@Ignite_Miami and Facing My Fears →
jlpr:
The truth is, I hate speaking in public. I hate it. You would’t think I do being in such an outgoing industry. Most recently, I spoke at Social Media Week Miami in February and my stomach was in knots until I opened my big mouth. I’m a chatter box who enjoys putting others in the spotlight…
Mom of Toddler Put in Washing Machine Says She'll... →
Reposting from Yahoo! // This is crazy. I would be so upset.
Saskia David, the mother of Samier Bush, the toddler who was videotaped being put into a commercial washing machine, told the Today Show she would press charges against the babysitter who was responsible for him at the time. “I just want to tell Sandra,” David told Ann Curry, “This is not over because everybody said...

Raising a Super Food / Vegan Baby
My two-year old son is vegetarian since birth although most days his diet is vegan. He has very little dairy and never has had eggs except for those in the occasional cookie. He drinks almond or hemp milk usually (amino acids, protein, EFA’s) and we’ve opted for organic greek yogurt because of the probiotic benefits and is also nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin,...
15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy
Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer...

Redesigning my son's room... because I don't have...
I recently received a great hand me down gift from my mom’s friend. A beautiful lighthouse floor lamp that just made me melt. I loved it for my boy’s room. Except we had a different theme that wouldn’t match it all. (It’s ok, we can change out the theme because mama’s got so much time on her hands nowadays. Yeah right.)
I couldn’t help it, it was just gorgeous. Along with the lamp, we were...

Call to artists, families and activists! Let's...
In 2009, Hands on Miami (who we all dearly miss) organized Hands on Miami Day, the annual city-wide volunteer day with projects stretching all across the county from beach cleanup, beautifying gardens and painting murals like the project I was involved in with my then boyfriend and now husband. (At the time, a lot of our dates involved joint volunteer projects.) We both look back at the day and...

Mirror, mirror on the wall: Who’s the best mom of...
Sharing this article:
Last year, Tiger Mothers were superior. This year, French mommy-hood has been deemed a cut above. Are other mothers generally better than us at producing high-functioning and high-achieving kids? And do they enjoy parenting more than we do?
Maybe. Tiger mothers, soccer mothers, French mamas, working mothers, stay-at-home-mothers: We each have our strengths. We don’t have a...

Diving Head First Into Mom 2.0 Summit
When I dived in head first into Mom 2.0 Summit after an exhausting yet gratifying work week, I wasn’t too keen on how great the speakers would be, their influence or the enormity of this annual summit of awesomeness.
After seeing the summit web badge on Mommas Gone City only a few weeks ago, I realized Mom 2.0 was happening in my own backyard. I had to go. I sent a quick e-mail to my mom...

Going back to the Ritz for Mom 2.0 Summit
The first and last time I was at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, I was pregnant with my first and only baby.
Going back this weekend for Mom 2.0 Summit, I thought of him so often yet I really did take in the moments, the insights, realizing that I was going to leave the summit a better person and he was in good grandma/aunt/daddy hands.
I learned a lot, took time for myself to relax, to just be...
