Be Positive Mom

By Stephanie Lema

Depending on the ages of your little ones, the words "family" and "vacation" seem more like an oxymoron... you know, opposites? We just took our first family vacation since having our little boo two years ago. We've gone on day trips, overnights and treks up ... Read more...
Do you remember as a kid selling cookies for the Girl Scouts or Christmas ornaments for a school fundraiser? I did those things, except I sold cookies as a Brownie and miles for the walk-a-thon. I sold gift baskets for the neighbor across the street when she ... Read more...
I'm using the word "reason" instead of "excuse" in this one... however, they seem one in the same. Don't ya think? I am in the midst of pursuing new things in my life. While I want to share every little tid-bit with you, I will for the time being share with y ... Read more...
Do you remember Leave It To Beaver? I realize I am completely dating myself! Those episodes of a boy who trots off to school while his mom stays home making dinner and after school snacks for her boys. Dad goes to work a 9 to 5 job and the issue presented dur ... Read more...
