Being a good mom involves more than just taking care of the kids. It’s about creating a nurturing environment where emotions can be expressed, issues can be resolved, and happiness prevails. This is no easy task, especially with the everyday stresses of life. That’s why maintaining strong and healthy marriages and relationships is crucial for moms.
All this love on Facebook and Instagram leading up to Valentine's Day has me reminiscing on the early days of my marriage. Back when we were young and wild and free.
Oh my gosh it was the worst.
It was September of...
As a mom to a kindergartener, it's kind of like I started real school this year, too. And I have a lot to learn. About arriving before the first bell. About how to find the main office and the...

Remember: "Stinky? Hungry? Tired?" if the baby is crying.
Don't buy the Target-brand formula — that stuff is barf central.
Take time to be away...
When my son was a newborn, I spent my days sitting around with friends and their babies, swapping stories and pieces of advice on everything from feeding and sleep to choosing childcare and the right fuzzy booties. Truth be told,...
Let's talk about sex. Can we? Because it's been on my mind lately. Yes, I'm just like a teenage boy these days: All I can think about is getting laid.
Except when I'm thinking about not getting laid. Like when...
This post is for my sister.
We have our differences, but one of the strands that ties us together is that we are both mothers. Your two boys are now entering adolescence, while I spend my days waddling around after a...
I was at an art class recently with my two kids. A little girl in the class hit her forehead on the corner of a bookcase, and within seconds a huge goose egg formed. Amidst lots of crying, the teacher asked...
She didn't always make my life difficult. In fact, I think she used to like me.
