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 He might become withdrawn even when you know he’s had a terrific time at a friend’s house.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. Before we know it, it’ll be time to head back to school! The end of summer/beginning of the school year […]
In the Potty Training Trenches
Potty training toddlers is not for the faint of heart. I’d rather go to the dentist every day for a month to get my teeth drilled, without Novacane, than attempt to potty train another toddler. There is nothing fun about dealing with human feces and urine 20+ times a day. Oh but think of the […]
Feeding Series: Working Full Time and Breastfeeding –The Challenge is Real
Choosing breast milk to feed a baby is such a personal decision. I knew even at a young age that when I became a mother, I wanted to breastfeed my children. What I also didn’t know was how challenging it would be to follow through with this decision and work full-time with very sensitive skin. […]
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, […]
Add Biofuels to Your Green Routine
This post is sponsored by American Ethanol. Reusable grocery bags: CHECK! Recycling bin: CHECK! Refillable water bottle: CHECK! Tank full of biofuel for family vacation: CHECK! We have three little ones growing up in a world with excess garbage and questionable air quality, and I think it’s everyone’s goal to leave our planet in better […]
Non Profit Feature :: La Leche League of Omaha
In 1956 in Illinois seven young mothers began the world’s first ever breastfeeding support and educational organization simply by creating friendships and meeting together for the sole purpose of providing information and practical support to one another. During the 1950s, breastfeeding was spoken about in hushed tones and usually took place only behind closed doors, […]
