VIDEO: Young Mom Summit – From Teen Mom To M.D.

Welcome to my "new" video series, the Young Mom Summits. Think of these as mini conferences/events, where you can hear from some inspiring people who will give you encouragement on being your best self. I'm working to re-brand this series so people can truly walk away feeling like they've learned something and are a better person for talking the time to participate. Episode THREE in the series … [Continue reading...]

VIDEO: Educating Teen Moms About Breastfeeding

Last week I got the opportunity to talk with Jamie Oyugi, founder of Mama*cue, a teen breastfeeding support program in Philadelphia. She is getting ready to do big things in 2013 by helping teen moms set and meet their breastfeeding goals. In our chat, we discussed how YML can partner with Mama*cue and spread the message. And just as I told Jamie, I am here to help. There are so many … [Continue reading...]

VIDEO: Young Mom Summit – Tips To Make The Most Out Of Being A Stay-At-Home Mom

My first Young Mom Summit was something I just came up with during those moments when my brain gets quiet and I can hear myself think. "Hey, it would be a great idea to bring moms together, on video, to talk about issues that are important to them, right?" So I gathered up a few of my favorite young mom friends for a video interview on making it through school once you have a kid (catch it … [Continue reading...]

VIDEO: I Get My Husband To Explain How You Can Get Your Husband To Help Out Around The House More Often

A couple comments on yesterday's Facebook post got me thinking about the women who feel like they are single moms even though they've got a husband. The "single married moms" are everywhere (I used to kinda sorta consider myself one) and they are angry, full of resentment. Marriage is not what they thought it would be. I know, because I used to be there. But over time, my husband and I have … [Continue reading...]

{VIDEO} Watch The First “Young Mom Summit”: Student Moms Talk About Juggling School, Work and Family

My goal in 2012 is to do more things that scare me, that push me out of my comfort zone. So that means more video. I prefer the anonymity of the keyboard, I like letting the words on the screen represent me. But as YML continues to grow, I realize I won't be able to hide forever. So two weeks ago, I asked four of my student-parent friends to participate in the first Young Mom Summit. Powered by … [Continue reading...]

Do We Need Another Show About Teen Moms? Maybe

I have high hopes for TLC's new show, High School Moms. On the surface, no, I don't think we need yet another series chronicling the ups and downs of teenage mothers, particularly if the show is for entertainment. But I'm for it, because this show follows the lives of girls at Denver's Florence Crittenton High School. In the first video below, they interview Megan Singleton, who I met in D.C. a … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} Baked Spaghetti (Like Lasagna But Easier)

This has become one of my go-to recipes when I'm craving some comfort food. I always have a taste for lasagna but for some reason, I think of lasagna as an all-day affair. (Remind me to share with you my new lasagna recipe sometime.) I saw this recipe in a Food Network magazine a couple months ago and was ready to dig IN! Click for Paula Deen's Baked Spaghetti recipe To make it a little … [Continue reading...]

{VIDEO} Young Moms Chase Gold In The Olympics

I'm not an athletic person at all, but I'm married to a man who literally took two weeks off work to watch the Olympics. Talk about a fiend. I've been impressed with the athleticism and the incredible commitment it takes to become the best at your sport. Recently, the Huffington Post put together a piece on mothers competing in the Olympics and wouldn't you know I was able to pick out a couple … [Continue reading...]
