We've gotten numb to reading the details of another shooting splashed across the news. Usually, it happens in someone else's community where the victims' names are unfamiliar.
Yesterday, it didn't happen somewhere else. It happened here.
Reat Underwood, a freshman at...
On January 26, 2011, I found myself sitting at my desk for over an hour, trying not to stare at the phone. What is it they say? "A watched pot never boils?" I had told them to call me...
I used to joke that I wished I could have my pap smear more than once a year because I missed my midwife.

From the time my high-spirited daughter was one year old, she was very clear in letting me know what she was passionate about - even from the back seat of our family van.
She always had an eye peeled as...
I fought it. I fought it hard.
I was convinced that, if I gave into it, my little boy would be lost forever. He who still thought that dancing with me to 80’s pop music was a valid form of entertainment...
Nearly all of us have a cell phone these days; more than likely, it’s within a grab’s reach, even at the present moment. While we, as mothers, need to make conscious efforts to separate ourselves from this distraction on...

As I look around my daughter’s playroom, I see brands like Lego, Step2, Fisher Price, and Melissa...
My kids love reading books; I love reading with them. Spending time exploring books together slows down the pace of our day, even if only for a short while. Often times, my kids get tired of reading the same ol'...
"Congrats!"
"She's beautiful!"
"He looks just like his dad."
When a baby is born, we all know exactly what to say. If for some reason you were having trouble, just find the "New Baby" section in the card aisle at your local...
... and continues in our schools.
I can tell you exactly when I decided I didn't like reading. I was in 3rd grade. Gashland Elementary. Mrs. Gossage's class.
