Raising Children to Weather the Storm
There hasn’t been much snow this season – thank goodness. Driving in snow is not my cup of tea, cleaning it off my car isn’t something I look forward to either. But the one thing I love about the snow is seeing the look on Princess’s face when those flakes fall from the sky, turning our…
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…

Weather Anchor Mama has become sort of like a diary that they can one day go back and read about their childhood and family. It’s funny how Princess recounts events with intricate…

As a breastfeeding mom, there are moments when my boobs get so engorged that they feel like they’re gonna explode. But then there are times when my milk supply runs low. Both of my kids breastfed like champs. If you’ve been following my blog, then you know that I nursed Princess for two years. So far, it’s…
