My husband and I had a wonderful New Years Eve dinner together (no kids). This is the fourth time we've actually had a "baby-sitter" for our three children (6, 5 and 2). I know... We don't get out much. I'm not complaining; it's just the choice we've made.
During our fabulous ...

Being a mom of three kids (ages 2, 5 & 6) as well as a start-up entrepreneur, organizing my days can be a challenge.
Keeping the kids on a schedule (school work, personal care, feeding, etc.) is a total full-time job. I'm constantly worried whether their meals are healthy, if they've ...

No matter which holiday you celebrate, the season often evokes fond (and maybe not so fond) memories of how you celebrated as a child. Growing up in middle-class suburban Detroit, my brother and I never needed a thing--we were lucky to live the American dream and had, dare I say, ...

My mom always made a big deal out of Christmas. Our tradition was to open one gift on Christmas Eve and Santa would come overnight and leave gifts for us girls.

If you are like most working moms, the holidays mean one thing--anxiety! If you aren't already stressed from working your regular job and running kids to and fro, throw in some holiday shopping and you end up with an extremely frazzled mom.

Thankfully, I've had enough education in the school of hard knocks to plan for this holiday season. Too many memories of Christmas past where credit cards were swiped and buyers remorse lurked for months.
Giving just isn't as much fun when you're cringing at your credit card bill ...
