this NPR story from 2014 . There's nothing to lose by reading to a young baby, only something to gain. To read to a baby or child, you are close to them, which is a bonding experience too! The article states: "Just one-third of children in families below the poverty threshold are read to daily. That statistic improves as family income rises. But less than two-thirds of children in families making $95,400 for a family of four are read to daily, according to the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children's Health. As a result, children in poorer families lag behind in language processing as earl

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana steel cut oats in 15 minutes

The Instant Pot is a kitchen gadget that seems too good to be true. It claims to be able to replace several other appliances and cook time consuming things like sweet potatoes in only a few minutes. It's not too good to be true. And for a working mom, it's a necessity. When I do the bulk of my cooking on the weekends, It's not unusual for me to use my Instant Pot four times each weekend day! If you're not an Instant Pot owner already, at the very basic level, it's an electric pressure cooker that also has a saute mode and a slow cooking mode. You can cook rice, hard-boiled eggs, pasta dishes, soup, a whole chicken in it and more. If that's not enough to convince you, maybe this recipe for chocolate peanut butter banana steel cut oats will. This recipe is my version I've perfected over a few months, using bits and pieces of other recipes. And of course, all of the ingredients can be found at Aldi. I add a little bit of sugar to it when the bananas are
