Have you ever wondered what to do with the cupcakes that your kids inevitably didn’t finish? You haven’t really lived until you’ve tried “recycle cake.” We even get intimate with other topics like why every mom should try period panties and the value of a nursing cart when there’s a newborn in your home.

Take The Day Off Once upon a time, before I had my youngest, I hated taking time off. I can’t explain it. I would drive from Zachary to New Orleans and back again, just for work. Looking back, that was insane (for me because I don’t like to drive that much). Once, I had a tire completely blow out and still drove to work. I even did it when I was the only one getting up with a newborn, even pregnant with the absolute worst morning (all day) sickness.  Looking back, I wonder about all of the things I missed that I didn’t have to miss. My big boy went through so many milestones in nursery. Even though I was friendly...

Bedtime Stories For Generation Alpha The room is dark. It's my sons' bedtime, and the younger snores peacefully while the older tosses and turns. (If you have ever slept in the same room as a snorer, you might identify here.) From the top bunk, he gives a sigh of exasperation. "MOM," he does not whisper. "I CAN'T SLEEP." "You just have to try," I tell him. "Let your mind slow down. Breathe deeply. Focus on relaxing your ankles … now your knees … now your thig--" "Mom," he hisses, "it's not working."
