Book Release Update
Things have been even busier here these last few weeks and it has nothing to due with COVID. I am drowning in the work needed to keep so many balls in the air that, I have had to drop a few. This is why my Monday blog post didn’t go up and the Mom Wisdom …

Mom Wisdom: Let’s Link Hands
Before I share Jenn’s story I want you to know that I thought Noonday products were just overpriced products. Why would I buy something cute from her for $45 when I can get something just as cute TJ Maxx for $25 or less? When you purchase from Noonday you are buying more than just jewelry, …
I’m the Worst Tooth Fairy Ever!

“Green Means Good”
It’s a saying in our house, meaning that if it’s green it must be good, excluding the green growing on our bread! We all know that green vegetables are good for us, but how often do you eat them? My kids have their favorites but it’s hard to get in enough green vegetables into our …
Mom Wisdom: Balancing Act
Mom Wisdom brought to you today by Britt Laux One of the first questions I got when I published my first book was, “How did you do it???” The question mainly came from women with young kids (like me) and they weren’t asking about how I wrote the book. It was a desperate question, asking …
