Mother’s Day should be a big deal to not only celebrate the important women in your life but also treat yourself as a Mom. Yes, breakfast in bed, flowers and wonderful family gifts are traditionally awesome. But… seriously… isn’t that kind of boring?? I like to put a spin on most things and give it [...]

See that face? We all know that face. Now… Imagine this… You are annoyed with your children (it happens), with a broken ninja kicker (again, it happens), and you are surrounded by piles of toys, dirty socks and whatever else your children decided not to throw away (you KNOW it happens).

Every Easter, like most holidays, I use as an excuse to have a bunch of friends and family over and have a huge shindig of awesomeness. I didn’t this year. I felt really guilty. But, I needed time for just the kids and I. Life has been hectic and we haven’t had a lot of [...]

I continually try to encourage my kids to overcome their fears in a healthy way. I don’t push them hard but I will cheer them on, praise them and help them through it. One of my personal worst fears is not being able to obtain happiness because of some kind of fear… Except when it [...]
