A Christmas Carol has always been one of my favorite tales. Ghosts, redemption, salvation, lesson learned AND the holidays? What’s not to love? So when I had to stay out of my house all day yesterday (thanks plumbers), I decided to treat myself to a little escapism and go see Disney’s...

After the week of fun that I’ve had (can you feel my sarcasm?) I thought it would be nice to take a walk on the lighter side. The only thing worse than a streak of bad luck going on with your family, is suffering through this bad luck in a messy, dirty house. I feel like if your house is...

We’ve had a bit of rain at our house lately. Not literal rain, but the bad-luck kind. Man cub is having some school struggles. Tenth grade is proving to be tougher that we’d hoped. He’s trying hard, but still sliding down into the pit of “bad grades.” Then...

The one shortage I can personally help out with is one of the biggest shortages we are experiencing today and that is the shortage of laughter. Mister Illusion Magic Company has what it takes to put laughter back in the work place, the home, the party, the event, the picnic, the holiday,...

Do you ever find yourself wishing that the road to parenthood came with a map? Or better yet, a guide book? That when you were given that little bundle of joy, you were also handed a book just for them? “Welcome to the world, here is everything you need to know to be the best parent to this...

My son never really enjoyed Trick or Treating, but that cut off age seemed to come all too fast for me. Halloween is my favorite time of year, it always has been, but once my son became a teen, I found myself struggling to find ideas and alternative ways to celebrate other than going door to door...

My biggest fear is failure. What keeps me up awake at night isn’t the boogieman, or the threat of poverty, no… its thinking that I’ve let everyone down. The fear of letting myself down. Whenever I start to succeed at something and gain compliments, I freeze. If my husband...

As I grow older (and a little wiser), I realize how vital it is to have your own sacred time and space. Giving yourself that space to just breathe, grow, collect your thoughts, reach out and do what you need to do mentally to re-balance yourself is crucial to your well being and mental health.

The other week I visited some friends of mine and their newborn son. He was only two weeks old when I showed up bearing gifts for the family and it was so much fun to be around a baby that fresh and new once more. Of course, they looked like your typical new parents. Matching luggage under each...

I’ve made no secret of battling my weight ever since I’ve been a member of SacMomsClub. I’ve swung back and forth for as long as I can remember between loving myself, regardless of my size (don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing) and being fed up with myself and all...

I had the wonderful opportunity this past weekend to run away to Zepher Cover in Lake Tahoe for a women’s spiritual retreat. Let me tell you what a luscious, luxurious gift time is to a frazzled mom. No computers, no TV, no kids, no cooking, no “to-do” lists for two days. It was...

When I read a recent article addressing the controversy surrounding the new Ralph Lauren ad, in which a model has been so over photo shopped that her head is bigger than her waist, I wasn’t shocked. Nor was I stunned to read the publishing editor of Shape magazine talk with ease (and no...

A lot of people I know have a hard time getting rid of clothes. Letting go of old things. I think this is just part of human nature. We’re made to hunt, gather, horde, shore up, hunker down and plan. When we try to go against that nature by “de-cluttering, purging, clearing out,...

Fall is my favorite time of year. Forgetting for a moment the abundance of comfort food that begs to be cooked, the crisp chill in the air, the lingering smell of smoke outside, I love it for all the crafts that beg to be made with your family! Who doesn’t look forward to carving out...

That aromatic scent of fresh baked bread. There’s nothing quite like it. As soon as the weather turns crisp, it seems to be all I can think about. Bread straight from the oven.
Baking your own bread from scratch can actually be a money saver AND terribly therapeutic at the same...
