Musings From My Minivan
One of the hardest tasks I have every day is feeding my children afterschool. It is a monumental task because my children are absolutely ravenous when school lets out. If I don’t get them fed immediately they start gnawing on each other, and that can make a mother want to pull her hair out by the roots. [Read more...]
I have been blogging now for several years. In the beginning I blogged to help promote my concerts, and to share my insights about my life as a mother and artist. Since that first post my brand has grown and so has my coverage. Now a full blown Marketainer I blog about everything from tech to parenting, to social causes and cars! It is a very rewarding development. But I am not one to stand still. [Read more...]
I’m headed to class Wednesday. Oprah’s Lifeclass that is. I will be live tweeting from Harpo studios during the 7pm CST broadcast, as well as the web chat immediately therefafter. [Read more...]
I am so impressed with my daughter’s music these days. It so amazing to me how much she has blossomed since the beginning of the Summer. Her lyrics are more sophisticated, her guitar chords are more fluent, and her spunk is…well…much more spunkier. I was trying to figure out what was at the center of this development.

Do you like treasure hunts? Do you like new cars? Well then you will love the Dodge Journey search happening all across America this month.

The Journey they left on the West Coast has already been found, and people are hot on the trail of the Journey here in the Midwest. I don’t blame anyone for working hard to find the Dodge Journey in the #Journey Search. I got to drive one earlier this Summer and I can tell you it is definitely a treasure worth searching for.

Sports Nutrition is something that is on my mind a lot. With three young athletes in the house I pack a lot of snack bags. I try my best to impress upon my children the need to nourish and hydrate their bodies during their games, but they don’t always listen and I end up feeling unclear about how to proceed. That was yesterday this is now. because now I am no longer just a mom going to sports events, I am an official Gatorade SPORTS MOM empowered with knowledge and science that I am going to use to fortify my kids and help them be the best athletes-students-people they can possibly what.

As a working mom of three school age kids with complicated schedules of their own, I often feel as though I have lost my marbles. Like when I call my kids the dog’s name or search for my cellphone that I am holding to my ear. [Read more...]

Did you know that here in Illinois about 85% of people don’t get the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day. Eighty Five Percent!!! That’s criminal. For the last four years I have been working hard to change that with my WTTW PBS Kids Great Food Fan Van Summer tours. [Read more...]
