If only teaching our kids about their bodies were as simple as helping them learn the alphabet. 

Two of my kids have birthdays in March, which is a reminder that birthdays are another of those things that I find difficult as a parent. 

Keep a long memory for the good moments and keep a short memory for the bad ones. 

Children take up a tremendous amount of time, energy, money, and just about everything else that we could otherwise spend on things that we enjoy more.

 Is it really the case that we want our children associating the expression of love with the mere distribution of mass produced tokens of emotions that they don't really feel?

Knowing how to respond to children when they have lost control of their emotions is often difficult.

When you decide that you want to have a baby, there’s nothing more joyous than discovering that you are pregnant.

This holiday season, take some time to think about whether your family traditions are really bringing you closer to one another and adjust as needed. 

I decided to leave the Santa question alone until my son asked me directly, and then I would tell him the truth.

An open home, on the other hand, is a place where people can come at any time, even when it's not perfectly tidy (which our place never is), and feel at home.
