What Mothers Say Matters To Our Kids

Posted on July 11, 2018December 28, 2018 temp_adminLeave a commentPosted in DrDownload

When I’m having ‘one of those days’ at the office, I can always use a reminder that laughter is the best medicine.  A mother’s job is never done.  Today, I saw several parents … one after the next struggling to be better at parenting .  We all signed on to raise great kids, and it’s important […]

The Sisterhood of Motherhood

When one of the Facebook parents sent me the following video clip, she was careful to say, “watch it to the end.  You’ll never guess that it’s a commercial selling something.” And so I watched… all the way to the end. SPOILER alert, if you haven’t clicked the start button.  Go ahead and do it […]

I am the mother of five children.  None were born at home (although by number five, it was clear to me that her intent was to arrive in this world before I arrived at the hospital!)  After the birth of each child, I admit it:  I wanted to be at home… in my own ‘nest’ […]

I was already a mother three times over when the little line turned positively pink for a fourth time.  My husband and I both grew up in big families, but even so…there was a moment (or two) when we both thought, “Can we do this?  Can our hearts raise four children?”   That expectant hope seemed […]
