I was tooling around Rachael Ray’s forums today and they got me thinking about picky eaters. I guess I’m pretty lucky because my kids will eat most things. I’m a big believer in not allowing a kid to get too set in their ways about what they will and will not eat. At least once […]

As a mother, I get little glimpses of myself through the eyes of my children every day. Unfortunately, it isn’t always flattering.
Last month, we invited Honored Friend and her children over for dinner. As my boys were unloading the dishwasher, I snuck off to change my shirt before the guests arrived. Before I could even […]

It is getting critical again. The length of my youngest son’s hair, that is. I’ve been letting it grow out. It now hangs just below his shoulders in the back and looks incredible. It’s so soft and golden and perfect. Coupled with his little personalized hemp necklaces, it makes him look like a tiny surfboarder. […]

In my home, Friday nights are Forced Family Fun nights. We eat junk food and sip root beers while we play board games. The boys and I plan for Fridays all week long, hammering out important questions like, “Pizza or nachos?” and “Monopoly or LEGO Star Wars?” For the record, I’ve started opting for LEGO […]

Parenting is a full time job. More than full time because it doesn’t come with lunch breaks and sick days. So a mom can be easily overwhelmed if she does not take some time for herself now and then. A stressed out mom does no one any good. Even just 15 minutes a day can […]
Everyone with preteens and teens seemed to have enjoyed the premier of the Disney original movie High School Musical 2 over the weekend. Though the timing was odd, the movie was about summer vacation yet came out when most kids are ending their’s, it still was a hit.

I read an interesting article this weekend called Motherhood and the Demise of Western Society. The basic premis of the article is that women who want to be “more than just moms” is a bad thing. He wraps it up in a nice shell about how society expects women to work outside the home, but […]
