My kids are getting to an age where they are able to reminisce their childhood adventures as we sit around the family dinner table and talk about “remember when…” It has become all to real as they are beginning to grow up, that they will be spreading their wings sooner than later. So on the rare occasion that I’m able to steal them away for a weekend getaway, I’m delighted when we come back from our adventures and I hear the kids talk about what memories we made, that will hopefully become co...

From TODAY Mom Marisa Langford: My story starts five years ago when my son Jake was diagnosed with a rare condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is a lifelong condition that requires daily medicine. He is super healthy and an amazing child. (Thankfully this condition is not neurological or mental. We are blessed he is so healthy.) After learning that our future children would have a 25 percent chance to have this same condition, we were not sure if we would venture into having m...

In the spirit of NOT trying to keeping up with amazing, fabulous (and unrealistic) Instagram feeds or movies like Judy Moody's Not So Bummer Summer I'm reminded that I just can't do everything. With four kids, dinner can be just as expensive as a week of camp for one kid. Not to mention driving all over this Earth to get the one child there.
My advice...SLOW DOWN. Seriously. Do you realize that at some point, your kids might not want to hang out with you. Or that they might soon prefer to han...

All I wanted for Mother's Day was a weekend with my family. I wanted to drop everything and just be for a weekend. No cell phone. No worries. Nothing to do but just reconnect.
