MOM LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAY (All I want for Mother’s Day and a $50 gift card for one of you!) #ShareTheLuv

    This post is sponsored by Luvs. What do I want for Mother’s Day?   I’m going to let myself dream here; a dream of Mother’s Day without dirty socks on the couch, wet towels on beds, and entire soccer cleet-prints worth of mud on our floors. I dream I can have this dream without anyone on the internet commenting you’ll miss those socks wet towels  and mud cleet prints one day!! I know. I will! Let’s dream this Mother’s Day and not sob over fleeting youth. I dream my children will voluntarily lay down their… Read More »MOM LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAY (All I want for Mother’s Day and a $50 gift card for one of you!) #ShareTheLuv

    My kids are genuine helpers now, not fake helpers-in-training

      As part of their #WhatULuv campaign, the folks at Luvs asked me about what I truly value and feel thankful for as a parent.

        The Secrets of Experienced Moms. Join Me Saturday night!

          This post is sponsored by Luvs, in support of a terrific charitable promotion coming up in partnership with the ABC family comedy “Bet On Your Baby” airing this Saturday. The Experienced Mom Secrets are all mine (and now yours). Ten years into this parenting gig, I finally have a leg to stand on in the motherhood department. Actually, only one knee, as motherhood still brings me to my knees more often than I care to admit. That leaves me pretty far from the “expert” category, but I feel comfortable with the label “Experienced Mom” for… Read More »The Secrets of Experienced Moms. Join Me Saturday night!
