Cafemom or Cafe Crazy?

Cafemom or Cafe Crazy?

I’ve joined Cafemom over the years, never really getting out of it what I thought I would.

I thought it was a place for Mom’s in every step of the journey we call motherhood. From pregnant moms, moms of toddlers and every stage after that.

I have children who are all in school now, one is even in highschool, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t seek support from mom who’s I think would understand…

Life While Parenting, Cleaning and Trying to Keep Up

Life While Parenting, Cleaning and Trying to Keep Up

It’s pretty much the same no matter how only your child is, except that parents to older children have the opportunity to get a little more shuteye than the ones with infants!

I work from home, which really means that while I work, I get to sit with all the things that need to get done in my house in a day, laundry, vacuuming, dishes, cleaning the bathroom, etc.

Did I take dinner out of the…

Body Insecurity

Blogher recently had a call for submissions to write about “Body Insecurities”. I didn’t even have to think about whether or not to submit my article, unfortunately due to the high response rate I wasn’t able to. So I decided to write about it on my blog!

So I decided to write about it on my blog!

First, let me get started by telling you that I’ve never had a hard time with my weight, even when I…

Online experiences vary from person to person. Some people love to be online sharing their daily adventures, one at a time. I’m not one of them, but I can understand it.

There’s a need to connect to other human beings, it’s innate. We want to feel part of a community, to belong.

As much as I understand it, I don’t necessarily agree with it, and I certainly don’t want to be a part of it, at least…

Homemade Taco Recipe

I have a budding chef in the house who loves to bake. I wanted to broaden her skills a little by making dinner together. 

We used our Mortar and Pestle to mix our seasoning together. By smelling each spice individually and then mix together will enhance her understanding on how to use different spices and ingredients.   

So without further ado, here’s the amazing taco recipe my ten-year-old…

Our Experience with Proactiv

Our Experience with Proactiv

My daughter has been suffering from acne for the last few months. She’s at that age where it’s quite common to get some pimples, but the reason I use the word “suffer” is because some have it a little worse than others.

We’ve tried everything, store-bought meds, natural products, etc., and nothing seems to help. So we thought we’d try Proactiv. I can’t tell you home many times I’ve seen the…

Pfeffernusse - My Favorite Holiday Cookie

Pfeffernusse - My Favorite Holiday Cookie #recipe #@cookie #baking #holidays #german @delish

Now that I have a moment to come up for a breather after Christmas I wanted to take a moment and share my favorite cookie recipe.

I tend to only make them during holidays, but whose to say they couldn’t be enjoyed at any time of year?! They are traditional German cookie that has a “peppery” taste to them, not overloaded in the pepper department, but they might not be for everyone’s tastes buds.
