    Park City Day 2 – meeting up with the Ladies Club

    ByEileen Ogintz December 7, 2011June 28, 2023

    Now the resort wants to make sure all moms—all women—make the most of their time here. To that end, they’re establishing Ladies Club—a two-hour session that starts at 10 a.m.—to give moms enough time to get their kids to ski school or older kids out the door.

    Four days with the SnowMamas in Park City, Utah

    ByEileen Ogintz December 6, 2011July 16, 2021

    Maybe buying ski boots isn’t that big a deal. But it says something about my desire to invest in myself instead of everyone else in the family for a change.

    On a unique mom’s getaway in Jamaica

    ByEileen Ogintz December 1, 2011July 7, 2021

    No I’m not dreaming of an effortless holiday gathering that could never be real — at least in my world. I’m actually wide awake in Jamaica, enjoying a pre-holiday moms’ getaway with my three oldest friends from grade school at the most unusual all-inclusive resort I’ve ever visited.

    Old holiday traditions give way to less drama this year

    ByEileen Ogintz November 27, 2011July 5, 2021

    There’s something to be said for creating a new holiday tradition with no drama, especially when new young friends are part of the equation. We were joined by 12-year-old Enesi Domi, who we got to know last summer when he spent some time at our home through the Fresh Air Fund.
