We all have those moments when the passive aggressive police come out and try to get under your skin. Remember: passive-aggressive behavior is driven by the feeling of being powerless. Don't feed into it because it will only encourage their behavior. It gives them what they want—to fe...

Sports Moms



Having played sports myself, I am proud my daughter is an athlete. Living in a digital world has certainly contributed to the obesity epidemic. Kids just don’t want to go outside and play anymore. It’s all about the Tik Toks, Fort Knight, and YouTube videos. Not only have there been lower extremity ...

Easing Back to Work After Maternity Leave




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...

How to Cope with the Angry Teen

 

Sometimes I look back and think “Omg I must have made my parents INSANE!” I remember the screaming matches with my mom and the silent treatment I gave my dad (because we didn’t dare yell at dad without that death stare).

Please Be Patient, Student Driver! 




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?...

Chicken Valdostana

This is another childhood favorite of mine. Chicken, prosciutto, mushrooms, and fontina cheese are central to this dish. The chicken is so tender and the mushroom sauce makes it a delicious topping for both the chicken and your plated side. I prefer capellini (angel-hair pasta), but rice or steamed ...

The Wine Cork



Ever wonder where the idea for the wine cork came from? Up until the mid-17th century, wine bottles were sealed with clay, fabric, wax, and leather. Glass became more commonly used, but would often fracture and break into the bottle, as those closures were often difficult to remove. At that time, ea...

The Art of Self Care

Too many of us truly neglect self-care. We come up with all sorts of reasons to put ourselves on the back burner. Whether it’s due to work, family, or other commitments, there are many of us that just don’t carve out the time we need to decompress, myself included. We do have to remind ...
