There is one thing about drinking my beloved wine that causes me to pause, this particular nuance of sipping the garnet elixir can be slightly embarrassing when the neighbors are around to witness it, that is the huge crash of broken bottles when you take out the trash from a weekend (or a work week, I don't judge) of delightful wine drinking.

I am so disappointed in myself!

I started a blog in 2008 and found wonderful guidance through Mom Bloggers Club along with fantastic connections that created a few friendships that I still have to this day.  Recently MBC posted "Spruce Up Your Blog In 10 Easy Steps".  Really good tips and resources.  One I definitely needed, since my blog has been around for so long, was the BrokenLinkCheck.com.  When this service was finished with my free scan I was shocked at how many links I had to…

• Your outgoing link will be a "no-follow" link.…

It is a daunting task for parents to teach their children how to be a bilingual reader. It involves an extra effort than simply teaching them how to be able to speak and to understand the two languages at the same time. In the United States, students are also taught about Spanish by the time they reach high school. Being the second highly used language in the US, it’s almost necessary to know the language…

I read the term "media diet" the other day. (Is that a thing now?)

I have given some thought (probably not enough) to the foods that I prepare for my family and the ways to make them healthier, but I have never thought to apply the idea of "diet" to non-food items.…

You've probably heard it before: Know your audience.

You might think it's obvious. Your readers are moms, bloggers, or fill-in-the-blank. How much more do you need to know about them?

Being a busy mom, you may not have time to research and learn a lot about your audience. So instead, you just write for everyone. But if you want to maintain and grow your readership, you might consider knowing even more about them.

One way to think of blogging is picturing it like a book…

Yeah. Twins. That's two babies. At the same time. Who does that?

Well, apparently I do.

Hellllp! I need advice!

Going to the grocery store is definitely not my idea of a good time.  Sure it's nice when your kids are FINALLY old enough that you don't have to drag them with you every time you need to run out for a loaf of bread.  A few minutes of alone time can do wonders for the sanity.  However, a quick trip to the store can very…

I feel like I blinked and my daughter turned into a toddler.  It made me think about the reasons why people have children.

Where did you go?

I have a favorite game in my household that I usually play on the weekends. It's called, "Does this belong here?" It's great and you can play it, too. The rules are simple:

1. Go to any room of your home and select an item that looks out of place (for example, socks in the living room, art supplies in the kitchen, toys in the office). Hold it up and ask, "Does this…
