Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
It’s really hard to make good friends when you are a mom, would you agree? Unless your kids have things they do that bring you together on a regular basis, everyone’s schedules make it really hard to see your friends. Winter weather doesn’t help. The people I talk to the most are the friends I [...]
Quiet. Who doesn’t love peace and quiet? I know that may seem like a given – especially if you are a mom. But I recently learned about a book by Susan Cain called Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. Here is the author talking about the book. Myers Briggs [...]
This year I’m thinking of my resolutions differently. I think in the past my resolutions have been (unintentionally) rooted in striving for perfection. And perfection is not possible, so pretty much making resolutions for me means planning to fail. So, this year, I am keeping it realistic. I resolve: To be happy. Not sweat the [...]
