I’m really trying to focus more on eating well, exercising, and finding time to do the things I enjoy. For anyone with kids, you know this can be a challenge.

Sure, there are the usual outlets for stress such as calling a friend or writing in a journal, but these days more moms are turning to social media to vent their frustrations. This makes sense, but it’s important to tread carefully and not forget the public nature of the web.

We’ve all heard of “helicopter parents.” Sometimes our definitions vary, but in general they are the parents who go overboard when it comes to everything related to parenting.

I love that everywhere I go, people comment on how cool my kids are. Ok, they don’t exactly say the word “cool,” but that’s more or less the idea.

My husband tells me how cool it was growing up to eat off of the “You Are Special” plate that his family had. Being one of nine siblings, they each loved that special plate singling them out. Whether it was for a birthday or saying “good job” on an accomplishment, they found a reason to [...]

My daughter took off her dirty diaper again during naptime yesterday, and once again I had to clean up poo from all over her bedroom floor (and her sister’s underwear that she tried on, the wall, and stuffed animals…). Not fun. And that’s the fourth (or fifth?) time she’s done that recently. Sigh.
