For me winter is CHALLENGING. We are lucky to live in a state with very mild winters but I am still not a fan. It's harder to get out the door due to all the layers... we have to find...
I have always loved the magic and joy surrounding all holidays. The way the world seems to transform, even for just a moment, into a place filled with wonder and excitement. But there's one holiday that has always held...
My son is two and half years old. Since he was 17 months, we have been letting him watch some TV. We started with some Kidsongs (a show from the 80s with real children singing songs and dancing). It...
My daughter has depression and recently tried to kill herself. We hospitalized her for her safety, and I'll write about that later - I know it's an important story to tell, but I'm still pretty raw from it.   I'm writing...
There are some milestones you think, as a parent, will be such a relief when your child achieves them. Feeding themselves, toileting independently, happy school drop-offs. And for the most part, once your child can do all of these...
My first breastfeeding journey, well, breastfeeding job (apparently taking up 1800 hours in a year), was a huge undertaking on my mind and body. Regardless of how you categorize it, breastfeeding, for me, was a rollercoaster from the start. You...

A few weeks ago, my silly, sweet, and rambunctious five-year-old started kindergarten. She was looking forward to it for a long time. Her new school is in our neighborhood and right next to our favorite park, so she was...
I had the most beautiful little girl on 12.12.12. Every child changes you in some way. They make you stronger; they show you how much fight you have in you.   With my first baby I was able to be a...
Yesterday I found myself in the dairy section of the grocery store admiring all the milk and milk alternatives available. My third child turns one next week and we will slowly begin the transition to cow milk. I have been...
With school starting this month, my child's status as a stay-at-home child will come to an end. She will be starting preschool for the first time. Up until now, I have had the good fortune of being able to...
