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).

When we have multiple children, especially of the same sex, I think the natural tendency is to assume they will have similar interests, and hopefully to you as well. 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...

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?...

I'm pretty sure the way to my heart is through a perfect pot roast and a glass of red wine. My mom used to make the BEST pot roast. I have funny memories of us going to the Rain Forest Café and her ordering their "Paradise Pot Roast" (she was a sucker for this meal too). There...
