As Mom of the Week in July 2013, Anitra felt her greatest asset was her voice. She loved to sing, read dramatically and do voice-over commercials. She enjoyed providing vocal percussion while her 5-year old son Zafran made up songs about his toys. Music was a driving force in her life, but she had just had a second baby. She was busy caring for her children, doing private vocal coaching and writing songs. By December 2014,...

Together the oils in this kit are a remedy to more than 50 ailments, (think infections, traumas, germs,...

Nothing upsets a Mom more than seeing red welts from mosquito bites all over her child. Children often react badly to the bites, which can get huge and wildly itchy. And every Mom worries about the ticks that can cause Lyme Disease. Yet we hesitate to put insect repellent on our children because of dangerous toxins they contain. Now there is NATURE’S CLOAK, an all-natural, plant-based mosquito and tick repellent. Made by Greenwich’s Turtle Moon Health, Nature’s...

On the spectrum of helicopter parents, I hover somewhere in the middle of all the hovering. I've been known to hand feed my 6-year-old daughter bites of broccoli if she's too distracted to get the job done. I hold myself back from adding activities to our calendar, restricting my kids to a mere "too many." I won't comment on how many bottoms I'm wiping on any given week. [caption id="attachment_5487" align="aligncenter" width="370"] Great article by one...
