With Mother’s Day on Sunday, I decided to spotlight a multi-taking, working mom this year who is also a long distance friend. Brooke Burke, Host of Dancing With The Stars and Co-CEO of ModernMom.com was an early supporter of my writing, my book and me. She has given me her unwaivering support, and therefore today I’m thrilled to give you our interview, as well as a great Mother’s Day giveaway! Brooke is rocking motherhood, marriage and a career, so let’s find out how she does it…
This morning, I spoke about our new global Movement for the first time on tv. As the Weekly Parenting Correspondent on Global TV, each week I tackle a new parenting topic. Today, I had the opportunity to speak about our newly launched global Get Off The Fence Movement. The exciting part in all of this, is that parents too have been taking the Get Off The Fence pledge – to cook healthier meals for their families, read more to their children, become more patient parents, etc… It’s been a gift to hear about all the different OFF THE FENCE pledges people have been taking since we launched. My most recent pledge is to try and power down by 9pm. I’ve been doing pretty well, actually.
It’s been a very sad weekend. One of my closest friends buried her 49 year old sister yesterday… three young children, a husband, and a shitload to live for. From what you may ask? Cancer, of course.
If you love your job, then you’re never really working, right? As much as we’d like to believe that, even the most rewarding of professions can start to be a drag when we’re pushing beyond 50, 60, or 70 hours each week.
Spring has sprung, and today I wanted to show you some great looks which will take you to the office, and then straight out to date night or girls night out… without…
Well my fellow parents, the FDA announced yesterday that “the morning after pill” will now be available to teenaged girls 15 and over without a prescription.
This weekend my husband and I celebrated EIGHTEEN YEARS TOGETHER. Eighteen years, OY! I had just turned 20 years old the day we shared our first kiss, April 27th, 1995.
So as an ode to my husband, and for my new readers who have never read it, here is our story…
Hello Girls!
Seeing that I missed Wordless Wednesday (our site was down), I would love to blog where I have been this week, in PICTURE.
It all started Sunday morning. I kissed my three men goodbye at 5am and headed to the airport. I was going to Seattle Grey Mercy West. No, I wasn’t. I’ve just always wanted to say that (I’m a big Grey’s Anatomy fan:. 😉
If you recall, as a Dove® Ambassador, I traveled with them on a Canyon Ranch, Arizona retreat last year. It was truly game changing. There I found myself, there I learned how to meditate (which I still do regularly), and there I learned how to truly care for myself.
Happy Earth Day Everyone! When I came across Women On The Fence Blog, I instantly became a loyal reader. I too, like most of you women, come here for a daily dose of hope and inspiration. So, when I reached out to Erica about possibly becoming a guest Blogger and then told her of my background, she excitedly asked me to write a special Blog post for Earth Day. As an environmentalist and big protector of the earth we live in, my goal is not to convert you to a full blown earthy in just one post. Rather, it’s to provide you with some facts, and get you MOVING in the right direction, perhaps as a more mindful and respectful person of our earth. So if today, you decide to unplug your coffee machine after you’re done brewing that cup, or recycle your cereal box, because something clicked in your brain, then I have done my job.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
