Ask any Baton Rouge mom what she wants for her children, and health + wellness will be one of her first responses. Whether it’s the mental health of her teenagers, how much screen time to allow her toddlers or struggling with breastfeeding, moms simply want the best outcome for their children’s overall health.
Trust me ... there is a lesson here, hang in there.
I recently scratched an item off of my bucket list and I didn't even have to pack a bag. While I'd love to take an exciting vacation to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, it just isn't in the cards (or the budget) right now. But a Brazilian bikini wax ... totally doable! With swimsuit season arriving, I decided to take the plunge and have a little professional grooming done for the occasion. And seriously, a Brazilian bikini wax has been on my bucket list for a while; I just never took the plunge for fear of the appointment breaking the bank or umm, removal of ALL of the hair...
We all want to be liked. That’s just human nature. That goes back to preschool years when we wanted to get picked during Red Rover and wanted to be invited to sleepovers. Everyone wants to be liked by everyone. When you get older, those desires don’t go away.
What about when someone doesn’t like you? What do you do? Here’s the thing … and get ready for it. You might want to sit down for this.
NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE YOU
Let that resonate for a second.
Why though? Why wouldn’t everyone like YOU? You are nice. You are smart and funny. You are a wonderful mother and would do anything for anyone. Why wouldn’t people magically gravitate toward you?

As moms, the health and wellbeing of our children is at the forefront of our minds. Balancing busy schedules with school, sports and social lives can make it hard for our kids to consistently eat healthy, exercise, perform well in school and manage the stresses of life in a healthy way.

Researchers are measuring things that influence how our kids perform in school,...

As the arrival of Baby #2 nears closer and closer, I can’t help but think of the vast difference in how I’m preparing (or lack thereof) for everything this time around. Of course last time was different; it was my first baby. I did what most soon-to-be moms do and attempted to prepare in every way possible. I read my pregnancy books religiously. There were registries made with products I thoroughly researched and thought I needed. Showers were thrown, a bedroom was renovated, and the bump was meticulously documented every week. Baby finally arrived and I realized no preparing actually prepares you for such a life-changing event.
This time around I still broke out my pregnancy books as soon as...
