Taking care of my family, running a blog and running a business can really take a lot of effort and energy…sometimes leaving mommy tired and exhausted.

As a mom to 6 children, I can completely and totally attest that it definitely makes a difference when I don’t get a good night’s sleep. I’m tired, more irritable and find it difficult to complete all the daily tasks I need to do at an optimum level. Getting good sleep is not only necessary […]...

Growing up, I loved watching television and some of my favorite television shows were those that featured the “perfect” mother. I’m talking about “The Brady Bunch,” “Leave It To Beaver,” and “The Cosby Show.” You remember those, right? Then there were the television shows with the mothers...

I love to wear cute clothes and look fashionable, and especially love shopping for clothes online. I was recently invited to participate in a webinar with a site that has really cute clothes (and a discount – more information later) called J. Jill. At J.

I was a stay-at-home mom once upon a time. I would take my kids to the park, shoot the sh*t with the other moms, and pretend that my life was amazing and pretty close to perfect. Oh yes – I pretended to be a member of the perfect mom club. Well, now that I’m a […]...

I remember how excited I was for my first little boy to arrive. I had never been a mother before and had no idea what to expect when he came into our lives. Most new moms expect the sleepless nights, crying babies, and diminished sexual desire, but do they expect constipation? No way! “As a […]...

In 2008, I created The Mommy-Files. At the time, I was a stay-at-home mom and wanted an outlet where I could talk about motherhood, post pictures, share recipes, and make friends with other moms online. Although I had a Bachelor’s Degree, I chose to take the opportunity to be at home with my 3 boys […]...

As a mom of 3 boys, the day can really fly by quickly if there isn’t a schedule in place. Before I moved to California, I had somewhat of a schedule. I tried to be consistent with serving meals at the same time every day, giving snacks at the same time every day, and picking […]...
