What would you do if your son wanted to wear a pink dress to school? Cookie magazine featured an article in its January issue, that illustrated one mom’s struggle to allow her son the freedom of wearing a dress to school. The mom, Sarah, decided that her son’s freedom of expression was far more important that […]
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought that it might be nice to focus on ideas that inspire parents to spread a little more love and positivity around the home. Being a disciplinarian doesn’t mean you have to be mean. In fact, acting kindly on a regular basis, makes it easier to enforce discipline and create a greater […]
On last nights episode the world watched as single father, Scott Terrill attempted to gain control over his two out of control sons, Lane, 11, and Tate, 5.
How many of you were cringing at the behavior of Tate? What about the eating habits of the kids, but especially Lane?
I have to admit, Scott Terrill […]
“You know what really irked me when the kids were young?” My mother in law and I were having our weekly conversation and sharing our reflections on motherhood, this morning. I always love hearing her war stories, because she is an extremely even tempered person and I cannot image her getting upset over anything that her thirteen […]

Now here’s a topic that’s as clear as mud!

To be perfectly honest, as much as I love and adore my husband, I have to admit that IF I […]
“When I was a kid, we didn’t have fancy things like fresh drinking water!” I can still hear Dana Carvey spoofing the age old tradition of elderly story telling. It was a very funny Saturday Night Live skit, until I heard myself echoing those very same sentiments the other night. After I picked my jaw up off […]
Research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance abuse compared the drug and alcohol consumption patterns of teens that ate family dinners 5 or more times per week, with those that ate them 2 or less times per week, and the difference revealed is dramatic.
Families that don’t often eat together have teen children that […]
Days like today, when my seven little mischief makers are all home, it really throws a wrench in my day. The usual routine of cleaning, blogging and enjoying my three adorable toddlers has to be put on the shelf and replaced with 16 hours of pure damage control/fight prevention. I have found myself so frustrated and fed up […]
