My New Year’s Anti-Resolutions

With the start of the New Year also brings that special time of year when people make obligatory resolutions to become better. But most resolutions don’t last, and they aren’t that useful as self-improvement tools if you’re just going to break them. So let’s not make resolutions, let’s just do it.Apologies to Nike, because it seems like they had the right idea all along. Here are a few way to change your life for the better this year: Focus on You

What Does Your Drink Say About You?

You can’t judge a book by its cover but sometimes you can gauge a person by her drink. Do bartenders have your type wrong or is it a perfect match?

How Important Is It, Really, to Nurse?

December 25, 2014 by Guest Writer Leave a Comment

How Important Is It, Really, to Nurse?

This is a guest post by Dr. Laura Nathanson, author of The Portable Pediatrician. Most of the parents I see know full well that breast milk is optimal for babies. But does that really outweigh other factors? What if the mother is returning to work at four, eight, twelve weeks? What if she has inverted nipples or…

Making Peace with Loss on the Holidays

Making Peace with Loss on the Holidays

The holidays are about comfort and joy, right? That wonderful Christmas tree smell. “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Feliz Navidad.” Kissing under the mistletoe! I don’t mean to be all bah humbug.

Destress The Holidays

Strange thing to admit - but the holidays are hard on parents. No matter your religion, the proximity of your immediate family, or your enthusiasm (or disdain) for this time of year.

Two Key Messages for a Good Start to 2015

I usually write about parenting because I spend a lot of time doing it. With six crazy kids, parenting is a full-time job. But, like most busy moms there are other things going on in my life and I try to keep positive in those areas as well. My perspective is the only thing I…
