Winner of 6 Tony awards including best musical in 2017, Dear Evan Hansen took Broadway by storm when it opened. It came on the scene on the coattails of the phenomenon that was (and still is) the 2016 Tony award winner,  Hamilton. Whether you are a fan of Broadway or not, I think this...

Deciding to go back to work after maternity leave can be downright nerve wracking. Some moms may decide to stay at home and others will decide to go back to work, either because, financially they don't have a choice, or they don't want to give up the career they spent the first part of their li...

I will never forget how important it was to my parents that my brother and I receive the best education possible. To be a parent is to want the best for your child in every way, and you hope that you will be able to provide for them so that they can have even better opportunities than you did. You s...

Do we as working moms have the same opportunities as males in the work force or even as females who don't have kids? I guess it depends on who you ask. Many employers have concerns about women with children or even women without children who will likely decide to have them in the future. There are c...

Of course we often try to foster this by introducing them to things we like, be it sports, hobbies or other activities. We also hope t...

We have all seen those bumper magnets on the back of cars. I always shake my head and quickly move away from those vehicles. Has anyone else seen those vehicles only to realize there is a single older person behind the wheel? They were either too lazy to remove the magnet, or they are just learning?...

We all want to do the best we can when we become a parent, but I  think the perfect working mom is a very lofty goal. In fact, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect parent at all. I am not even sure how you would define this. One might say you have to do everything right to be consid...

As we approach our Nation’s Independence day, I thought it would be great to make a dessert that reflects the theme of the holiday. The Stars and Stripes are close to my heart, and now they are in my stomach too! Haha. Here is an extremely easy to follow recipe. It is simple, delicious, and you can ...
