Because the Best Mom is a Happy Mom
Dig into parenting advice, tips, easy kid's activities and how to manage a household.
It’s 2pm on a Sunday. My phone rings.
It’s my daughter. Hmmmm…this is her week at her dad’s house. I wonder why she is calling?
I pick it up and see her on the other end with her angry eyes, arms crossed, ready to fire off about some major injustice happening.
Sigh. This is not the position I want to be in.
There never seems to be enough time.
Ever find yourself saying that?
After feeling like you spend all your time putting out fires, how can you feel like you accomplished anything in a day?
I have a question for you.
You’re in a faceoff with your kid. At least, it feels like a faceoff.
They want candy before dinner. You said no.
Her little fists are in tight balls. You know what comes next.
Utter chaos and explosion.
How do you achieve life balance when there are so many things to do? Zorro might have your secret.
Need some stress-free, affordable, but yet, practical gifts for new parents?
This comprehensive list is your one-stop-shop!

I don’t understand why you can’t just behave!
You say this to your kid. Maybe you scream it.
Because it seems like whatever you do, it is a constant power struggle with your child.
Wish you knew how to deal with what seems like never ending tween moodiness? This method of talking through the issue and then teaching tween’s about their emotions works.
Vitriol.
Anger.
All seemingly directed at me.
But its not about me. And its not about you either when your child turns on you with the rage of emotions and backtalk.
It’s 6:30am and already, every task is causing a tantrum.
“We have nothing I want to eat!”
“Bud. Its Ok, just pick something else.”
“No! I don’t want anything else.”
My 6-year-old son and I stand in the kitchen. We’re the only ones up. I look at the ceiling wiling my husband to get out of bed above me.
Middle school was complete hell.
When my daughter entered sixth grade this year, I was terrified.
I didn’t want her to think it was her fault that other people were mean to her. I wanted her to know how to confront problems and the typical, stupid ways that people would react.
Ways that had nothing to do with her.
Girl drama is one of those things.
