It’s our job as parents to help our kids navigate this world – to show them right from wrong, to teach them how to be anti-racist, and to lead them towards love. My kids are young, but I have already started having age-appropriate conversations with them about race and racism. SheKnows spoke to parenting expert…

What I’m Watching, Listening To, And Working Out With
This past month has proven many things. One being that I can binge-watch a television series in a scary amount of time. I often think about what this pandemic would be like without pop-culture. Meaning, we’d have no movie or music streaming services, no social media, and no internet to entertain us. I know, I…

Quarantine Spring Cleaning
We can all agree that we have a lot of time on our hands right now. Maybe a little too much. Okay, a LOT much. And ironically, what is the main reason we always put off spring cleaning? — That we don’t have enough time. I know. Imagine a world where time at home is…
Trying To Explain What Is Going On For Kids Under 5
*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
Learning to ride a bike is a big moment in most kids’ lives. They will long remember the big moment they were able to take off on their own, without any training wheels or mom holding on to the bike, and fly down the sidewalk. Or, pedal down the sidewalk, if you will. If your…
Great Talk With Hilary Duff at BlogHer20
I was very honored to moderate Hilary Duff for the BlogHer20 event. We discussed all things Veeda, Happy Little Camper, and the struggle of mom guilt. It was great to know we all share the same struggles as women and we can learn from one another. I left feeling inspired, educated, and supported! Check out…

Preparing for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is very different after you have kids, but it can be a fun holiday with a little planning. It doesn’t have to be weeks of celebrating, but I do like to do a few fun things with my kids to make the time special. And I like to plan time with my husband,…
