Momma’s are the world’s best jugglers: family, work, money—they seem to do it all. Us Mommas need to remember we do not have super hero powers and we do [...]

Every parent struggles with the question “How much television should I let my child watch?” Before I became a parent I had a very definite and firm answer… “NONE”. Ah, but then reality sank in.
As a single, working parent who had to commute an hour each way to work, I like many am guilty of [...]

It’s time to turn off the TV and head out for observation day at Lake Skinner in Temecula, Ca.  As a mom entrepreneur it’s imperative that I take those moments to spend time with my little boy. “Observation means to look closely mommy!” This is a new word that Isaiah has learned from “Dino Train”.

Last week was brutal as we rounded out the first week of preschool. Since I’m unemployed I forgot just how ugly 6:30 a.m. really is. Yeah, and I’m not so pretty at that time without coffee either! I was worried that my little guy wouldn’t adjust well. We had spent six weeks coasting after our [...]
