In elementary school, I watched the kids who lined up to go home for lunch, or the one whose mom was room mother, or the kids whose parents picked them up in front of the school every day. I promised myself that when I had kids, I would stay home, too. I was 32-years-old when I had my first child. Staying at home was not economically feasible.

Why You Won’t See Toy Lists Like Ours Anywhere Else
Last weekend was another crazy holiday weekend around my house and I wrapped it up with an hour or so at Target (naturally). As I passed by the toy aisles I was pleased to notice how far they've come in the last few years as far as the number of high quality and highly engaging toys. Nevertheless, I still think they have a ways to go, especially when it comes to which toys they promote the most in their mailings and end caps. So what's my problem, exactly?... So glad you asked. As a mom … [Read more...]

Parenting Styles: My Biggest Birthday Party Success Was Also My Biggest Failure
I finished grad school a month before my youngest’s eighth birthday, so I had extra time (and guilt) on my hands. I was finally going to mother the way I had intended way back when I was pregnant—by doing everything with loving hands at home. This was going to make up for all the hours I’d done homework and only played half-heartedly with my children. I would emerge the Ultimate Queen of Birthday Mayhem. I would teach my children that making things really could be better than buying them. … [Read more...]
