Ipods, smart phones, Facebook, digital video, the Internet. Mind you, when I was a child, we didn’t even have cordless phones until high school. Up until about 20 years ago, nobody would ever call someone and immediately ask, “Where are you?” Um…I’m standing in my kitchen talking on the phone that’s attached to the wall…. […]
Why I will NOT be watching Hunger Games
For the past several days, all I have seen across the entertainment news is the huge promotion and hype around the premiere of The Hunger Games. I have not seen it (nor will I), however, I know enough about it to know I don’t want to give my time, and my dollars, to the makers […]
Fox 5 San Diego TV segment – #1 first baby food myth
I had a blast at Fox 5 San Diego this morning with Shally Zomorodi! We talked about what I consider the #1 myth about about baby food. “What is the best first solid food for babies?” 9 out of 10 people would answer, “White rice cereal of course.” I remember when I was eleven years […]
If my daughter had a different mom, she would probably be on drugs
No, not the illegal kind. The FDA approved kind. Why do I make such a bold statement? Let me share a story….. Monday, my husband picked my daughter up at school. She had spent the weekend with her father (my ex) and I hadn’t seen her since Friday morning. I went to greet her. She […]
Is organic worth it?
“I know eating organic is better, and what I would ideally do. But the store that is most convenient to me does not carry organic foods. I am too busy to drive out of the way to an organic store, plus, it’s a lot more expensive. Is it really that much better? Is it worth […]
Huh? My daughter telling ME about her birth?
We’ve all heard some incredible stories that children share when they are little. Imagination? Or something else? A sweet, wonderful book called Before I Got Here: The Wondrous Things We Hear When We Listen to the Souls of Our Childrenby Blair Underwood (yes, the actor) might have you take pause if you’ve never thought about […]
The magic of intention: Part 2
Just got back from meeting the wonderful, soulful people who found our family’s most sentimental possession the other day. Here is the continuation of the serendipitous story……(see prior blog post for part 1) I wanted to share the link to their site in case you are interested in checking them out. Beautiful music […]
Do you make your child say “I am sorry” even if they are not?
We have all done it. Our child does something socially unacceptable, with witnesses, and we need to step in and be a parent. And teach them how to recover from their blunders. We see the indiscretion happen, we immediately intervene. We tell our child, “That is not OK. Tell your friend that you are sorry.” […]
A conscious parenting lesson….from a cat
I want to publicly thank someone for impacting my life, and my family’s life, in such a positive way. Thank you, Jackson Galaxy, for doing your life’s work. I am forever grateful for you. (this is a long post, but I promise, I do tie this into a lesson in the end) This is my […]
Conscious Parenting idea: Do your part
A fundamental aspect of conscious parenting is realizing that your actions have repercussions beyond your own family. What you do impacts others, whether you do it consciously, or unconsciously.
