Read MoreThe “To Be” List
A weary mom reached out to me recently and said “I want to have good feelings about doing what it takes each day…” And she went on to elaborate “I feel like I have so much to do, I want to do it, it is just too big and I make the littlest dent after tremendous effort.” My heart went out to this mom. And I know from my experience of working with moms that this is such a common feeling. So many moms are focused on the “to do” list. And we...

Read MoreCould Anxiety in Children be Caused by Inconsistent Parenting?
Let’s consider these scenarios. You’ve got a 5 year old girl who throws tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. One day you immediately send her to her room for a timeout. The next day when she throws a tantrum you yell at her to “Stop it right now”. Some days you ignore her, while other days you give her what she wants because you’re tired and you don’t feel like dealing with the fight. Or maybe you have a 10 year old boy that is responsible...
Read More5 Insightful Things I’ve Learned about Parenting
While my lessons are invariably different than the parenting lessons you’ve received, I thought I would share five lessons that have become clear to me over the years. (My almost 19 year old son Kai – still a big kid!) You will never be finished learning about parenting. I have been a parent for almost 19 years now, and can you believe, I am still learning.

Read MoreGot Working Mom Guilt? – Questions to Help Alleviate the Guilt
I have one vivid memory from when I was a working mom (I still am a working mom; I just work from home now). My son Kai was about 2 years old, and I was dropping him off at his daycare provider. For some reason, he did not want to stay. Desperately reaching out for me to take him, he was screaming and crying. As I was walking down the stairs to leave for work, I remember feeling like such a horrible mom. I wanted to just take him with me to work. According to the National Women’s...
Read MoreJanice’s Success with Lightening her Load
Janice came to me several weeks ago in distress. She had spent the weekend arguing with her husband over the clutter in their home. Both she and her husband had reached a point of complete frustration and hopelessness. Janice felt like a failure as a mom, housekeeper and wife. I knew she wasn’t a failure, but I needed to help her see that she wasn’t. So we set up a meeting to discuss what was going on, but more importantly, sketch out a plan to put her back on the road to...
Read More20 Things Moms Don’t Have to Feel Guilty About
Uugh. Mommy guilt. Will it ever go away? Here’s the scoop about guilt. Guilt reinforces this idea that who we are as moms is not okay. It diminishes our self-confidence and self-respect. Guilt makes you feel like you are undeserving and it holds you back from being who you were created to be. Besides, it starts this vicious cycle of guilt that is hard to break. So I thought I would give you 20 things you definitely don’t need to feel guilty about. Now...
Read MorePlanning Skills Every Mom Needs
When moms register for this month’s teleclass at the Momnificent! Mom Club, Conquering the Procrastination Plague, they have an opportunity to ask me a question regarding the topic. One mom said to me “I know I have to plan, but I keep putting it off. How do I start planning my day? Please don’t say just do it.” Only Nike says “Just do it.” My style is to educate first and then encourage you to try it. So let me share some tips I’ve used to plan...
Read More5 Ways to Be Kinder to Yourself
Yesterday my husband and I were having a frank discussion about our parenting. He was blaming us for our younger son's misbehavior. Although I agree that some of our ineffective parenting strategies have contributed to his lack of problem solving skills, we are not "bad" parents. As a matter of fact, I stressed to my husband that we are "good enough" parents, or better. Although my husband wanted to beat us up for our mistakes, I knew that we...
