the state of CREATING from The State of the Mom on Vimeo. I’ve been a little under the weather this week, and that’s not easy as a working mom of four. But it’s nice to know you’re not alone out there. I’m so happy to share this amazing content from State of the Mom, produced…
The summer I turned 12 my parents offered me a choice. I could get the braces I needed (for mostly cosmetic reasons) or I could go back to camp for a 4th summer. They couldn’t afford both. I chose camp. As much as I’ve wrung my hands over that choice, I don’t regret it one…

I was shocked when my 11 year old told me it was too late for her to be good at anything. Is my 6th grader really over the hill? Is it too late for her to pursue her dreams of dance or team sports? What do you think? Click through and leave your comments at…
These are my Bat Mitzvah shoes. They were a modest white, originally. I was really pissed off about these shoes. I wanted heels.
