I remember when I was pregnant with my very first baby in 1996 and on Mother’s Day that year, it dawned on me that I was going to be a mom later than year. I was excited, scared, and nervous at the same time. If you are a mom, I am sure that you can relate to all of those feelings. It is scary to think that you will be responsible for a tiny human being and that you have…

Yesterday when I went to pick up my son from daycare, he was playing and having a great time.  The teacher was letting all of the kids in his classroom play with puzzles and my son was trying very hard to get the puzzle pieces into the right spot.  It was fun to watch him play and learn a new skill.  I…

I wanted to make my Sister-in-Law a diaper cake for her baby shower.  I didn’t want to make a traditional diaper cake.  I got an idea that I saw on Pinterest and decided to try and make her a diaper cake motorcycle.  Since she is having a little boy, I thought it would be perfect.  I took my daughter with me to the…

Babies will never judge their parents for the amount of stuff that they had when they were little or didn’t have when they were babies.  In fact, most babies only need a few basic necessities in order to be adequately cared for and they don’t need a bunch of fancy things.  A baby will use most of their baby gear for a short period of time and they quickly grow out of it.  If you are expecting and have a limited budget, I would recommend that parents buy or register for the following…

A huge sigh of relief washes over me...and as soon as I feel the pressure release in my shoulders, something rushes over me. I'm thrust from the couch, as though I was just launched from a human rocket, and sprint to the bathroom.

I text Jason the next day, and I don't receive a reply. I feel like I'm in déjà…

I never ever do. Only time I remember is when I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee and the shakes are kicking in. By then I'm not feeling well and it's pointless because it's…

Using a to do list is a simple yet powerful way of staying organized, productive and stress free at work and even at home. 

When all you do is think about the numerous tasks you need to do, they usually feel much more complex than they usually are and this may stress you out.

Other times you may…

When venturing out with kids it’s important to know where you’re going and what you’re likely to do. But in New York City the more important questions, really, is where are you going to eat and what are you going to have?

Here are 5 kid-friendly destinations in New York City that my three kids (ages 6, 3 and 1) love, along with their favorite spots to grab a nosh…

Parents have you ever received a call from mall security or the police department letting you know that they just caught your teenager stealing?  If so, you aren’t alone and you aren’t the first parent who has had to deal with this type of behavior.  It is important that you handle the situation in a calm and…

Parents it is very important that you have a continuous relationship with their child as they are growing up so that when your child becomes a teenager, you will know them well enough to determine when they aren’t telling you the truth.  Kids will tell you a story if they think that they can get away with it.…

Just a quick back ground, but Climb Into Power was created from the culmination of many things.

Over the past few years, as you may already know from previous posts, I left my career to become a stay at home mom and to take the time to learn to live with my Autoimmune disease. At the same time…

A Country Girl Knows How To Get Stuck

Growing up country, :) we know how to get stuck. We did it a lot, especially when the winter months would come and it would never stop raining.

We still had to go and get fish out of the ponds whether it was muddy or not. The pond dams would be slick as glass and sometimes it was fun and other times it wasn't.

I remember one night my dad and I had to go and check the oxygen in the ponds, it had rained for…
