Disclosure: I was the guest of Kia for a taping of The Voice and I was provided with this smokin’ hot red Kia Soul to drive to the taping. I was not otherwise compensated, unless you count how hard I laughed (see video below) while taping the video of my daughter afterwards. All opinions are…

It was a rookie mistake. With more than a month and a half of school weekends left, I should have known better. My son, you see, has a summer birthday. Unfortunately, so do several other boys in his grade. Guess where I am going with this? The first invite showed up six weeks in advance. I…
I don’t write adoption posts very often these days. It’s been over 16 years. Nobody really expects me to talk about it. They are surprised to hear my oldest daughter was adopted internationally.

I have a shortlist of designers whose jewelry I recommend and gift with regularity. Lisa Leonard is one of them. Her designs are heartfelt, without being corny. They are cool. There are a lot of designers out there who make similar jewelry to Lisa’s, in that they make hand stamped charms, and pendants with names…
In 2005/6 when I started blogging and writing on the web, I toyed with a lot of potential names for my brand. I was designing and manufacturing children’s clothing at the time, and in an effort to help the marketing of my own line and that of the many many awesome mompreneurs I was meeting…
