My friend, Caitlin, who helped me get to BlogHer last year with Mabel’s Labels, just shared this inspiring video with me, and I thought I’d share. I dare you to watch this video and NOT feel connected with one or all of these women. I love that these are all women that Caitlin knows and…
Walgreens Way to Well Fund™
This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. The weather here in Maryland has been fluctuating between Spring-like sunny and late-Winter chilly. My kids and I have been enjoying those days of warmth and sun, and have spent many afternoons at the park (those March days…
PASS from American Express: Prepaid Card for Teens
Here’s a question for all of your parents of teens and tweens: How often do you get cash out of the ATM for your use only to find it gone before you had a chance to spend it? It’s definitely happened to me dozens of times. Every time I turn around, KitKat needs some money…
Parenting Tips are Better in Bulk
I have learned a thing or two during the last 14+ years as a parent. I’ve been through breast and bottle feeding, dealing with picky eaters, potty training, preparing for school, entering the teen years….and I continue to have experiences every day that add to my storehouse of knowledge. But I don’t know everything. I…
How to Create a Love List With Your Kids
I am sitting at my desk. I am trying to start a post inspired by a fantastic conference call I was on tonight with Dr. Karen Reivich and my fellow faculty moms with the Fishful Thinking program. For an hour we shared and discussed how our families give and receive love. It’s just before 9:30…
Winning the Pinewood Derby
Twizzler was cutting it close last week when he built his pinewood derby car the night before the annual race. He was stressed. He was a little worried that his car was going to be too plain. This is proof that fancy shapes and colorful paint jobs do not make the fastest pinewood derby car….
Creating Family Memories
All too often, when there’s a day off school (especially in the Winter), my kids and I sleep in, watch a movie or two, and (maybe if we’re lucky) bake some goodies together. Today, in honor of President’s Day, and in an effort to create some memories with my kids, I decided to take advantage…
Similac StrongMoms #babyjournal
My first baby was born in December 1996. For the next 10 years, my life was consumed by babies, diapers, bottles, breast, and baby food, doctors visits, and many late-night hours rocking children to back to sleep. I loved it, but it was hard work and a whole lot of information for my tired brain…
Valentine’s Day: The Reality
I whined (a little) yesterday about having to spend Valentine’s Eve sleeping on the couch. CandyMan was snoring, and I couldn’t sleep. So you can imagine my surprise (and giggles) when I found the other side of the bed empty when I woke up this morning. I found CandyMan asleep on the family room couch,…
Valentine’s Day, Mom Style
I spent last night on the couch. What a way to spend Valentine’s Day Eve. No, we weren’t fighting. I just couldn’t sleep over the snoring. This morning, I’m heading to a double dentist appointment for kids #2 and #3. Twizzler has his first two cavities that need to be filled. I admit I didn’t…
