Some midlife mothers find themselves to be the butt of ageist remarks and preconceptions, while others don’t. Why? Could the answer be only skin deep? Check this out: We live in a [...]
Watching re-runs of the TV series Medium, little did I realize I was tuning into my past life in a new way. Like diving through an unexpected wormhole, I was back in the early 70’s with The Rolling Stones, President Jimmy Carter, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his wayward wife, Margaret.

It was American Idol judge Randy Jackson who said “The world cannot live by pop stars alone.” That’s because every now and then, they need someone original.

Forty-one year old Illustrator, Leanne Salandro—who is currently expecting her first baby—met her husband five years before they went on their first date. (See links below for info on Mother’s Day campaign and gift shirts.) The couple—who had been ‘nudged together’ by mutual friends years earlier—finally went out on April Fool’s Day 2006 and were [...]
In 2006, after divorcing her third husband—who would turn “white as a ghost” every time she mentioned having a baby—Rhadiante Van de Voorde continued to suffer for years with inner turmoil over whether she should have a child. (See links below for info on Mother’s Day campaign and gift shirts.) Yet, the 43-year-old Registered Landscape [...]
If there’s one thing more striking than Kristen Marinovic’s silver hair, it’s her no-nonsense approach to being a mother to 20-month-old twins, Viggo and Niko. (See links below for info on Mother’s Day campaign and gift shirts.)
