Even when I solicit input from my trusted and valued advisers — aka “my best mom friends” — I make the decisions and suffer the consequences. I addressed my son’s issues at school in my previous blogs — to be honest, he hates it. He hates talking about school,...

A Week of Single Parenting
Recently, my husband went out of town for a week. Leaving me at home with the kids…all by myself! After that long week, I now sing a song of praises to all single parents, especially moms.
Mommy Me Time
We all have our mommy to-do lists. After dropping off the kids, working a full day with deadlines that never end, picking up the kids, making dinner, doing homework, giving baths, reading stories before bed and doing housework, I am too tired to do anything for me.
And We’re Back to Co-Sleeping
About a year ago, I wrote about transitioning my daughter into a “big girl bed.” At the end of the post, I wrote that she now sleeps in her bed in her own room by herself. Well…not anymore!
It’s Time to Transition to a Big Girl Bed
One day after my two-year-old daughter Collyns was “napping,” I found her in her hamper next to her crib. I realized it was time to transition her crib into a toddler bed.
Toddler Tantrums
Kids crying and throwing tantrums for no reason — we’ve all been there. I have an almost 5-year-old and a 2-year-old. The tears are nonstop for assorted reasons.
Age-Appropriate Chores
Unloading the dishwasher, doing laundry, dusting, vacuuming, feeding the pets, making the bed — the list goes on and on. All of these items are daily tasks at my home that my husband and I usually do, but now our kids are at ages when they can start helping.
The Tooth Booboo: My Child’s First Cavity Filling
Ever since I can remember I have always loved going to the dentist and I want my kids to love going to the dentist as well. When Cohen turned 3, I finally got to schedule his first dentist appointment. The first trip was completely different than what I was expecting.
Sending My Child to Preschool
When I think of Labor Day weekend, I think of a new school year beginning. While almost every other mom in this country may be kicking back with a great sigh of relief that the school year has started again, I’m waking up sad because my first baby is off to preschool.
Answering My Child’s Big Questions
Life is full of big questions, especially for children. For instance, saying goodbye at any age is difficult, but saying goodbye when you are a four-year-old is difficult in other ways. Recently, I had to explain what death means to my son, Cohen.
Potty Training
When I began thinking about potty training Cohen, I sought advice from anyone and everyone. The most common response I received was “good luck!” At the time, Cohen was two and a half years old and wanted nothing to do with learning how to go potty like a big boy.
Picking a Preschool
Counting, letters and penmanship — it’s hard to believe that Cohen will be starting preschool this fall. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital as nervous first-time parents.
