I’m inspired to write this blog for a dear friend of mine. It’s a bit personal but is intended to provide hope to others enduring the same struggles. My daughter’s favorite movie, Charlotte’s Web, has a beautiful theme song – Ordinary Miracle. The song’s message holds a life mantra we all should practice: Life is [...]

Take Your Child to Work Day (or just show them off!)
It’s always exciting to hear the pitter patter of little feet throughout the Graco building. We had many little visitors during Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day last week. Employees got to bring their children to experience the magic that happens here at Graco every day! Sure, we think we’re engineering and designing breakthrough [...]
Happy Birthday to Me!
Reading posts about the “state of kid parties” like this and this have really resonated with me for a couple of reasons, including that I guess that I’m a bit of a traditionalist and growing up, my family’s traditions had a level of simplicity to them.

A Case of the Mondays
I’ve got a bad one. And I have them a lot- almost every Monday. It’s like a hangover from a super fun weekend with my kids. Melissa and I talk about this all the time- we sit right next to each other and every Monday we catch up on the weekend’s events (like her recent [...]

Well, last week at my cousin’s birthday party held at a family fun center, I felt the Supernanny hidden camera on me. I went to the birthday party by [...]

What are they thinking? Ask!
I absolutely love “interviewing” my son. No- I’m not getting him ready for corporate America already, I just love hearing what he thinks about stuff. All kinds of stuff. My husband rolls his eyes at me but I could do this for hours with Jagger. It’s one of the sweetest things about kids this age [...]
Guest Celebrity Blogger – New Mom and Actress, Jodie Sweetin
April 12, 2008 – Jodie Sweetin delivers baby girl Zoie, 8lbs, 7oz. I had the pleasure of meeting Jodie Sweetin at the Boom Boom Room in LA this past January. It was pretty cool to have the chance to talk to someone that I grew up watching on TV. Yes, I was a huge fan [...]
First Time Mom – All Over Again
And here’s Amy… (still on maternity leave!!) When thinking of everything I’d do as an “Experienced Mom,” there were definitely a few things that I planned on improving the second time around – especially in the early months.
