Final catch up blog for this round of on-air segments. Happy reading! As you can imagine, over the course of thirty years there are very few relationship issues that Yannick and I haven’t come up against in our marriage. Some...

As a parent I always found it so difficult having to say “no” to my girls. But I knew if I didn’t I would ruin them. I mean look around, we’re knee deep in a society created by a lot...

Hello. It is me and I am back…between the packing, the travel, the packing and then traveling again, my follow up posts to my on-air segments have fallen to the bottom of the important things to do list. So, just...

I honestly feel as though I’ve talked this topic to death, but apparently not, since many of you have written in to PTL News asking about bedtime rituals. I hear all sorts of “getting my kid to sleep” horror stories,...

I truly feel like a broken record with my posts lately about relationships and parenting. It seems to me that I say, at least once in every single segment and blog, that communication, open and honest dialogue, are the keys...

If you’ve been reading me for any length of time you know exactly how I feel about social media. You’re also aware of my own personal struggles of being able to protect myself while having to be on social media...

There seems to be a lot of focus and discussion in the on-air segments about how to thrive in a relationship when giving your partner the space they need to enjoy the partnership. This is such a delicate dance, because...

Hello Friends! I honestly cannot tell you how many times I sat down to write these on-air accompanying articles since they went live weeks ago. Who knew how much work a closed marina was going to be? Certainly not this...

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, when having an intimate relationship it is so important to keep a part of yourself out of the relationship. Sounds weird, I know, but let me explain what I...

Alright, here we are again, the posts that accompany my on-air segments. Hard to believe it is October already, school has been in for a month, and we’re all in full swing of the season for doing too many things,...

Oh the joys of keeping the love alive in a relationship. In the beginning it is so easy, it happens naturally and organically, with little to no effort from one another. Just the thought of having somebody to go out...

Extra curricular activities can be expensive. I know this well because two of our three daughters picked two of the most expensive ones. Figure skating, and horseback riding. I tried with all my mom might to get them to fall...

I am late to the party, because, well purchasing a marina has added a few extra things to my “to do” list these past few days; and our youngest is visiting from LA this week as well. So let’s get...

Ahhhh, bullying. What an important topic, and an even more important conversation to have with your kids. Like, can we all just be honest with ourselves here, this is a safe place, where everything stays in the “cone of silence”....

Every kid is different, just like every adult is. You may not be a parent, but you, or somebody you love may suffer from anxiety, so go ahead and read this post, because who knows, something in here might help...

Let me begin this post that compliments and expands on the Prime Time Local segment that covered the subject of age appropriate clothing for kids with this disclaimer: We are not all going to agree, so in the case of...

Okay, so, anybody who has been following me for any amount of time knows that I’m not a natural cook. Meaning I don’t get excited at the thought of making meals for anybody, this includes myself, and my kids. I...

If you’re a parent who’s back in the thick of the back to school adjustment cycle, then I’d like to share these words of encouragement with you. In case for some unknown reason you’re still not following @milknheels, and getting...

Alright, I know that I’m not the only person who tends to deflect a compliment. Well, at least I USED to deflect compliments. Ever since reading Shonda Rhimes Year of Yes a few years back, I now consciously work much...

I’M BACK! Well sort of…not daily like I used to be but perhaps in a more meaningful way, one that will help more people in the long run. Now, on my blog, you’ll find articles that go in to more...

Food is, surprisingly a hot potato topic, but I’m going to address it here anyway; since it’s more than okay to agree to disagree on all things, food included. Especially when it comes to vegan, vegetarian, allergies, etc, etc, etc....
