Gillian Anderson Spooked Her Boys With An Episode Of The X-Files

January 19, 2016 by Caroline Hoult Leave a Comment

Gillian Anderson, actress, The X-Files, mother, parent

I’d imagine one of the advantages to being an actress is having an endless list of movies or television shows that you once starred in, to eventually show your kids. Can you imagine? And here's mommy as a princess and here's mommy flying a plane. Oh and here's mommy taking down a multi-national drug … [Read more...]

Ten Things Every Mom Should Do For Themselves In 2016

January 12, 2016 by Tanya Cruz Leave a Comment

woman, happy mom, happy woman

New Year, new start. If there's any new year's resolution you should be making this year, it should be to be more selfish. Sounds backwards, right? Well, think about it. As a mother you put everyone, especially your kids, ahead of yourself—it's basically embedded in your DNA. But sometimes, that … [Read more...]

The Things We Moms Do For Love

October 14, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

I am a very small person, which is handy, because tonight I might be sleeping on the couch. Why? Because of the things we do for love. I didn't fully appreciate what that looked like until I became a mom myself. Looking back on my childhood, I can see clearly all the things my mom did for love. I … [Read more...]

Things I Took For Granted Pre-Kid

July 29, 2015 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

There are some things that only truly become magical when you become a parent. It's hard to explain how the presence of a small human can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, but I will do my best.  I definitely underrated these four things before I became a parent: Pockets With the … [Read more...]

Call Me Maybe—Mommy’s Air Conditioner Missed Connection

July 2, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

Dear random dude at the hardware store: Sorry you thought I might kiss you, but in my defence, you did tell me where I could find a cheaper, more effective air conditioner. Call me maybe?  98 Degrees was a pretty good boy band back in the day. 87 degrees, though, that's a terrible room … [Read more...]

That’s Not My Name

June 24, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

I can relate to that little ditty by the Ting Tings "That's not my name". Since I've become a mom, I don't know who the heck I am. Not just in a morning coffee, my Starbucks cup rarely reflects my true identity kind of way. It's a form of suburban witness protection, I guess. I get extra L's, Y's, … [Read more...]

Can Being A Single Mom Be Harmful To Your Health?

May 22, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I don’t usually get to watch the news (my kids usually flip to Disney Junior!), but last week, a segment on the Today Show caught my attention. Research published recently in The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found that single moms were more likely to develop health problems later in … [Read more...]

The Importance Of Reading, Writing And Arithmetics

April 22, 2015 by Alison Tedford 11 Comments

While I am a fan of the arts and sports, I believe in the basics and have tried to instill a love of them into my son. Reading, writing and arithmetic are things I live for in a geeky way and I wanted to share that weird love with him. He has been somewhat reluctant—until recently that … [Read more...]

Complimentary Kindness: Why My Kid Is A Thank You Machine

April 15, 2015 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

Motherhood can feel like a thankless job. You incubate this thing and it makes your belly giant, gives you heartburn and makes you barf all over the place. If you are really lucky, you get to spend ten whole months barfing, silently cursing the bill of goods you were sold on the whole nine months … [Read more...]
