On The Road – A Family Road Trip Survival Guide
Fourteen hours, two young children, and two parents packed into one car. This obviously calls for a survival guide. Every summer since I can remember, I have taken a road trip from the Twin Cities to Red Lodge, Montana. I did it as a child with my parents and siblings, with friends as a young adult, and now with my own little family. And every year I am shocked at how long the car trip is. It reminds me a little bit of labor and delivery - forgetting the pain because the outcome is well worth … [Read more...]

So today Natalie is here sharing how to eat healthy while moving. Even if you're not moving, this stuff comes in handy when out on the road vacationing too, so take … [Read more...]
Tools for the Modern Mama (Plus a Giveaway)
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a conference put on by Disney especially for "Mom-preneurs" (a term I wasn't even familiar with, let along associated with myself, until then).

So I'm planning on highlighting some of my favorites in this little space of mine, to give you all a look at the awesome stuff moms out there … [Read more...]

How to Raise a Health Nut
Eating healthy is kind of the talk of the town these days. But what about when it comes to the kids? Are they eager to dive into a raw kale salad? Do you hear your little ones declaring, “Hey! You know what, I think we should ease up on the sugar.” Yeah, I didn’t think so. Kids are kids. They are amazing and fun and witty and moody and uncensored and picky and above all, they like what they like. You want your kids to eat the meals they need to grow and to thrive and to be healthy … [Read more...]

If you're a regular here, then I'm sure you've noticed the happiness revolution that has been slowly taking over MPMK. From our new Happy Family Habits series to our recent virtual book club selection, the science of happiness is quite ubiquitous around here. I'm not sure exactly where or when it became so prevalent, but I do know why. A few months ago, the day after announcing MPMK's new Continuing Ed feature, I was contacted by a representative of Dr. Christine Carter of UC Berkley's Greater … [Read more...]
