How to Have the Talk…about Disabilities
Parenting a child with a disability changes the way you view life. It can lead you to places you never thought you’d go. For me, it’s lead me to become an advocate for my child and other children with disabilities. A problem that I see far too often is the disconnect between children with disabilities […]
Duffels4Kids :: Our July Nonprofit of the Month
Memphis surpassed Salt Lake City this year to rank as the most generous metropolitan area in the United States, giving almost $6 of every $100 earned to philanthropy. With this in mind, the Memphis Moms Blog wants to feature a local Nonprofit every month. There are so many amazing organizations in our city dedicated to looking out […]
Wine and Weights :: How to Exercise after Baby
(because I’m drinking wine while talking about working out) I will admit I am lucky to have lost the baby weight without really trying…. if breastfeeding a chunk every 1 1/2 for the first 3 months, pumping every 3 hours for the next 9, and chasing after that milk monster counts as not trying! I […]
Day Trippin’ :: Little Rock
It should be noted that I lived in Little Rock for six years while my husband was in residency and fellowship. My first two children were born there, and I have a lot of very fond memories. It’s a great little city: clean, easy to navigate, PLUS there is so much fun stuff to do […]
10 Books to Read Before School Starts
I love to read, and summer time is my favorite time to curl up with a novel. With a slower work schedule and lots of pool days, I can knock out a good read in a day or two. I usually check out 2-3 books a week from our library. Our library offers a hold […]

Just Take the Compliment
On a recent trip to the Midwest to visit family, we took a slight detour to a state park to stretch our legs and explore a new place. Platte River State Park in southeast Nebraska has a sweet little waterfall a short hike from the parking area, which provided us the perfect diversion to break […]
Kids in the Kitchen :: Popsicles!
Who doesn’t love popsicles? They have, in a sense, replaced cupcakes and macarons as the trendy treat of the moment. They are available in endless varieties and are pleasing to all palates. And they can be made easily at home by you and your children! I have fond memories, as a child, of making […]
Living my Best Mom Life
As women, we have so many unrealistic expectations placed upon us. We should be able to do everything AND look amazingly gorgeous in the process. As mothers, we are supposed to juggle work, husband, kids, family, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, exercising, friends, and find a small moment for some “me-time.” Social media will lead you to […]
If Only I Had Known :: Slowing Down this Summer
I was having a conversation the other day with a friend of mine; we were discussing birth control, but that somehow led to how fast kids grow these days. Her baby girl just recently turned one and my baby boy (my only child) turned five. We were both discussing about how mom emo we were […]
