Live music is a fantastic experience, no matter your age! Who doesn't remember the excitement of seeing a band perform live on stage for the first time?

Here are a few bands that put on a great show that will be loved by both the parents and the kids alike!
I am the parent of not one but two neurodivergent children. Like most parents in my shoes, we have joined all the Facebook and SEPAC groups in hopes of finding community and seeking help. In many ways, it's like being a part of a voiceless, invisible group not seen by our education system.
I've been through this hard, heartbreaking process...

All three required special formula due to severe dairy allergies and premature birth. I suffered from postpartum anxiety and depression and I cannot even begin to imagine how I would have coped with the idea of not...

To the passerby, and even to many people who know me quite well, I seem like a thriving and healthy 40-something professional woman, wife, and mother of two kids. And in the grand scheme of things, I am technically both of those things: thriving and healthy.
That said, I am EXHAUSTED. All the time. No, really. Not just mom-exhausted. Not...
During the past two years or so, we’ve all been seeking out comfort. We’ve taken up new hobbies, joined virtual book clubs, and explored new places to hike. Some of us found our comfort in cooking (or takeout).
My son and I have found our vice in... doughnuts.
I consider myself a generally healthy eater, but we all have our splurges....
It's been exactly one year since I miscarried our very last baby. When it was happening, I felt entirely alone. My mom had died just two months prior, so there was a giant hole in my world already. I had several women in my life who I knew had lost a baby, but I felt that their grief was...
