First Aid for Bruised Hearts - Talk to a mentor
“What’s love got to do with it?” Tina Turner famously asked. For many of us, love – the joy of it, the lack of it, or the confusion that comes with it – is both what gets us up in the morning and what keeps us up at night.
If you have a question about love, relationships, or marriage you’re... >Read More

A Healthy School Lunch
Whether you're sending it with your kids or relying on what they will receive at school, lunch is an important meal. It provides the energy for your child to continue learning through the afternoon, so what your kids eat (or, for those who are heading back to campus themselves, what YOU eat) should be nutritious, tasty, portable and FUN!

Bond with your Family: Eat Together

Balancing Work and Family
I slipped into his room late one evening as I arrived home from work so that I could give him a goodnight snuggle and a kiss, only to find him wide awake. "Hey Dad, it's Wednesday!" my 12-year-old said. "Tonight was our date night, Dad! You forgot!"
Somewhere between the deadlines and the meetings and the to-do list, I'd forgotten... >Read More

I Wasn't Ready to be a Grandma
Facing the unexpected? Don't do it alone, talk to a confidential email mentor.
It’s been several years now, but I can still clearly picture the day I found out my teenage daughter was pregnant. I remember her standing in the kitchen saying, “Mom, embrace it!” My initial response to Amber’s words were, “Yeah, right, that’s easy for...... >Read More

Sibling Rivalry
Dear Mr. Dad: When our now-18-month-old son was born, my husband and I thought he’d be a wonderful playmate for his big brother. Instead, our older child seems to hate his baby brother—the two of them yell at each other, snatch each other’s toys, and fight all the time. I’m actually afraid my older one might do some serious... >Read More
