These days are full of work, running my kids around, and cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Sound familiar? Ever feel like escaping the mundane? Ever want reassurance that you're not a bad mom? Ever feel...

Are you "woke"? I wish I were, but my teenager certainly doesn’t think so. Most of the time I’m trying to keep up with what he and his friends are talking about, listening to,...

School is around the corner, and as much as I would rather continue to bask in the laziness of summer, I am starting to plan ahead. I have the supply list from my kids'...

I’m a practical girl. Sometimes too practical. I tell my children to always eat their dessert last. When we go out for a treat I say “no” to the extras. “You don’t need any...

I remember when I first moved to San Antonio and I saw beautiful, colorful wreaths on homes all over town. I was living in an apartment near Downtown at the time and had little...

Teachers, counselors, librarians, principals, and social workers are back to work as school begins for the school year. We educators enjoy summer break. Our stress level lowers, and we enjoy time with our own...

High school was not a walk in the park for me. I wasn’t athletic, in band, or in pep squad. In my tiny Texas high school that meant you were definitely not in the...

I did not grow up learning to cook. My mother did all the cooking and only rarely would allow us kids to do a small task. She was quick and efficient and had no...

School is out for the summer, and for teenagers everywhere this means more time to play video games. Yes, I roll my eyes and sigh at this too. But it is a part of...
