In February of 2018, I became the owner of a disability parking placard. Why? I suffer from chronic pain: specifically from fibromyalgia. Yup, just like Lady Gaga! (I also have bipolar II disorder like Mariah Carey and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Celebs—they’re just like us, amirite?!). And aside from the pain, and the sensitivity, and mental fog, …
At the start of her life, it was our plan to have my first daughter sleeping in her own bed from six weeks onward. Yeah. But then she was born, and we started co-sleeping and that plan went down the drain. I transitioned my first daughter to her own room at 10 months but it …

Let’s see—what’s the best way I can start teaching my daughter to be self-conscious about her body at the earliest age possible? Oh! Use her favorite Disney classic tale to trick and shame her! *Collective eye roll* Enter Red Shoes and the 7 Dwarfs, a parody of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Body shaming …

Flo Rida My House Dad Parody featuring Mr. Gizmo Oh yes, it’s time for another dad parody. Since all the great artists drop their albums on Tuesdays, we thought it would only be fitting for Mr. Gizmo to drop his latest parody today. Yep, this is a parody of “My House” by Flo Rida like …
If you love pumpkin pie as much as I do, run to the store and get as many fresh pumpkins as you can and make this Maple Syrup Pumpkin Pie. Trust me, it’s worth it! This is not just any pumpkin pie, it’s a healthier twist on the much loved traditional dessert. It has that …
Last month, I took a press trip to the amazing, gourmet-inclusive, family-friendly Azul Beach Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Last week, we took you on a tour of the neighboring property, Sensatori, and this week we are giving you a room tour. I know that when families are trying to decide which destination to visit …
