Our society is finally accepting differences.  Maybe accepting is the wrong word to use.  “Addressing?”  That may fit better. Our society is finally addressing differences, or lack thereof, among genders.  It has been the headline for over a year now, ‘Trans-Gender’ and ‘Gender Neutral Children’ those identifying more with the opposite gender than they were born, or unsure of which gender they tr

In 2013, The United States was declared the costliest country to give birth in, with prices more than tripling from 1996. That was three years ago.  Who can guess what has happened since then? That’s right, even higher birth costs.

As you have read, I just completed 3000 miles with my 4 young children in tow.  I had planned to spend 23 days and cover 2300 miles, but plans changed when I added in an epic surprise at the end of the trip!  We added 2 extra days and a few extra miles that were well worth it!

Marijuana, pot, cannabis, weed, or the 50 street names it is known by, is currently in the spotlight. A growing number of states have legalized marijuana, with more to soon follow, for medicinal or recreational purposes, and its use by pregnant women will increase as a result.

I am Single Mom Driving, and I am currently in bed, surrounded by sleeping children.  We are in a hotel - our last hotel of this crazy journey.

Packing for a road trip with kids is complicated. Take notes and learn from my 2,300 mile roadtrip!

#SingleMomDriving I have lost my mind. Roughly 1,150 miles down the east coast and 1,150 back will add up to who knows how many realistic miles... I can't even think about the "Are We There YET?" comments. Don't you worry, there is a case of wine packed in the trunk.

As I left the pool today – with a cover-up over my bikini, all 4 kids (ages 6 years down to 4 months) in tow, I received a message to write about THIS. At first I didn’t understand. How can anyone possibly shame a new mom? It happened – and probably happens more than we know. 

My friends and I span all walks of the education spectrum.  While I am homeschooling my tribe through co-ops and at home, some of my nearest and dearest send their little ones to public, private, motessori, and waldorf schools. Some even -gasp- unschool their children.  A few of us were chatting about our almost 3 year olds and the outrageous expectations placed on them in our current education sy
