Well I just spent the last ten minutes learning that there is no Spanish word for blog.
I was going to get all fancy and name this post “blogging for chocolate” in Espanol, but that’s a little hard to do when you:

1) had about 15 minutes of Spanish class in 7th grade and
2) there’s no word […]

LaTara of Vegan Family Living talked about soul food on her show last week.
I grew up eating soul food like black eyed peas and collard greens, fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, squash casserole (one of my favorite foods in the world), fried okra, cornbread and dressing, pinto beans, with chow chow on the side….. mostly I got these […]

All this talk of chocolate reminded me about my raw chocolate candy recipe that Tiffany Washko asked for last week. These snacks are yummy for anyone, but if you or your child is sensitive to wheat, they’re flourless too!
Raw Chocolate Candy

1 cup almonds, chopped fine

Basically, this is what […]

WahmTalkRadio this week was really wonderful. I have never really thought about the implications of depression and postpartum depression for the work at home Mom, but Wendy Piersall did an awesome job of not only sharing her personal story, but giving other moms some advice if they find themselves in that situation.
When I listened to […]

Today on Moms Morning Show Chele, Wendy, Kelly and I discussed making money with a blog and promoting your blog.
When Kelly asked, “How do you make money with your blog?”
My answer was this: “The quick easy answer is, the same way you make money with any other site: selling your own products, selling someone else’s products […]

Moms Morning Show this morning was about taking care of momma. Aurelia, Kelly, Chele and Cara talked about taking the time and spending money on YOU.

When I grow up and my kids are teenagers, I hope I’m as cool as Aurelia Williams. Aurelia’s show is all about parenting teenagers. I listened to this week’s show and thought about the fantasy I’ve always had with my younger kids.
I imagine myself sitting in front of a coffee shop sipping latte with my […]

Not really.
Moms Morning Show today also reminded me about an awesome book I read and reviewed recently called What Happy People Know.
The science of happiness has always interested me. Why did some Holocaust survivors survive and go on to make something meaningful out of the experience, when others gave up emotionally and die prematurely […]
