Backing Off

By Elise | Published: September 19, 2011

The year was 1985.  New Coke was launched, Eddie Murphy hosted the 2nd Annual MTV Video Music Awards, and I went to see The Goonies on Friday night with my friends.  I was 11. I will never, ever, as long as I live, forget the look of horror on my parents’ faces when I returned [...]

Routine and Rhythm

By Elise | Published: September 18, 2011

I am positive it was written just for me – seriously.  I adore it!    It is like a how-to guide on adding stability and happiness to your children’s lives – while also helping parents dive deeper into their lives as parents.

By Elise | Published: September 16, 2011

When I had my first baby, I continued working outside the home.  There was no other choice.  We could not have survived on one salary – not to mention our health insurance was through my work.  I was lucky though.  She was born in November, so my maternity leave went right up through the holiday [...]

Making Room for Peace

Kids are supposed to act like that?

By Elise | Published: September 9, 2011

When my daughter was 3, I stumbled upon a book in my local library called Your Three-Year-Old by Louise Bates Ames.  This book changed my life. I had heard of the terrible-twos, but the terrible-threes?  I was at a loss for what to do with this child, and Louise Bates Ames, with her awesome 70s [...]

Turning Anger into Action

By Elise | Published: September 7, 2011

I spent about 2 hours last night on Facebook.  I was chatting with two friends about our anger at ourselves and the situation involving our old band director.  (Yes, I was a band geek.  I really, really hated Marching Band though.) At one point in our two hour marathon chat, my friend Adam asked me [...]

Peaceful Momma Moment

By Elise | Published: August 31, 2011

I have just returned home from a conference in beautiful, (not sunny – surprisingly,) San Diego, CA.  I missed the kiddos terribly of course, and it is so wonderful to be home.  We’ve been having a snuggle and love fest all day, and life is good. Until… I am in my office, working on some [...]
