Snow days. Jingle bells. Too much "all things peppermint." Gifts to buy. Gifts to receive. Kids who need to play outdoors but its a windchill of 22 degrees OR it's just too much work to bundle their squirmy selves...
Recently, I set out on a new journey in life to take charge of my overall health and happiness, and there’s no better way to begin than with a diet overhaul. Now, when most people hear the word “healthy”...
Gift giving is something I love to do and I like to think I'm pretty good at it. I spend a lot of time throughout the year paying attention to what people say, hint at, etc.; and it's no...
Moment of truth, mamas... Raise your hand if you remember your teenage years? Keep it raised if your teenage years were not exactly all roses and sunshine. Hands still up? I thought so.

Guess how many times she wore...
While scrolling through Facebook one evening, I saw a college friend of mine posted a need for adoptive families to make profile books and come forward to adopt babies in her community. I couldn't quit thinking about it, it...
My daughter's father and I aren't together and we haven't been since before she was two. It's taken years of negotiation, compromise, and fighting to get to where we are today, but we've made it. However, despite the fact...
I’m one of the many moms guilty of giving too much, unwanted advice to new parents. We have good intentions. We just want things to be easier for you than they were for us!
However, there were 5 pieces of...
Do you remember butterflies? Not the pretty, winged, hatch-out-of-a-cocoon kind. The kind that flutter in your stomach when the person you’re crushing on is around.
The ones you feel the moment that person walks in the door.
Looks over...
Every year, Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th as a way to honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Originally Armistice Day (a day that marked the end of World War I), legislation was...
