The end of the day nears, Mom works to get her two sons into bed snug as a bug in a rug so that they can fall into a deep state of slumber {for a few hours}. As soon as her sons fall asleep she goes upstairs to tend to her oldest, and only, daughter. This is their Mom/Daughter time, a cherished half hour together of reviewing homework, laughing and rambling about whatever. All that this daughter wants is her Mom to listen. Due to Mom’s great listening skills, her daughter tells her near everything about her life, school and […]
Moms: It’s Ok to Refresh
A lot of moms feel guilty about taking time off for themselves or asking a family member or friend to watch their kid(s) for a night while they take a much-needed rest. It’s perfectly fine to have a little “you time” here and there, or even to take out-of-town trips. The Perfect Weekend Getaway I traveled to Chicago recently for work but decided to stay an extra few days just to relax and spend some time alone. I’m a single mom and I own my own small business as a licensed personal trainer, so I often feel a little run […]

Becoming A Parent
Before I was Mom I could drink any alcoholic beverage, stay up all night long and sleep all day. Before I was Mom, I loved to go out dancing and partying all night. Before I was Mom I loved to randomly invite strangers back to my apartment for an “after party” fun game of cards and maybe even some home cooking. I had fun, I had a blast, but that was BEFORE I BECAME MOM. It is so funny how I went from party queen woman to responsible Mom person. I drive through my town daily and see all these […]
But Mom … I just …
I am seriously soooo sick of hearing “but mom…I just…<insert 6 year old’s reasoning behind why she can’t do something or why she wants something here>“. Although I must admit I giggle thinking about the fact that I have a negotiating princess, it can be frustrating. No matter what my conversation is with my oldest, her response is normally “but mom…I just…” I can be asking her to get ready for her shower, asking her why she can’t remember what she did in school, or anything. It doesn’t matter what the question is, I am guaranteed to have the same […]
