This young gentleman insists that his mom buy these maxi pads. He may not know what they are, and he may not know what they're for (spo...
Travel's imperfections - whether brought on by your own hand or another's - open the door for serendipitous surprises and unexpected adventures. These chance occurrences have always led to my favorite and most memorable experiences.
Well, it's official. My third son officially told me he hates me for the first time this week. I walked past a gelato shop without giving into his tantrum for a cone. An elderly couple happened to be walking by us just at the moment I was explaining why we don't have treats on school days.
Have you heard the one about the mom who is certain that her daughter remembers her own birth? I have... although for a very long time, I wished that I hadn't.
This year, my 11-year-old, and at least half of her friends, are planning to dress as YouTube sensation Miranda Sings. I am SO on board with this costume.
By Nancy Gould Chuda, founder and editor-in-chief of LuxEcoLiving and co-founder of Healthy Child Healthy World. The holidays are coming. You just sp...
Whatever comes out, whatever CC has been battling and whatever happened to get him to where he is now, instead of pitching for the Yankees in the playoffs, he just taught my son a few valuable lessons in a way that he understands.
Coby loves walking to work at a place where talented people do great hair in a friendly and cool space. With two kids in elementary school and an uncompromisingly rad sense of style, Coby is definitely a Wonder Mom.
Even with the luxury of technology and seemingly endless information, new mothers often feel ill-equipped to raise their children, struggling to learn as they go, adjusting their methods and mannerisms based on their unique circumstances and more than a little trial by fire.
Vice President Joe Biden, in his statement said that the United States "is the only civilized country in the world with so many mass shootings." My question was, "you call this civilized?" When do we decide that our civility is defined by our ability to actually behave in humane manner and protect humanity?
A young boy may voice his desire to be a nurse, or a girl may share her aspirations of exploring outer space -- but what happens to these early goals as the years go by?
Welcoming close to one hundred current and former foster youth, along with their adorable children, to the event, Raising Baby provided the young parents with multiple workshops and activities.
Meet in the middle and pick your battles. While the marriage ship has sailed, you're in this parenting thing together, for the rest of your lives and I don't have to tell you that's the most important role you and your ex-partner will play.
And the cycle of judgement, shame and guilt is continued through another sanctimonious Facebook post. I wonder if the dreaded mom-guilt actually originated as a result of mom-judging?
As soon as he got that acceptance letter, I knew my life was about to change forever. My two best friends were actually leaving me. I was the last bird in the nest.
When you're a first-time mother, everything feels huge and important. It's difficult to know what advice to follow or what timelines to pay attention to. Having a new baby is difficult enough without worrying about all the endless obligations and deadlines you (or your baby) are supposed to be meeting.
Two words that lie subtly at the root of so much virtual drama. Time and time again, I find myself at the centre of an all-out Internet milk storm...with naysayers from every direction descending to convey their utter distaste at the very thought of nursing a child who has the ability use a sippy cup...
The U.S. Census Bureau just released its report on income and poverty for 2014. The good news or bad news, depending on your perspective, is the overall rate for adults and children living in poverty did not change, from a statistically significant perspective, compared to 2013.
September. Back to routine and structure; back to reasonable bedtimes for kids and adults, alike; back to resuming my role as the night cop: "Twenty minute warning.... ten minute warning... five minute warning... BEDTIME!"

Being a working mother can be extremely fulfilling. It can give you a meaningful sense of purpose, keep you challenged and provide your children with a strong role model. It can also be utterly ridiculous, awkward and exhausting.
We are closing in on the holiest day of the year for Jews: Yom Kippur. It's the day of atonement. As a serial sinner, on a daily basis (minute-by-minute, really), you better believe I will repent.
Reinvent yourself. Don't rest on you laurels, don't question your intuition, and don't tell yourself you're too old, too fat, or too busy to reassess your situation and reinvent yourself.
A real estate ad was circulated in the Seattle area last week, and it is now circulating all over the internet. An advertising win for the ad agency it represents? Oh no, it's a major advertising fail!
