A Happy Hour You Need, Mama
Being a mom in Omaha is great. We have a great group of mamas around us that give support to one another. There are always fun family activities going on around the metro, too, that you and your kids can enjoy together. But what about those times you just need a little mama’s night out? […]
Helping Your Introverted Child Make Friends
It can be quite confusing if your happy-go-lucky child suddenly begins behaving differently in public than at home. He might become withdrawn even when you know he’s had a terrific time at a friend’s house. She is reluctant to enter into a group of peers where before she had no qualms. Maybe, your child […]
Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month
You’re hitting all the back to school sales for school supplies, clothes, and shoes. You’ve booked your child’s doctor and dentist appointments. So, you’re all set to send them off for a successful year of school, right? Chances are, you forgot one last to-do on the checklist. August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month, […]
School Days Are Here Again
It’s hard to believe that the end of summer is almost here, but as they say–time flies when you’re having fun. We jam-packed our summer with baseball games, pool parties, and trips to the zoo.

Feeding Series: Working Full Time and Breastfeeding –The Challenge is Real

Feeding Series: Formula Feeding
Like all moms, I had fantasies of the kind I’d be when it was finally my turn to give birth. I wanted an epidural-assisted natural birth. I wanted to breastfeed until my first born was one. I knew I could do it. I witnessed many of my friends do this, and all of the Lamaze […]
Breastfeeding Wardrobe Must-Haves
I’ve always considered myself somewhat of a fashionista–I take pride in dressing for the occasion, whether that be a holiday, a wedding, a themed party, or just looking good for date nights. Well, my fashion sense has evolved since I’ve become a mama. I still try to look put together (okay, not always at home, […]
