I have a secret. Actually, I have two secrets.
While all of you have been debating whether to co-sleep with your babies, let them cry, or are telling me they’ve slept peacefully and alone since they came home from the...
I admit it. I used to be a yeller. One of those moms who yelled at her kids all the time when they didn't listen or did something wrong.
I'm not proud of it and I hate that it used...
I recently had my fifth child and no matter how many times I experience motherhood, I continue to be amazed. I stand in awe of the creation of babies and what the woman’s body does to birth these children. It’s amazing...
Picture this, it's Friday night ... a welcome end to a crazy week. Your sweet toddler is in her high chair while you and your husband take turns playing DJ for your family dinner/dance party. This night is off to...
Let’s face it – much of mommyhood is far from glamorous. Since giving birth, a single room of my house may resemble “kind of clean, maybe, if you don’t have particularly high standards,” but never two or more rooms...
I have an 11-year-old and a 22-month-old. Somehow, during the nine years between having my son and daughter, I forgot how challenging toddlerhood is.

Seven years ago, my journey into...
I'm experiencing fourth grade at a new school through the eyes of my 10-year-old boy. And it isn't always pretty.
He's feeling Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing most days when he rolls into the passenger seat in the afternoon car line....
Y'all know where I am going with this, don't you?
My kid doesn't eat. {How many of you just nodded your head, or said "Amen!"?!}
He is the PICKIEST of the picky and it's almost painful to eat a meal with...
My son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when he was in kindergarten. Looking back, I wish I would have explored other holistic routes first rather than choosing medication. As a young, 20-year-old parent, I did exactly what...
This season, from January through March, is full of emotion for me. Our sunshine girl, our firstborn who preceded all of our losses, was born in January. January six years ago is also when I began having a series...
