You’re Doing Great! Keep it Up

The other day I read a crazy statistic that said that said that 55% of moms felt they were not doing a good job when they compared themselves to other moms. That’s more than half of all moms!

Our House Was Burglarized: And Something Precious Was Taken From Us

A few weeks ago, a friend complemented a pair of earrings I was wearing and when I thanked her, I mentioned that I had just bought them for $12 at TJMaxx.  She replied that she was surprised because they looked much more expensive. My response, “Oh, since our house was burglarized three years ago, I… Read More Our House Was Burglarized: And Something Precious Was Taken From Us

Why Can’t Our Leaders Be More Like Kids

Last night I attended my son’s middle school concert. Kids from the band, orchestra, and chorus performed Christmas, Chanukah, and African songs in celebration of the Holidays. As I watched the 7th and 8th graders make their way on and off the stage, I was in awe of the diversity of the student body. As… Read More Why Can’t Our Leaders Be More Like Kids

You Will Be Disappointed…And You Will Live

One of the most important things we can teach our kids is to be resilient, to bounce back better and stronger than before, with a bit of self-knowledge or one of those essential life lessons under their belt and the ability to handle disappointment the next time it knocks on the door, as it inevitably… Read More You Will Be Disappointed…And You Will Live

5 Things I Love About Fall

Hands down, summer is my favorite season. I thrive in the heat, the humidity, and the days that seem to last forever. I adore walking barefoot across sandy beaches and grassy lawns and relish the thought of never have to wear a coat. But like all good things, summer comes to an end.

Teens: One Mom’s Perspective

Having somewhat successfully (he’s still breathing!) raised a child to his teen years, I can unequivocally say there is no “easy” stage. I used to believe that if I could just get through the Terrible Twos, Fu*&ing Fours, or Tween years, I’d be golden. Not so. Being a parent of a teenager is by far,… Read More Teens: One Mom’s Perspective
