Good moms do certain things for their kids. Bad moms don’t. Or, at least that’s what we’ve been programmed to believe. The sad part—moms have bought into mom guilt, society perpetuates this concept, and the culture of mom guilt sits securely in place. But, it doesn’t have to be like this–it’s time to ditch the
Over 70% of mothers with children under 18 are working mothers. So, it is the NORM for moms to return to the workforce. But, it’s pretty abnormal for moms to head off to work without feeling guilty about it. So, where does the working mom guilt come from? If it’s not coming from what we

An allergy kid’s birthday party is incredibly tricky for allergy moms because there’s no running out to Publix for a dreamy sheet cake. Oh, no. Allergy free cake is typically awful. So, every year–the pressure is on. You’ve got to come up with something that will avoid all your kid’s allergies AND still pass as
