Our Love Affair with the Butt-Kicking Black Widow

August 19, 2015 By Meredith 8 Comments

We all want our daughter to have powerful, strong female role models. Nothing against Barbie, but if you're looking for someone with a little more boss butt-kicking power, here's how to make it happen for your little girl. Balanced, realistic parenting perspective included.

Thanks to Target, what’s hotter right now on a parents’ radar than buzz about girls vs. boys vs. gender-neutral toys? Discount the promise of soon being able to sneak out for a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks after dropping the kids at school, and there’s not much.

How the Astronaut Wives Club Got It So Darn Right

July 27, 2015 By Meredith 16 Comments

I learned so much from reading and watching The Astronaut Wives Club! These ladies of the original Mercury 7 had a gift--a gift for recognizing what mattered on this earth and embracing it. So proud to learn from their example!

As I write this, I am currently up-to-date with my On Demand corners-of-child-rearing viewing of Astronaut Wives Club (I know, I KNOW. Mom victory!) and 3/4 of the way through the true-story book that inspired the show. I first ingratiated myself in astro-culture when my sister said, “You have to watch this show. Seriously.” She […]

Aren’t our fancy smartphones fabulous? It is entirely possible to capture almost every minute of your child’s life with one sleek device.
