Since the beginning of the second week in July, my local Walmart has had the "Back to School" supplies out -- front and center. I couldn't believe it. I am sure some parents would have seen this debacle and sang Handel's...
There's a monster in our room right now calling us clueless parents. Did I really just hear that phrase come out of my teenager's mouth? Weren't we just proofreading her Spanish essay together? How did I end up insulted? I...
I sat on the living room floor completely defeated, worn out, and feeling burning hot tears sear a path down my cheeks. I was ready to give up, give in, and give out. My body was spent. My mind...
Do you ever have those moments when you just feel like a total failure?!?
It happens to the best of us, so please don't be so hard on yourself. My most recent #momfail moment has actually been a pleasant surprise!...
Facebook groups and motherhood discussion boards tout "fed is best."
And it is. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to eradicate the guilt and shame associated with breastfeeding struggles or the inability to breastfeed. It also doesn’t seem to elevate empathetic discussions...
I have always been jealous of baby whisperers. I was not one. I will never be one. I truly love a newborn, but I was never good with them. It’s probably because I’m a little on the high-strung side....

Recently, I posted on my social media page regarding my toddler's nap time and grocery shopping. Surprisingly, I wasn't the only mommy with this problem or who felt this way. Thanks to my 20-month-old, grocery shopping has become my...
One of my favorite ways to spend time with my kids is to read books. Maybe it's because they let me cuddle and steal a kiss while we read without telling me to leave them alone. Maybe it's because...
I make that sympathetic face when you tell me that your child discovered the great truth this Christmas.
But, inside, I'm really not feeling it.
You had your fun for much longer than I did. And no one's out there giving...
“They grow up so fast. It happens in the blink of an eye.”
For years I have heard other, more experienced parents utter these words to me. And while I understood the sentiment and grasped the concept of the years of...
From the moment I found out I was having a little girl, I dreamed of the moment she would start taking "baby dance." I imagined tiny little girls, twirling around in their tutus and clumsily falling on their toddler...
School has been back in session for a few weeks now and the creative, cute lunches are harder to keep up than you originally thought! So let's get back to the basics, using real food that's yummy and healthy....
