A Gift of Poetry by Debbie Monteggia – Win Major Brownie Points with this Gift Idea

Arts, Culture, Mom Life
A friend who makes thoughtful considerations when sending something, planning dinners, making movie or book recommendations because they've known you for a long time. But what if a book or poem you just read throws you for a loop? You read it and wonder how does this author know me so well. That's exactly how I felt when I started reading "Tears of Change" by Debbie Monteggia last week. The book contains numerous poems, reflections, and quotes that make you think of how you'd like to lead life. Not only do the poems make you introspect your thoughts, but they also reunite you with the dreams you let get away from you. And just like that, Debbie's poetry beautifully translates your tangled emotions into simple words. Words that you can't…

Arts, Entertainment, Health, Mom Life
Steven Joseph’s CrankaTsuris Method is here to help. It is no secret that the pandemic has put a strain on most relationships in more ways than one. Steven Joseph writes A Grownup Guide to Effective Crankiness: The CrankaTsuris Method in a silly self-help style which will reassure you that your crankiness is not only natural, but also waiting to be healthily expressed. The stay-at-home orders, being stuck in close quarters with immediate family members, and general stress brought about by the pandemic certainly increased crankiness globally.

Joseph writes this guide at the perfect time with just the right amount of humor…

How to Convert a Room into a Full-Blown Baby Nursery

Having a dedicated nursery room in your home is what every new mom dreams of. It's not only very convenient, but it is a super fun project to dive into while pregnant and waiting for the little one's arrival. I was lucky enough to be able to turn one of our spare rooms into a full-blown nursery a couple of years ago and it was one of the most fun home projects I have done. I had a very supporting husband that was the handy man, but he gave me full control over the style and what I wanted. I mean, he knew I would get my way eventually, so I think he decided to just avoid any potential "disagreements." I am joking. He was very supportive and a major…
