Jule Trunk Show

If you’ve not had a chance to visit Jule (9757 Clayton Rd, St Louis or www.juleonline.com) take a minute to check them out. Stop in or browse and shop their online store. I was invited to be a part of their trunk show a few weeks ago and had a great time with the staff and viewing the latest products.

Getting Ready for Work

With the turn in economy, many moms are finding themselves in positions where they need to prepare themselves to get back in the workforce. In a recent survey from Disney’s Family.com, women across the country have been struggling with how and what to do.  There are several tips available at www.family.com and I share my thoughts as well here in this interview.

Cooking Demo is Coming!

I did a webinar cooking demonstration with my friends over at Rice-A-Roni right before the holidays. It was so much fun! We talked about tips for stretching your food dollars, creative meal ideas and the success of our family – getting us all around the dinner table together! Here are a few pics of the crew and I. I’ve already posted some of my favorite recipes.

Book Sales in Brazil

I’m so excited to share my book and learned experiences with more moms around the world with the recent launch of my book, “Woman First, Family Always” in Brazil. The title and subtitle is (loosely translated) “Woman in First Place – Mother of 10 children teaches how to take care of the family, keep in shape and be happy in your marriage.”
