My heart ached. I sucked in my breath. My eyes filled with tears. I did not expect to have this reaction to the 9/11 Memorial. I expected to see a nice monument with the names of those that lost their lives in the towers and on the planes. What I got wa More
I was watching a daily news program during my morning 15 Minutes of Silence. If you mamas out there don’t practice this habit, trust me, you need this. Start your day, before the kiddos wake up and the chaos ensues, with at least 15 minutes of only yo More
Sometimes I feel guilty when people complain about how busy they are, like we’re getting away with something scandalous. Maybe we are...? When it comes to being busy, our family is definitely not keeping up with the Joneses. Our lives are full, and at More
I always get told by his girlfriend she’s scared of to come back home with me and that she cries. She’s fine when I pick her up but I don’t know. She’s 3 years old.
My 8 year old daughter is an extremely sound sleeper. She's very difficult to wake up and she sleeps like a log. When I try to take her to the bathroom at night, she's like a deadweight and it's almost impossible to get her to pee at that time. So she's still wearing pul...

Everyone knows that carrying and birthing a baby is physically challenging, that recovering from having a baby is physically challenging. But no one tells you that it doesn’t end there. Parenting hurts. Physically and emotionally…. More
I was watching a daily news program during my morning 15 Minutes of Silence.
If you mamas out there don’t practice this habit, trust me, you need this. Start your day, before the kiddos wake up and the chaos ensues, with at least 15 minutes of only you, your fav coffee mug and whatever you fancy: Candy Crush, The Today Show, Facebook, planner planning, bible journaling, staring off into space, dreaming of going back to bed in 15 hours. Whatevs. You choose. And because wine is frowned upon in the mornings, this really is the next best thing. It is so good for the soul and for your AM ‘mom mood’…. More
Sometimes I feel guilty when people complain about how busy they are, like we’re getting away with something scandalous. Maybe we are…? When it comes to being busy, our family is definitely not keeping up with the Joneses. Our lives are full, and at times, very full, but we typically aren’t “too busy.” What I mean by this is that we make a conscious effort not to overextend ourselves with commitments. We don’t subscribe to the belief system that being busy is good. That being busy is necessary. That being busy defines us…. More

She admitted she likes girls & boys, however, I feel this is a “trend” among her peers; she says there are other girls in her class who are also bisexual (although, she doesn’t believe they are). I’m wondering if she might be trying to “fit in”?
