Should Parenting Students Have Access To Lactation Rooms?

A local story about a young mother who was suing her school for inadequate access to a lactation room caught my eye a couple days ago, probably because this is the type of issue I've researching my thesis.

With Jessica Simpson allegedly pregnant again, giving her a soon-to-be two kids under two, and a couple of my friends recently receiving positive pregnancy test results while they still have infants in the home, I figured what better time to share what I know as a veteran (ha!) mom of kids less than two years apart.

Introducing #GoodJobMom – A Challenge To Bring More Encouragement And Support To Motherhood

I was at the library a few days ago with my kids and as we were getting ready to leave, the skies opened up and it was pouring rain.

As I was checking them, tired from a long day and thinking about how I still had to get them home, make dinner, get their … [Continue reading...]

I Can’t Stick To An Exercise Routine – Can I Blame My Kids?

Before I had kids, I wasn’t in the greatest of shape but I did work out regularly. At least three times a week I would do something, whether it was going to the gym or popping in a workout DVD. I was always within five pounds of my goal weight and I was happy with the way I looked. But since having kids six years ago, I can’t say any of that has continued.

How To Get Your Kids To Fall Asleep And STAY Asleep At Night

For the past year or so, my daughter has been fussy at bedtime. I would put her and her brother to sleep and while her brother would be asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow, she would lie there, awake, for hours. I'd put her to bed at 7:30 and at 8:30 I'd hear her call out for me. And then at 9. And then at 9:15. And then at 9:30. It was like she was fighting it with everything she … [Continue reading...]
