My husband and I have been making the rounds this month to a vareity of graduations. Mostly high school and college graduations.
It's a staple in my home: Lassi. No, I'm not talking about the collie Lassie, but lassi. It's an Indian yogurt drink and it's fabulous!
When I read a recent article in Time Magazine on attachment parenting, I thought to myself, are you kidding me? It sure put an end to my speculation that sometimes my parenting is extreme!
You have to agree: moms take the blame for just about everything that goes wrong! It's true! Just ask my kids!
In less than a month, the kids will be home for the summer! Already, summer planning is under way.
My daughter was out the door this morning with breakfast in hand: peanut butter toast and a bananna! Our alarm didn't go off and we slept in a little too much! Ouch!
Yes, 'tis the season for sweaty palms and roller coaster emotions! High School prom season is in full swing. And, what a swing!
If you have a senior in high school, you're probably dealing with this! I've heard about it from several friends whose children recently got rejection letters from their dream school!
Solving childhood obesity is a complex problem. A recent article in Vogue magazine about a mother who put her obese child on a diet has set off yet another controversy surrounding this problem.
It's probably, in my opinion, one of the most important conversations you can have with your children - for some, even harder than the sex conversation: teaching your child about respecting people of all races.
Have you looked at the plants in your garden lately? Thanks to our early spring, things are starting to green up much sooner than they normally would. But what's normal these days when it comes to our weather?
It's spring cleaning time at my house! A ritual for our family each year. I start by de-cluttering the closets.
Spring. The season of new life; reaffirmation of faith - and Easter baskets! Yes, time to think about chocolate and bunnies or both! The miracle of the resurrection for many Christians, commemorated with the ritual of gift basket giving.
Every Friday during Lent, you're sure to find a fish fry at the neighborhood church. They are fun and a great way to socialize. But if you're looking for something other than fried fish, how about baked fish?
The month of March is loved for a lot of reasons. But one that often goes unnoticed is the fact that the month of March is also recognized here in the U.S. as Women's History Month.
It's that time of the year again, when we all come face-to-face with our children's teachers! Parent/Teacher conferences!
I had to laugh out loud when I read the other day that France is abolishing the word mademoiselle from official documents. The word (French officials say) is condescending and sexist.
Don't take them for granted! Terms of endearment that you share with your loved one. I could never picture myself calling my husband hon but seems that's become part of our terms of endearment to each other these days.
I admit it: I have rescheduled for a yearly mammogram - twice now. But no more. I'm headed in for my annual mammogram that I should have done several months ago.
