Two New Posts On MommaHelpers
I love writing about parenting, though I don’t do it very often, but the results of my last burst of inspiration have just been published on MommaHelpers. The first is an article on parenting style, called What Kind Of Parent Are You? See if you recognize yourself.
The second is related to a popular movie and show, Mamma Mia, illustrating a parenting lesson that you can gain from watching the movie. It’s called a parenting lesson from Mamma Mia.

Momma Helpers Parenting Post
When I heard that Momma Helpers was looking for guest posts, I sat down and started to write. As the mother of a five year old, I have lots of thoughts on parenting, and don’t always get the chance to share them. I hope to do more guest posts on that blog one day, but for now I’ve started with a call to the moms: What have you done for YOU lately?
Parenting Diva Post
When Your Toddler Becomes A Child is my first guest post for Parenting Diva. It outlines some of the signs that tell you that your child is growing up.

Is Raising A Child Like Running A Business? is the first of my posts for OverheardDaily. It’s an article on parenting, and you can guess what it’s about. I highlight three ways in which raising a child is like running a business.
