Nov 23, 2015

The moment a woman learns that she has been blessed to become a mother; the count down to a new life begins. I’ve been told that it feels as if a million and one emotions flood her being all at one time. Soon to be mommies have also shared that after thinking about how life is soon to change mommy and baby websites and subscriptions to newsletters become their new best friend. These websites and subscriptions assist with possible names, health related questions, and help her gauge her baby’s growth stage at a specific time.

This Thanksgiving, Cook Up Some Questions!

Nov 20, 2015

I just love Thanksgiving! I love cooking, I love spending time with my family, and yes, I even love football! But, as the quote above eludes to, do you sometimes think to yourself, “This just went by way too fast!” Or, “Am I really living in gratitude today and taking full advantage of this time with those I love?” Well, I do.

Joan Rivers’ Retirement Mistake?

Nov 18, 2015

I don’t think it was a big secret when Joan Rivers passed away that she was still working at the tender age of 81.

How Understading Me, You, and Us Makes for Better Parenting

Nov 6, 2015

I can feel the heat of my heart pounding on my ears.  I notice my daughter holding her breath as I sternly tell her how I “hate irresponsible people.”  As I take my next breath, I stop dead in my tracks and realize, wow, complete mom fail.  I have transformed my moment of teaching and showing my daughter about responsibility into a moment of shaming her.  I stop and tell her I am too upset to speak and think this process through.  Once together again in the car, I attempt to explain how “Mommy got to the point, where she was being hurtful rather than helpful.” The vulnerability of noticing my mistake and pausing to understand what was going on for me allowed me
