My gut reaction when I think about camping with kids is ::: groan ::: "Do I have to???" And this reaction is really because I don't absolutely, 100% love camping. My kids, on the other hand, LOVE it! In...
There are no raises or promotions when it comes to the job of motherhood. No parking space next to the door or employee appreciation lunch. But as fellow mothers, battling in the trenches day in and day out, we know...
If you're like me, you find yourself running out of shampoo and deodorant and toothpaste at the worst possible times. So, last year, after one unfortunate day of smelling like my husband's deodorant all day at work (sorry, honey!)...
Ah, the dreaded pacifier. The nook. The binky. Or, if you're at our house, just plain 'ol bink. For some kids, it's their lifeline. They can't leave home without it. They can't sleep without it. They can't "be" without this...

‘Tis the season … for baby showers! Springtime always seems to bring lots of baby celebrations, and I find myself lately searching for great gifts for moms and babies. Registries often list many of the standard items: burp cloths, sleepers, crib...
I’m so excited to be a guest writer for Kansas City Moms Blog today! I do a lot of fun, easy, and inexpensive crafts with my little girl Mya. One of our recent favorite projects are these perler bead...
