The moment a woman learns that she has been blessed to become a mother; the count down to a new life begins. I’ve been told that it feels as if a million and one emotions flood her being all at one time. Soon to be mommies have also shared that after thinking about how life is soon to change mommy and baby websites and subscriptions to newsletters become their new best friend.

This Thanksgiving, Cook Up Some Questions!

Nov 20, 2015

I just love Thanksgiving! I love cooking, I love spending time with my family, and yes, I even love football! But, as the quote above eludes to, do you sometimes think to yourself, “This just went by way too fast!” Or, “Am I really living in gratitude today and taking full advantage of this time with those I love?” Well, I do.

I remember the day clearly. How couldn’t I? It was the day I had dreamt of as a child; my wedding day. It was even more memorable because there was a hurricane brewing in the Gulf, and, yes, it was raining!

Two Key Points in Handling Sibling Rivalry

Aug 28, 2015

As a parent of siblings, I am lucky that my daughter is a peacemaker.  Her observant way of being in the world allows her to understand her younger brother, who is a ball of emotion.  However, there are days in our home when our daughter loses her impressive patience, and the two end up in a fight.  As a parenting and child development expert, I generally know how to handle these moments of rivalry, but as a parent I understand how excruciating and off putting they can feel.
