Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
I love raising my daughters. I always wanted girls and I’m so proud that they are big-hearted, loyal and care for others. I know they are going to do great things to move the hearts and minds of people. But they’re not the only ones! Girls Giving For Good Helps Girls Give! Yesterday, I learned about a fantastic new organization started by girls for girls. Girls
A few weeks ago, a friend asked me about yoga. “I don’t know anything about it,” she said. I was very surprised – I thought everyone knew about yoga and the benefits it can provide a stressed-out mom! My love of yoga started when I had a job with a reduced fee gym membership.

Today was a good day because today we had parent – teacher conferences at Seven Gen. I’m pleased to report that not only is Amelia doing well, she’s making excellent progress.

So in the third and final presidential debate of 2016, the subject of late-term abortions came up and now I feel compelled to write another post on abortion. Late-Term Abortions – When Do We Mean? First, I think we need to clarify the definition of what “late-term” means. It’s pretty ridiculous to assume that women come in just before their due date (as Trump said) and abort on
This post sponsored by Lucky Vitamin; all opinions are my own When I started on my journey of detoxing my home, I focused on the obvious things: food, cookware, cleaning items, glyphosate-free lawn care. It was a challenge but it took me a while to realize that I wasn’t doing enough – not by half. Now, as a work at home mom who only does
This summer, Boiron offered me a seat at Rachel Pontillo’s class, Herbal Skincare Preparations class at the Rodale Institute in Kutztown, PA. We had a lovely day and I learned a lot, especially as someone new to DIY herbalism. This class is designed for those who wish to grow their own herbs and prepare them for skincare products. I’m not at that level yet, but I did learn a lot and wanted
I was compensated for this post; all opinions are my own. For us moms who have kids on limited diets, back to school time can be stressful! Things that run through our heads: Will the teacher give a food restricted on her IEP anyway? (Been there) Will they grab food off another kid’s plate?
