*Worried mom* How do I, if at all, explain this pandemic/quarantine to my children? My heart is breaking for them like never before. When my 4 year old repeatedly wonders and asks why she can’t go to school, or see her her neighborhood friends, I struggle finding the right words. I feel so powerless knowing…

I Like Dad’s House Better
“I like Dad’s house better,” I heard from the backseat of my car on our drive home from school. Um, what? I thought to myself as my heart broke just a tiny bit. Before I had time to respond, a second voice concurred. “Yeah, I like Daddy’s house better, too. When I sleep at your…
Songs To Sing While Washing Your Hands (Other Than Happy Birthday)
Proper hand washing is an important way to protect against germs. But you have to scrub with soap for 20 seconds for it to work. If you’ve started getting your kids (and yourself) to sing the Happy Birthday song two times while hand washing, to make sure you spend 20 seconds, I’m guessing you are…
How To Teach Your Kid To Ride A Bike

My Experience On Shark Tank With Dare-U-Go!
My experience going through the Shark Tank casting process was an exhausting experience that lasted 6 to 7 months before I even got in front of the Sharks – Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, and Robert Herjavec. That being said, it was well worth it, because it makes you prepare your brand…
Meeting The Supernanny
I recently met with the Supernanny, Jo Frost. It was a pleasure chatting with her and learning more about her life. Jo has been busy traveling the world, touring, and giving lectures based off the career she has built. Her show is very compelling to watch and talking to the Supernanny herself was a great…
