AFM recently chatted with two coaches who want to change the stereotype! Wendy Woudenberg and Dante Hunter established Dynamic Basketball that brings a healthy perspective to the game through trainings...
Mom's Moment: Get Organized
I try to get organized every single day. It's a work in progress, as there are always scattered toys, unopened mail, lose paperwork, loads of dishes, and piles of laundry. As a WAHM (work at home mom), I really want to be that picturesque OCD perfectionist when it comes to keeping things fine and dandy, but in the organization department, I am failing.
That's why I'm making it an autumn goal to kinda sorta get things together. I'm on the hunt for a killer file cabinet with a deadbolt to prevent my toddler from rummaging through our...
Mom's Moment: End of Summer Style
Labor Day is drawing near and that means the unofficial end of summer is approaching. However, if you're an Arizonan, that is definitely not the case.
My sons and I have been indoors most of the summer, daydreaming of cooler temps. It's JUST TOO DANG HOT. Besides playing in the pool, we've had to entertain ourselves at the library, the mall, or venturing on vacation. ANYTHING to beat the heat.
With that being said, we are entering the most perfect time of year in AZ--less than hundred degree...
Mom's Moment: Car Seat Safety Reminders

Getting out of the house is a total scramble--it seems as if I'm 10 minutes behind no matter what; packing two children is like going on a mini vacation: I have to prepare bottles, bring food, spare clothes, toys, diapers, creams, blah blah blah. However, no matter how not-on-time I am, I never surrender taking TLC when buckling up my boys.
My babies are my everything. Their lives are in my hands, especially when I get behind the wheel. As parents, we endure the utmost responsibility to keep our children safe...
Mom's Moment: Please Don't Blacklist My Toddler
Dear fellow moms,
See this pic of my son? Swoon-worthy, right?! He is the sweetest most lovable little man in the world. My best friend. My soul mate (don't tell my husband). My first born. He has the face of an angel (totally biased); that is, until he morphs into a hair-pulling, pushing, downright defiant devil.
I admit: my toddler pulls hair. He pushes. Sometimes he'll pinch. And just yesterday he bit his baby brother (a love bite, I assume). With that being said, I swear he isn't mean spirited. He's not evil. In fact, I consider him rather passive and even...
