HoldingEva3

According to a recent survey of more than 2,000 U.S. moms, nearly a quarter of them said they get nothing for Mother’s Day! Nothing. How is that possible? Mother’s Day is this Sunday, so get the mother in your life a gift if you haven’t already done so. Before becoming a mom, I didn’t understand how hard this job was. It seemed so much more straightforward before actually having to do the job myself. Our mothers have endured many sleepless nights, made sacrifices, and experienced mental and physical exhaustion distinctly unique to moms. So moms … [Read more...]

Mommy life can be all consuming, but last night I stepped out for a little fun.

The kids also did tons of arts and crafts and Eva got her nails painted again. After a long day … [Read more...]

Showing Affection In Front Of The Kids…

shutterstock-couple-hugging

  Whenever my husband and I show affection to each other in front of the kids we get the same response from them. Eva seems to like it and always pushes us together and says, “more hugs.” David doesn’t pay much attention to us and Samuel gets upset. He gets especially upset when my husband kisses me on the lips. Experts say that showing appropriate affection in front of the kids (kisses on the lips and hugs, nothing sexual) is good for them. It helps to them to see and what a healthy relationship looks like. It also gives them a sense of security, which is … [Read more...]

It was a beautiful weekend. Happy Monday! … [Read more...]

Making time for mom to have a little fun is important. It's important for moms and for our kids.

The Knicks won and we got to watch A-listers like Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Stiller, Diddy and others cheer on the Knicks! I even got a picture with former Knick, Allen Houston! … [Read more...]
