Wife On The Go

Dear New Mom, I know you’re getting lots of advice right now. I know sometimes you just want to tell everyone to mind their own business. Other times, you’re so afraid that you’re not getting it right. You’re waiting for someone to tell you that you’re not completely failing at this mom thing. You’re not […]

I’m not a big fan of the cold. In fact, I’d rather it be 100 degrees outside with no air conditioning than be cold. I hate being cold. My husband can attest to this fact, having spent years watching me crawl under three blankets in July because I’m always cold when I’m sleepy. I live […]

Working from home is a great way to help make ends meet if you want or need to stay home with your kiddos. There are tons of obvious benefits to a work at home position, but there are also some draw backs. Lately, I’ve been replacing my “work income” with a work from home income […]

All moms need time to ourselves to relax, rejuvenate, or just escape. It seems like “alone” time isn’t what it is cracked up to be! I am sure all you moms would agree that no matter when we try to have “alone” time there is no such thing!  I know I  need just a few […]

Going back to work after having a baby is hard – really hard. It’s one of those things that take quite a while to adjust to and you may or may not eventually get used to the idea. For the time-being, though, let’s pretend you don’t have an option. You’ve crunched the numbers and done […]

  For some odd reason, about a year ago, I started receiving two separate parenting magazines via subscriptions.  Subscriptions that no one I know will own up to signing me up to receive.  Had these magazines been delivered 15 years ago, I would have seen them as a windfall; now, they’re a nuisance.  A monthly […]

  At times it can seem like there isn’t enough time in the day, but if you use your time wisely, you can get more out of it than you ever dreamed. Here are 3 of my favorite ways to rejuvenate and reset the mind and body while your child is getting their daily dose […]

I remember a friend telling me her story. She couldn’t get pregnant – they had been trying for years. In an unusual twist of fate, though, not too long after her and her husband started the adoption process, they found out they were expecting. I remember shrugging my shoulders and saying “I can’t get that […]

To our friends and family,  We love you – all of you. Unfortunately, it seems as if we’re not exactly on the same page about some very important things regarding boundaries. As we get closer to our due date, it only makes sense that we are very clear with you about our expectations as new […]

  Never had ADD until I had a kid. I was a genius before I got pregnant.  I could multi-task like a boss, usually worked two jobs and killed it on trivia night.  I could start a project, whether at work or home, and get it done on time, every time. I could debate with […]

Just when you think the day is done (because your kids are now in bed), you think twice and realize that a golden opportunity is among you! Bedtime for the kids means finishing up the days chores and taking a few moments to yourself- without interruptions! Read on to to the Next page to find […]

  Now that my little darling is 17 years old, I often look back over milestones in her life and little, quirky things I will miss during her various stages.  She is sarcastic, sometimes caustic, but the two of us can make each other laugh like no one else.  And I take pride in the […]

    SAHM vs. Working Moms I must have been under a rock for the first decade of my daughter’s life, because I wasn’t even aware this was a debate. Being a single parent, working outside the home and being a mom are just what I do. I didn’t really have a choice. And I’m […]

5 Annoying Habits that Make Me Want to Tell My Daughter SHUT UP! “MOM, Sister said the S-word!” The S-word… which is it? Sh#@? Stupid? Oh, yeah, Shut Up. Yep, those are bad words around my house. The first time I heard my 2-year-old say it, I was like, “Who’s said that around you?” Of […]

  So, you’re a first-time mom, aren’t you? You’re probably wondering how I know, right? Isn’t it obvious? You’re just like the rest of us – ever-so-slightly crazy… Want to know how I know that? You’re going to get a kick out of this! Tell me how many of these are true! Here are the […]
