Gwyneth Paltrow offends working moms again telling us how much easier it is to have an office job than to be on set filming for 14 hours a day for a few months of the year. According to this newly single mom, to have “a regular job and be a mom is not as, of...
When you are a busy mom sometimes, keeping up with the latest fashion or makeup trends and hair styles seems impossible or it may be the last thing on your to-do list. As a full-time working my mom myself, I totally get it. But honestly, looking good doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming. The...
I love the latest commercial from Old Spice where boys suddenly turn to men and their moms are singing a sad tune that they didn’t see manhood coming. The teenage boys in the ad are seen spraying Old Spice’s Re-Fresh Body Spray then going to hang out with their girlfriends. Meanwhile, mom is seen somewhere in the...
Celebrity mom Gisele Bundchen is being called a bad mom – again. This time she’s criticized for putting her one year-old daughter in danger. Paparazzi photographed Gisele in Costa Rica driving one handed on a private beach in an ATV wearing her baby in a carrier. Neither had helmets. Apparently this isn’t the first time...
You know that family where the siblings get along, help each other, are compassionate, patient, and speak to each other in normal voices? That’s not our family.

We always remind our children how blessed they are. And as my father-in-law always reminds us, “to whom much is given, much is expected.” Thanksgiving is the time of year where we can encourage our children to give by either donating their gently used toys or buying new items for a deserving family. Giving helps foster an attitude...
It’s the day after Halloween which means it is the first day of the two day holiday where we celebrate the dead in Mexico for Dia de los Muertos. This holiday gives us an opportunity to honor our deceased loved ones. First we honor the children on November 1st then on November 2nd we honor...
I remember being 16 and studying really hard for my driver’s license test. I didn’t want to just pass, I wanted to make a score of 100%. Forme, it was not so much about being a super safe driver. It was really about earning some bragging rights with my girlfriends. We were a smart bunch...
