Poor Mom’s Sangria

Jun. 08 Cocktails And Dreams, Featured, For Moms, Splurges no comments

I don’t know about you, but there are those days when this Momma needs her evening cocktail. As a stay at home mom, 6:oo PM, a.k.a “Daddy time” can’t come quick enough, that is when I take my ten minute much needed break, which sometimes includes a cocktail. As a nursing mom, I can only have beer or wine and its a one drink maximum rule for me. Just beer and wine can get very boring. When I want a “cocktail” I go for my “poor mom’s sangria.” Its “poor”  because it requires cheap red wine. We family gals gotta pinch pennys and for this recipe cheap is just fine. This tastes just like the real deal and if you add fruit you can get by calling it healthy. Here’s your new favorite drink recipe: Read more →

The Best when it comes to the Breast

Jun. 07 For Moms, Health, Parenting no comments

As a breastfeeding Momma, I have come to a point now, at 16 weeks, where I am confident, sure and have the routine down pat. However it wasn’t always like this. There can be some challenges when it comes to breast feeding. From the little questions like; Is my baby getting enough? How can I tell if I’m I producing the nutrients he needs?, How long do I do nurse for? Then there are the big questions, the legal questions (Under Federal Law women are permitted to nurse their baby anywhere) societal questions: Lets face it, everyone does not respect this issue or understand it completely and then there is Time Magazine misrepresenting breast feeding with a controversial picture on the cover. The important information I offer here is that there is an enriching and wonderful resource for all your questions and concerns – La Leche League International . LLLI is compiled of local moms, moms who have been there, or are there right now, along side you. Read more →

Pregnant women are trying to be healthier.  Many take all the right steps to promote the birth of a healthy baby, including eating right, taking vitamins and eliminating alcohol and nicotine from their lives.

Unfortunately, all those efforts may be for naught if they are still being exposed to unseen chemicals in their daily lives.

Are We Too Prudish For Our Own Good?

The Difference Between Sensuality and Sexuality
Contributed By: Tiberio Simone

Being an American citizen, I enjoy the freedom of expression enjoyed by artists in this country. However, I wonder sometimes if we grasp some of the ironies of how we express that freedom.

I am from Italy, which is known as one of the most romantic countries in Europe, a destination for lovers who come to visit from all over the world. So, perhaps I have a slightly different perspective on how Americans express themselves, particularly with regard to romance and sensuality. In Italy, we embrace these concepts in everything we do – the way we dress, the way we cook, the way we dine, and the way we live. Read more →
