Do you have children? If the answer is yes, then this post is for you. At some point in a woman's motherhood, she will find a skin eruption on her child and wonder where it came from and whether it is serious or not. I am a huge proponent of a mother's intuition. If your gut says that something is wrong, then do something about it.

Good parents want the best for their kids. Yet, the duties and the curveballs of life will limit us in many ways from doing “all the things” and being “all the things” to our children. One of the most, if not THE MOST, important thing to do for a child’s education and development is to instill in him a love of reading. If a child loves to read, then he will love to learn, and will learn, his entire life. Reading is also a vital part of developing a child's life skills and hel

Growing up, as the oldest of eight children from the same two parents, I never thought of our family as "large." I guess when your friends are from families with ten or more children, that is bound to happen. However, in today's society, families are getting smaller. That saddens me because I loved being from a big family, and I think all of my siblings did. Now that I am raising a family, five children is supposedly a "large" family. Whether you have three or five or ten ch

I come from a long line of women who prioritize health over beauty. I am not saying that they do not like to look beautiful, because they do, and they love to get all dressed up and pretty. But, my mother, grandmother and great-grandmothers were picky, but simple about what they would put on their skin. Here is what works for us:

My mom always says, "There is something so satisfying about watching a child eat something nutritious." I agree with her. I love to watch my children eat and know that their little body is being well fed. As a mom who is invested in the present and future health of my children, I am pretty passionate about healthy food.

When I first became a mother, it felt like there was so little time left over for myself. My days were spent on non-stop cleaning,...

I had been dealing with a lot of fussy behavior from my children. It was mostly due to the fact that one child would want a toy that another child was in possession of. The fussiness would begin, and if I did not intervene, fighting would ensue. “Mom!” I said. “This behavior is driving me crazy!” I also told her that I want to raise good, generous children, but also independent children, who fight for themselves. How does one raise generous children who still maintain good bo

Baby fever. It is a real thing. Are you thinking about having a baby? Don't know where to start? There are many things that you should...

Pick up your toys. Get dressed. Put your shoes on. Be quiet! Hurry up! Every mother experiences days that seem to be packed full of nagging and instructing. On top of that, we have these little independent humans who have ideas of their own and think that they know what is best. Independence is great, and we want to encourage that, just not minutes before we have to leave for an important appointment. As I reflected upon all of this, realizing in my heart that I do not want t
