The name of my blog, supermama, is meant to be a joke. It's tongue-in-cheek. Because I know that it is actually completely impossible to DO IT ALL when you're a parent, and it's definitely impossible to do it all WELL.This last week or two, my business has been even busier ...
Joy is painfully shy - and first days are always the hardest. Aren't they for all of us? Day camp started this week, and I thought I did an OK job of preparation. We had a new "cool" bag, a new swimsuit, a new towel. Her name was written in ...
How do you talk to your kids about tough topics like homelessness and charity?We often pass people in our car who are holding cardboard signs, asking for change or jobs or food. For several years now, Joy has asked about this - and I honestly am at a bit of ...
