Busy Moms Can Find Time to Cook

Posted March 6, 2013 / Tee B

Guest Blogger: Tee of That’s IT! Mommy

Dinner time is an important meal because it’s one of the few moments most families spend time together during the week. Unfortunately, like every busy mom, sometimes I have very little time to plan a meal. I just don’t know what to cook. And sometimes I’m just too tired to cook!  I admit that cooking doesn’t come easy for me. I’m always looking for simple recipes and to save time on cooking and preparation. (more…)

Surviving Dinner Time

Posted March 1, 2013 / Mariah

Guest Blogger: Mariah of Formula Mom

Life as a working mom is a busy one. Teaching is my chosen profession and mom is my chosen career. Between those two responsibilities, there are days when I just run out of time. Add in being a wife and having a home to care for, I have to find ways to save time and get things done each day. I will admit that time in the kitchen is often where I cut corners. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get a good meal on the table! (more…)

Guest Blogger: Hope of  A Busy Mom’s Slow Cooker Adventures

With technology being in the forefront these days, are things like cooking, cleaning, sewing, carpentry, etc. a dying art? Do we really want our children going off to college without knowing how to do their own laundry or how to clean their own bathroom?  If we start teaching them these things young, these worries will be a thing of the past.

Enjoying Your Kids When They’re Young

Guest Blogger: Stacie of Simply Stacie

I remember the day Bridget was born like it was yesterday. It’s actually been over 8 years now and it amazes me still how quickly time passes and how fast she is growing up. She’s grown into a very sweet little girl with a ready smile and active mind always asking questions. I cherish every moment I have with her because I know how fleeting time is. (more…)

What Happened to Kids Being Kids?

Guest Blogger: Jennifer of Makobi Scribe

On a visit home to my in-laws last weekend I was having a conversation with my 14 year old sister-in-law. She walked in the house from a long day of school and indoor soccer practice with a backpack stuffed to the brim. Jokingly I asked if her bag was full of bricks and she rattled off the countless books and homework assignments that filled it. (more…)

All Moms Are Working Moms

Posted October 13, 2012 / Kristie Sawicki

Guest Blogger: Kristie of Saving Dollars and Sense

Let’s face it: if you are a mom then you have a never ending list of jobs to do every day.

We are drivers, managers, doctors, psychologists, chefs, gardeners, housekeepers, tutors, and more. The list of mom jobs can seem daunting at times, but there is no greater job than that of a mom and I’m sure none of us would trade it for the world. We have the awesome privilege of being the greatest influence on the next generation. That’s a pretty big deal if you ask me. (more…)

Passion for Growth

Guest Blogger: Tracy of Hollwood Mom Blog

I’ve worn several professional hats since my daughter’s birth 14 years ago. I owned a children’s’ clothing company during her toddler and early elementary years, which grew into writing for a blog which is now, Celebrity Moms & Babies on People.com. I parlayed my writing experience and product contacts into placement of children and baby goods in TV shows and films like The Hangover, Hangover 2, & Star Trek. And since 2009 when my daughter decided to pursue acting, I’ve focused my energies into Hollywood Mom Blog, a positive community and news outlet for the parents of professional child performers.
