My kids are embroiled in year-end projects at school. The projects are time-consuming and demand great attention to detail and deadlines.
Through these projects, kids learn a lot about time management, research, public speaking, and poster design. I’m proud of the way my kids have tackled the challenge of completing a massively important assignment. The [...]

With Mother’s Day behind us, let us turn our attention to the men in our lives. I adore mine. He is a doting husband, attentive father and brilliant businessman. The only weakness I’ve found in him happens to weigh 1,000 pounds* and consumes most of his spare time.

I hadn’t heard [...]

Dear Mama Drama:
I am trying to get my five-year-old son to be more independent in bathing and dressing himself. I have been working with him for the past two weeks on this and he still cannot do anything on his own. I am frustrated and he starts crying every time I tell him to do [...]
