1. I’m Not a Mom Anymore
2. Sex and the Single Mom: Why You Should Date, Even if You’re Exhausted
“Being a mom is the most tiring pursuit I’ve ever encountered. Second to mothering? Dating. Both, though, are worthwhile and deliver a huge payoff. So, if you’re a single mom and dating is currently at the bottom of your to-do list, I encourage you to move it toward the top.”
3. Knowing When Enough Is Enough
“As moms, we often find ourselves in an ongoing state of trying to work out our next move. Did our child have enough to eat? Is there enough time to do the laundry, go to dance practice, and finish homework while allowing a healthy amount of quality time? Watching the news, reading various parenting blogs, and speaking with our team of health professionals are continuously at the tip of our fingertips.”
4. Why I Joined a Book Club
“If reading is your thing, I highly recommend jumping into a book club or starting your own! And if it isn’t, maybe joining one will surprise you! It’s a great way to stay connected to old friends, meet new ones, discover new series and great authors, learn something new, and enjoy a great time.”
5. Finding Love After Divorce
“Having been divorced and then having my daughter showed me that people shouldn’t feel pressure to do things “in order” or to get married to someone because “that’s the next step.”
6. It’s a Hard Knock Life…for Girls in Sports
“So, to all the “girl moms” out there. Let’s try our best to keep them confident, keep them strong, and, most importantly, keep them participating. We could all have the next Olympian, basketball star, lacrosse recruit, or professional ballerina on our hands. We have to keep them going!”
7. Why I Love Being a Baseball Mom
“Seeing my son make these memories with his team and dad makes me so happy. His team has become a second family, and I am so happy we decided to have him play travel ball. Despite the crazy schedules and the running around, he is happiest being on the field, and if that’s where his heart is, that’s where you’ll find me.”
8. Help, I’m in Perimenopause!
“Being aware of my symptoms has helped me. I keep a log that I can take to the doctor and discuss what I’m experiencing with medical professionals. Lastly, don’t be afraid to talk to others about it and do your research (from experts in the field).”
9. In My Sports Mom Era
“Now that time is filled with cleats, crazy calendars, and lots of sports. The past couple of years have been a transition, but now I can say with 100% certainty (with all three kids in sports) that I’m in my “Sports Mom Era.” I can also say with 100% certainty that I’m here for it.
10. Talk to Your Children About Down Syndrome
“Explaining differences to your child paves the way for understanding and acceptance of peers with Down Syndrome. Even better is to focus on the similarities and educate yourself and your child that they are more alike than different.”
