Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Fall is right around the corner and I have yet to shop for Princess. It’s not because I procrastinate, I just don’t have enough time to head over to the mall. My work schedule has changed a bit, which leaves me less time. Online shopping has become my saving grace. I recently heard about…
We started potty training boot camp on a Wednesday, and by Friday things were going well. Princess’s favorite part is flushing the toilet, and closing the seat (in her case, slamming the seat). She also likes washing her hands. It makes her feel all grown up. This time I didn’t have to call daycare to…

I get asked all the time if I’d ever consider moving out of state, and I usually have a hard time answering that question. Here’s why… Reading this NY Daily News article confirmed to me that the world is far from being a bed of roses. In fact, this story is a nightmare come true….
I pride myself in being the best mom I can be. I’d go through hell and high water to make sure Princess has the best care. I don’t believe in spoiling a child. But, I think that it’s important to provide them with opportunities. I wasn’t a kid who had it all. But, my mom…
