Last night I had a conversation about diversity with my 4 year-old son. My little guy was coloring and practicing writing his name when he mentioned that a child on his sports teams doesn’t speak. “He doesn’t have any words, Mommy. It’s kind of weird.” I immediately stopped what I was doing. I knelt beside him and began…
Welcome to the Wine-Down! It’s Thursday. That means it’s almost Friday. And that means it’s time to break out the wine and celebrate surviving another week of motherhood, mayhem and just barely making it. Go you!
Do you need help on how to fix a broken friendship? Is it me, or does it seem as though friendships were much easier when we were younger? Good, bad, or ugly, I always knew where I stood. Best friends one week, dumped the next. I rotated friends in and out like my latest pair…

Exercise is both physically and mentally important. But being a busy mom, when do we find the time to exercise when our lives revolve around the baby? Look no further!
I love Halloween because it’s such a fun day! But I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you some of the funny thoughts that cross my mind during the course of the evening. Will my kids even wear their costumes? Many years, getting the kids to put on their costumes is such a…

The church I attend has a Mom2Mom class and we’ve studied numerous books by the highly proclaimed childhood behavior expert, Dr. Kevin Leman. It was during one of these studies that I heard, for the first time, that we should NOT praise our children with the typical “yay, good job!” Instead, we were told to encourage them.
Welcome to Sassy Meg’s Weekly Wine-Down Challenge, where I drink wine FOR YOU! Yes, I love you so much that I’ll drink lots of wine just for you. In fact, I’m such a good friend that I am willing to sabotage my weight loss “progress” (insert eyeroll) and sacrifice my weekly snacks to taste wine on your…
I discovered that once I was able to sit with no shirt on and not worry about how I looked, or how he latched, or how to have small talk with someone who came over to “help,” but there was really nothing for them to do… it just kind of happened. First a drop came out, and then another drop and then bam: the floodgates opened. And we got back into our groove and the milk flowed.
