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. At my baby shower for 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...
So recently I found out my best friend is the mistress! Let’s name her “Patty”. So Patty and I have been best friends for over 14years .. She’s super sweet and nice and liked by most people. Recently I found she has been the mistress to a man she met by a group ...

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

OK Mamas - I would love some advice on how to help my 10 year old girl. She is such a sweet kid, extremely smart (top of her class - in the spelling bee, excelled math classes) and very loving. I am worried about her getting bullied because she doesn't have a mean bone ...
I was bullied as a child with people laughing at me. Now this child is always laughing behind my back and my grand child is laughing with her. I know the child and her mother have mental health issues. I have spoken to my stepdaughter about it and she dismissed it sayi...
Hello! I was curious to get the take of some others on a situation we're dealing with at the moment. I have two kids (ages 6 and 11) and we have friends nearby who we are great friends with. We have vacationed with them, see them maybe 2-3 times per week and typically...
