My oldest daughter turned eight this year and one of her many transitions into “big kid life” has been to manage her own bath-time routine. One area she seemed to struggle with was temperature control. I can’t tell you how many times I had to drain the tub because she’d managed to fill it with icy-cold or [...]

If you live anywhere in the Midwest you’ll probably understand why I’m posting this today. At the moment, my house, car, grass, and pretty much everything else that’s exposed to the elements is coated in two inches of solid ice.

Hey everyone. I’m sorry I’ve neglected posting for so long. I’ve had to jump a lot of hurdles in the past four weeks. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say it involved three birthdays, Christmas (and all the craziness that comes with it), an upcoming article, and a trip across the country…oh, and did I [...]

I just wanted to let all of you know that I’ve been alerted to a small problem with the PayPal checkout process in the MeckMom store. Apparently it is charging $10 for large orders instead of the standard USPS Priority flat rate of $5. If you process your order and are charged the $10 shipping fee, please know that I will [...]
