Jazz Up Your Day with Funky Kidz
Funky Kidz is a hit at our house. Find out why!
If You Can’t Find It on Google, It Doesn’t Exist
The day has come where people honestly believe that if you can’t find it on Wikipedia or Google, it doesn’t exist. I suspect that most of my readers know this already, but for those that don’t…
Day Care Drama
We got notice two weeks ago that our day care is closing. We had only been there for a couple of months, so I wasn’t really prepared for the emotional tailspin that occurred. This is going on my list of “Things Nobody Tells You” about being a parent!
True Feminism
What is feminism? Is it global activism? Fiery speeches? Rallies? In my world, feminism is simply good parenting.

What do you do when you spend more than $150 for a special treat as a family and your kids decide that they hate it? Go out for pizza, of course. Learn to see the opportunities for fun wherever you go.
Birthday Party Dilemma
When did birthday parties become such a costly proposition? When we were younger, it was just a group of friends hanging out and eating cake. Now it seems you need a second mortgage to pay for the latest and greatest play space affair!

A Big Day in January and Simple Gifts
When motherhood clashes with history-making world events, which one wins out? It turns out that one isn’t all that meaningful without the other.
Step Aside, Mommy! Letting Daddy Lead
If I disappeared, my husband would be just fine. Of course, the kids wouldn’t get luxuries like lotion and diaper cream and they may have too much sugary cereal and hot dogs, but they would be clean, dressed and fed. And, they would feel completely safe and nurtured by their dad. He knows them just as well as Mama does.
What’s Dad’s role in your family?
