We sat across from one another sipping our coffee. She was traveling back to her college campus and had asked if we could meet. I jumped at the chance to hear about how her life was going. We talked for hours....

It’s funny, but I hadn’t thought about this consciously since my kids passed through those first three years of life: How does my child compare to others her age? Is she developing right? Is she exceptional or is it...

Milestones. No matter if you are a SAHM, WAHM, WOHM or any other mom acronym, I think we all deal with self-doubt when it comes to knowing if our little one is meeting certain milestones, particularly with learning and socializing.  Am...

My son turns one year old this month, which means family and friends have been asking for birthday gift ideas for him. With my daughter who is now three, I really wasn't sure what to tell people when they asked...

  I see you at the park with your nose in a book or your head down using your thumb to scroll through your phone. I know you read articles telling you to put your phone away and enjoy your...

Tomorrow, January 18th, we are throwing our 2nd annual Favorite Things Party for our team of contributors, and promoting all items to our followers. To say we're excited is an understatement! To give you a little taste of our excitement,...
