Empowering and encouraging young mothers from the moment they see their own two lines...
The incredibly cool Michelle Horton of Early Mama is now an official writer with Parenting.com, where she recently posted how 20-something unwed mothers are the “new teen moms.” CNN ended up picking up her piece and oh my gosh, the comments! As predicted, they ranged from everything to how unwed mothers expect everyone to take [...]
When I imagined becoming an author, I definitely had a much more glamorous idea of it in my mind. I certainly didn’t imagine that I would be rushing to finish my book on the morning it was due, in my nasty old nursing nightgown with the broken strap, with my hair in a bun that [...]
Today’s guest post comes to us from a mom who discovered that she was pregnant while visiting and working in Germany. I’ve been following Kayla’s blog, Kayla Expects Chaos, since she announced her pregnancy and I have loved watching her journey from pregnant and alone in a different country to a proud, young mom.

A few days ago, when it was actually warm outside (unlike the blizzardy snowfall that is currently happening outside my window right now, bleeechh), the hubs and I took a long walk with the kiddos. Almost right away, as I am apt to do, apparently, I started complaining. “You know, I’m already dreading the summer [...]
I love finding fellow young bloggers and I was so excited to connect with Sarah. She just launched her own blog at The Mom Life, where she’s sharing her life story as a former teen mom turned banker, vegetarian, and runner. Be sure to visit her at The Mom Life! Tell us about yourself: My [...]
It was the end of a long day and I was losing my patience. Herding all three kids into the bath, I longed for the day just to be over, whining and crying ceased, small bodies tucked safely and soundly into their beds–where they couldn’t bother me. My sighs became impatient, my words harsh and [...]
So pleased to feature Hannah Wingert of Annalie’s Baby Boutique today. Hannah is in my same boat–27 with 3 little ones, so I definitely relate to her. Unlike me, however, Hannah is incredibly crafty and runs her own online children’s boutique. You just have to read Hannah’s experience with how people treat her as a young [...]
So I’m not sure if there’s anything better than your own personal hair stylist coming to your house on a Saturday afternoon to not only cut and highlight your hair, your husband’s hair, and both of your daughter’s hair (you can not bring yourself to cut your baby boy’s adorable locks just yet). Unless, of [...]
Well, I got lucky this week again. I was feeling lazy and asked Ben to come up with a meal plan for the week. And he totally did! Score one for me! Monday: roast chicken with spinach salad and green beans Tuesday: easy chicken tortilla soup with leftover chicken and homemade chicken stock (I’ll be doing [...]
This Thursday, I am giving a speech for a local fundraising dinner. It is not my first speech. I’ve given lots of speeches like this one, in fact. In Wisconsin. New York. Boston. Even on Capitol Hill. Different topics, different approaches, and vastly different audiences. And do you want to know the thing that all [...]
