With three children that each have different personalities and interests, I knew the day would one day come when the husband and I would be juggling a soccer game here, gymnastics there, and karate over there – all at the same time and day. To avoid twisting myself into a ...

It's been about 3 months since I started a new "part-time" work schedule, and I finally feel like I've found a groove. For a while I was questioning my decision to alter my schedule because my days "off" were complete chaos. I was running back and forth between school and ...

Last week Justice Ny and I attended the Bounce Mom's Night Out event in D.C. hosted by the lovely Jennifer James and MBC. The event was geared to moms wanting to simplify and de-stress their lives (me! me!). The food was amazing, as was the company, and the massages, ...

It's a touchy subject among moms. In some circles, even the mention of hiring a nanny sends some women through the roof and elicits a whole lot of unsolicited judgements and criticisms. If there is one thing I have learned to not do in my 6 years of being a parent, it's ...

You know when you do a strenuous workout and wake up sore and immobilized the next day (ha! neither do I, lol)? But no, seriously - that's how I felt this morning when my alarm went off. I literally groaned. This first week of school has me totally beat. Between ...

First of all, she's 4 1/2 .... when did that happen? I feel like I blinked and my baby is almost 5 years old.
Second, she's going to be doing this alone. I'm tearing up as I write now because I'm scared for her, worried about her, excited and hopeful for ...

Have you ever had nothing to write about? That's where I'm at right now. I wanted to post today, but then there really isn't a whole lot going on in my life right now. Well, I shouldn't say that exactly because I am a third of the enterprise Mamalaw Media Group ...
