I try really hard, especially now as a single mom, to keep my patience in check when it comes to my kids. I really, really try hard not to yell at them, not to take my personal frustrations and stress out on them and to remember that they are just kids. Learning and messing up [...]
**I am posting this in partnership with HoneyBaked Ham and Business2Blogger.** Things have changed a little – err- a lot – in my house since the divorce. Most of them are positive changes that the girls and I are really benefiting from. But some are not so great… like giving up holidays to the other [...]
**I am presenting this to you in partnership with Big Honcho Media** I for one can not wait for the follow up to the hit film, RIO, to come to theaters April 11, 2014. In fact, we are already celebrating with the limited time FREE RIO Read and Play app that I downloaded. My kids [...]

#EasterValue #CollectiveBias #shop I can feel it. The undeniable Springtime weather that brings bike riding, late evening chats in the driveway with the neighbors and Easter. The pinnacle of family, love and renewed hope for the year comes with smiles, chocolate and a bunny leaving colored eggs on the lawn. But what if you can’t [...]
#SpreadTheFlavor #CollectiveBias There is almost nothing better on this planet than a really good piece of cake. When you find one you like, putting the fork down can be harder than getting your kids up for school. Those cakes have a definitive place in my recipe box. They come out when I need something really [...]
