How Moms Can Find Time for Themselves
Motherhood is a rewarding thing. You can have a sense of fulfillment and experience feelings of joy as you take an active role in raising your children to be loving, responsible, and honest individuals.

Health psychologist Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D., says that moms should have at least 15 to 20 minutes of “me” each day to decompress, then about once a week you need a longer block of time to get out and do something for yourself. … continue reading.

Who Is The ‘Brand’ New MommyTM
She is every hue of the rainbow and represents the quintessential woman, age ranging from 30-50, and learning each day to find balance as she ‘re-define’ mommy-hood on her terms and ‘re-new’ her career goals (or launch a new passion).
The ‘Brand’ New Mommy is complex, smart, beautiful, and multi-talented, and, appreciates the simplicity of life (and a splice of the fabulous vida).
The ‘Brand’ New Mommy was once on top of her game pre-babies – now the industry has changed, she has taken time off to raise her children, and learn social media — the new “it” girl. TBNM is coming back stronger, smarter and sensible.

Hit or Ms.: Do We Really Need to Have Respect for Adults?
Good Morning!
Here is a post I penned for Madamenoire.com on manners/respect and the comments have been off the chain. Let me know your thoughts and have a great weekend.
Just like Janet Jackson, please call me Ms. Karen or Mrs. Taylor-Bass, but certainly not Karen. We don’t roll like that if you are a child and under 25.
Is there something in the water or have children become too familiar with grown folks–thinking it’s okay to call us by the first name? Stop the madness; can a momma get a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T?
Respect is the notion of understanding that a high or special regard should be deferred to someone older. There are times when I feel that some kids are simply BeBe Kids dressed in nice gear with no manners.
