Jennifer Akers Necco Wafers and Thanksgiving

Those things may seem an odd couple to you, but they've both been on my mind lately. I've been enjoying Necco Wafers as a little snack while I'm writing. Have you eaten Necco Wafers? They're refreshingly smooth and sweet. A mini roll comes with 9 wafers in a variety of flavors: chocolate, lemon, lime, orange, clove, wintergreen, cinnamon, and licorice. Chocolate was my favorite, and Necco has an all chocolate roll with chocolate flavors of milk, dark, white, and mocha. I'll have to try the all-c… Continue

Dominique Anderson Living Green in the Real World

I grew-up eating pretty well. My mom was never one to feed us lots of meat and everyone in my family believed in eating lots of vegetables. We also didn’t do the sugary cereals, fast food, or sugary drinks. Of course, as I got older, I fell into the “fast food” crowd. I was pretty athletic and never really worried much about my weight. I carried my new found eating habits into college and into young adulthood, where I was less athletic and did worry about my weight. I toyed with being a vegetari… Continue

Kelly Biedny Super Delicious Sites

I’m always looking for recipes that would be feasible for the kids and I to cook together. I find tons of great recipes, but some of those I like are a bit complicated. To make the recipes two kids cooking friendly, I end up adapting various recipes to come up with something easy to cook with kids. But as I’m browsing the web for inspiration, I add many sites to my Google Reader list, so, during this season of thanks, I’m going to share some of them and offer them a great big ‘Thank You’ for ins… Continue

Amy Kehoe What Gives them the Right to put That There?!

One grocery aisle over, something heavy hit the floor with a boom. Glass broke, liquid spilled. The store was buzzing with Sunday afternoon shoppers and the aisles were crowded. Thanksgiving Eve crowded or night before a storm crowded. So the silence that fell, after the sound of…I don’t know…a loaded grocery cart tipping over, was just as interesting as the crash. I was expecting to hear voices. Either an “Are you all right?” or a “Help!” or “How did that entire shelf fall!?” Something. Some k… Continue

GetButtonedUp.com Moms Planning a Holiday Visit With The Kids

by Sarah Welch and Alicia Rockmore Divorce is hard enough on kids, but the holidays tend to make things even more painful.

Julie Cole Spreading the Love

We can all give in little ways that make a huge difference. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want their children to be kind and generous people who grow up with a desire to make contributions. There is no question that the best way to teach kids is through role modeling. At Mabel’s Labels we wanted our work lives to reflect that value, so over a year ago we started a Community Relations Committee. We recently had a look at what we have accomplished and it left us with a decent case of the warm fu… Continue

POSHpreneur Clarissa The Parent Trip- from High Heels & Parties to High Chairs & Potties

After the pregnancy test is bought and your dreams have been confirmed, you are on cloud 9. For most of us, the trip begins. You think the final destination is the delivery room.

Cocktail parties will be upgraded with balloons, clowns and lots of little screaming people… Continue

We all dream about the perfect family, 2 kids the tidy home and sitting in front of the fire the family dog.

The next day they don't spend quite as long… Continue
