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.

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 […]

Mornings are not a happy time around here. Neither boy wakes up in a good mood, a trait they have gotten from their mother. We’re a grumpy lot, the three of us. I used to just accept it, that we would be three grumpy bears each and every morning. Sure, there were a few times […]
