I mentioned a few weeks back that we have been having trouble getting Jane to eat anything besides PB&J and mac and cheese. She was even turning down her favorites like yogurt and bananas. Combine that with the fact...
What was once a lovely mid-century modern table adorned with a fresh floral arrangement and pre-set with our fine china is now the battle ground of the war being waged at my house. It is ripe with the scars of a weekend's...
While I do my best to feed my children healthily, I do not consider many things "off limits." For instance, at home, my children drink water, but on the rare occasion that we go out to dinner, I allow...
A year and a half ago, I was approached by Ashley and Elizabeth (the founders of this blog) to write for the New Orleans Moms Blog. At the time, the City Moms Blog Network was a burgeoning concept that would gather...
