{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...]

Congratulations to Gabby Douglas, All-Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist

                          I'm probably the farthest thing from an athlete but I've been amazed by these 2012 Olympic games. I can't swim or run fast or jump over hurdles or even balance on a balance beam, but I'm inspired by these athletes. I dig their work ethic, their competitive streak and … [Continue reading...]

VIDEO: I’m Featured In A Mogul Chat

First off, know that I am (sometimes) really bad at this self-promotion thing. I don't like talking about myself or the cool things I do. I wish people just understood my awesomeness (lol) so I wouldn't have to constantly hang out on Facebook or at blogger conferences telling people how incredible I truly am. Last month I got to chat with Charles Major and do a "Mogul Chat" - a Skype interview … [Continue reading...]

Moving Forward

I've been playing this song on repeat for the past three months and when I tell you it has gotten me through some rough moments, I'm not playing. There's a lot of stress that comes along with being a modern mother and sometimes I find it hard to be my best on any given day. Sometimes I'm just tired and could use a 4-hour nap. Other times I'm not in the mood for the attitude my 5-year-old slings … [Continue reading...]

What Would You Say If Your 16-Year-Old Son Or Daughter Wanted To Have A Sleepover…With Their Boyfriend Or Girlfriend?

I think I'll just leave this here. Discuss among yourselves: Well, before I go, here's a good comment from a YML reader, from when I posted it on the Facebook page: It sounds to me that the "sleepover" part was really a side note to the main message of her book, that sex is a topic that should be openly discussed with your teens as an eventual part of any healthy, responsible, long-term … [Continue reading...]

Catch Me Playing This Song On Repeat For The Next Year

I don't know how I missed this song, or maybe I just didn't pay attention to the lyrics the first time around, but how freakin' perfect is it for this stage of my life? Waiting on graduation, waiting for my "big break," waiting for my checks to finally be regular, waiting for me to find that "thing" that makes all this work click in my head and gives me the direction I need. Enjoy this song. I … [Continue reading...]

Commercials For Young Moms, Take One

I made this a long time ago and stumbled upon them while searching for something else on YouTube. I meant to share it back in the day, but hey, better late than never, right? I think it's a little quick but you can't adjust the time. Basically, this is my story, told through Google searches. You can make your own search story here, if you so choose. :) … [Continue reading...]

Sunday Sangin’: Kirk Franklin, “Help Me Believe”

                    If there's one song that sums up how 2010 ended and how 2011 has been, it would be this song. My faith wavers from time and time and I feel like I'm floating and there's no one to catch me. But God has been there for me when I needed it the most. Always. This song gets me through the tough times and … [Continue reading...]
