Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
The following is a guest post by one of my dearest friends, Angie. I LOVE this idea. The Goodnight Book By Angie S. Our family is very important to us, but they do not live close by, so we do not see them often. And, when our son was born two-years ago, we wanted to make sure [...]
Charlie (5) had spent the better part of the afternoon digging in junk drawers and sofa cushions for change. Every time he found some coins, we practiced counting the money together. Eventually, he had collected $3.47. “How many things can I get from the dollar bin with this?” he asked. “Three,” I told him. “I [...]
So, on our recent vacation to Destin, our kids begged us to visit a local tourist trap, and we obliged. The place had go-karts, bumper cars and the coup de grace – the bumper boats. Bumper boats don’t go very fast, so this should be low-key, I thought as Molly and I climbed into our [...]
We had a fantastic week at the beach last week during which I learned a few things I didn’t know (or learned again) when it comes to beach vacations. #1 – Sand gets EVERYWHERE! #2 – I prefer the pool to the beach. (I love the idea of the beach, but when kids are involved [...]

Cat McAfee and her family are up to something interesting at their home near Nashville, TN. They grow fruits and veggies in their backyard and give them away to friends and neighbors at a vegetable stand in their front yard. Cat told me they do this to show their kids what it takes to put food [...]
I recently spent the day learning how to make the best corn off the cob EVER from my husband’s Aunt and Mom. No, no, no, People. This is not narsty creamed corn. This is the corn Aunt Charlotte makes. The kind that family members circle like sharks when it appears as part of the offering [...]
If you haven’t seen it, read The Dog Walkers first. Not long after we met the dog walkers, my six year old came to me and said she wanted to start a business, too. We decided on a lemonade stand. I knew this would be an excellent opportunity to show her the value of a [...]
Like last year, the whopping deadline known as Christmas morning once again had us up late – this year, until 1:30 a.m.!
