Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I’ve taken on the guest blogger role on other sites. However, I’ve never featured one on Weather Anchor Mama – that was until fellow blogger and mom Kaitlin Gardner approached me about writing a guest post on how to teach pool safety skills through swim lessons. I learned how to swim in high school. But after…
As the saying goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I like to kick of the morning with a yummy, yet filling dish. Oatmeal pancake is my favorite by far. Not only is it tasty, it’s also very healthy and simple to make. Here’s the oatmeal pancake recipe in 6 minutes. Ingredients…

I’ve been a hustler since the age of 14. Before my TV gigs, I worked as a candy striper, telemarketer, babysitter, retail sales person, substitute teacher, model, you name it. I worked my butt off! When I got my first TV gig, I paid serious dues. There were times I actually worked for free! Heck, there…
I stopped making new year’s resolutions a long time ago. They are a waste of time. Just think about it; you commit to losing 20 pounds and five months later you end up gaining ten. It’s happened to so many of us. Rather than setting ‘resolutions,’ set goals. Let’s start with the definition of the word…
Nowadays I can’t get through cooking without Princess wanting to take over. So, I do what most parents probably won’t do. I let her have at it! Here’s a breakdown of the easy eggplant parmesan recipe that our family enjoyed. Here’s what you’ll need: One medium to large eggplant cut into 1/2 inch slices 1-2 cups panko breadcrumbs 4…
