Why I’m Letting My Kids Choose Their Own Religion

8 years ago
Spirituality and religion can be both the hardest and easiest things for people. Some are raised in a religion they know they belong to, some branch out to try something new that speaks to them, and others can feel a bit lost, like there isn't anything real to cling to. Because of this, raising children can be tough in certain households, especially when two religions conflict. Do you teach your children one and not the other? A little of both? Practice something new as a family? These can be hard questions to answer. While many couples continue to practice the religion or religions they were raised with with their own kids, my husband and I decided to be much more flexible. We were both brought up in semi-secular, semi-Protestant, semi-Jewish households and have experienced a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions. We feel blessed (yes, we use words like "blessed") to have been given such open minds when it comes to our belief system, and we hope to give that to our ..

10 of the Best Pacifiers For Breastfeeding Babies 10 of the Best Pacifiers For Breastfeeding Babies Pacifiers are one of the most helpful things a new mom can use during those first few months after a baby's arrival. Not only do they serve as a great instrument to quiet down a fussy baby, but they also teach your baby to self-soothe through their natural sucking reflex. But what if you're breastfeeding? The good news is that your child can adapt to using both a pacifier and being breastfed, but you need to watch out for a few things.

It's also important to look for brands that use the word "orthodontic," because they're specifically designed to help eliminate any teeth-formation issues that are generally linked to long-term pacifier use. In no particular order, check out the 10 best pacif..

Life, Men, and Love: 26 Pieces of Advice From My Dad That All Women Should Hear

8 years ago
Some of the best advice I've ever received has been from my dad, but I didn't quite realize that until I got older. My "all-knowing" father spits out life lessons every other sentence, so I usually respond with an eye roll. But as I began to come across experiences in my life where his words were applicable, maybe this self-proclaimed Yoda is onto something after all, I thought. Ironically, I learned most about being a woman from him. Here are few of my life lessons for you to internalize re: men and life, straight from the man himself. No man will ever be able to fill your cup every day. It's impossible and draining. Most men will fill the cup in short terms to be able to conquer. You must fill your own cup. You must love yourself when you're looking in the mirror. Don't ever allow a man to shape who you are. Don't ever lower your standards for a man. Be patient. Women have the same feelings as men. If you want it, go get it, but do it under yo..
