Yesterday I was having one of those deep and meaningful conversations with my teen daughter ... OK we were having words because we were not seeing eye to eye on something ... OK we were having an argument. Going through teenlife is a whole new mind bending experience when you are sitting on the other side of it as a mom. I have heard it said that the older a child gets the harder it is to parent. Now that I have made it through the baby years, … [Read more...]

Shame on us. "I can't" is something we teach our children not … [Read more...]

The scene is as follows: I'm in the laundry room, bending over throwing clothes into the dryer, he walks by, slaps me on the backside and declares, "Whoa that's a skinny little shredded bottom!" To which I say, "Oh great, what did it used to … [Read more...]

May Madness Moms
Forget March Madness...for all moms, the madness is in May. I mean seriously...it's like every school, church and civic organization tries to fit into the month of May whatever they did not manage to get done previously in the school calendar year. I don't know whether I am coming or going. I have this constant nagging in the back of my head, "What have I forgotten?" Can you relate? If some resort would wise up and offer a "Mom's … [Read more...]
