Family :: The Importance of Spending Downtime Together
Photo courtesy of Flickr The holidays can be a stressful time for most people – with all the shopping, dinners, activities, parties, school functions – you name it, most of us are running around from place to place trying to take it all in. So when the weekends come around, I really value some downtime with the family. Our usual attire around the house are sweats. I wish I could say that if you rang my doorbell on the weekends, I would come to the door with my hair and makeup all done – but reality is… we are probably in our sweats chilling! That is why when I was…

DIY Modern Holiday Decor Ideas
This weekend we are working on decorating our home and front porch in all things Christmas! But this year, I feel like changing it up a bit and only putting out things I really, truly love. I picked up a book at the store the other day called The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japananse art of decluttering and organizing by Marie Kondo which I plan to do a write up about soon. But one of the things she writes about is to make sure you only have in your home things that bring you joy. Luckily, she provides tips to do this, but it stuck with me…

New Live-Action Series Odd Squad Premieres 11/26 on PBS Kids
Last April at the PBS annual meeting in San Francisco, I heard about a new PBS Kids series ODD SQUAD that is designed to help kids ages 5-8 years old build math skills. Coming from a student who was deathly afraid of math growing up – I am absolutlely thrilled that PBS Kids has created this series that shows that math can be fun! You see, the show follows two young government agents, Olive and Otto, who use math skills and collaboration to investigate weird and unusual phenomena. ODD SQUAD will premiere today, Wednesday, November 26, 2014, on PBS KIDS with a special one-hour broadcast of two back-to-back episodes, along with integrated digital and offline…

Inspirational Mom :: Rachel Davis of YOU@the Center
A few months back I was asked to participate in a 100-day course from the fantastic ladies over at Enlist Moms. What I didn’t know at the time was how much it was going to change my life. That is pretty profound, but oh, so true. When they asked me to join Rachel Davis YOU@theCenter course I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life – between work, my family life, husband changing jobs, new books coming out, I really didn’t think I could take on another task. But something inside told me to give it a try and see what I might learn from this rather unique and powerful…
