Being a mom is awfully wonderful, isn’t it.  Pulling Curls is all about families simplifying family life.

Be sure and join my totally free practical parenting series:

We have tons of info on lots of different kinds of things, and even have a parenting podcast!

My parenting & family posts generally include, marriage, kids, babies, teenagers, family travel (including Disney tips) and family health tips!

Kids:  I have lots of posts on handling your parenting responsibilities, including on when you should spank.  Having taken kids to meetings a lot of my life, I have some good ideas on what to put in a quiet bag.  Don’t forget those old ones, I spend a LOT of time thinking about logical consequences for my teens!

Marriage:  I think it goes better when we realize that we all struggle in relationships where you have to be together all the time.  I even have a post on how to NOT kill your husband.

Family Health:  Tons of tips for keeping your family healthy and out of the doctor’s office.  FYI, we use a healthshare because traditional insurance just got out of our reach!

It is so easy get stuck into a rut, where you make choices that hurt your duties as a mom, wife, friend and as a HUMAN with your own needs. Here's a few I've found myself doing. Dumb things moms do. #pullingcurls
