PAJAMA MAMA: Planting seeds of virtue in your children

February 14, 2013 By Emilie Plants

Silence is golden — until you have children. Then, silence means trouble is lurking. As a stay-at-home mom, I always am looking for inexpensive activities to engage my children, and, of course, keep them from tearing the walls of our home down to the studs. A few weeks ago, I was scouring the aisles of […]

PAJAMA MAMA: You can keep your fork

January 17, 2013 By Emilie Plants

New Year’s resolutions tend to go in one year and out the other. Or at least for me they do. My never-ending resolution since having my two children is to return to my pre-baby size. I have done it once or twice in the last six years, but I always find my way back to […]

PAJAMA MAMA: Six going on 16

December 13, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants | Contributing Writer At exactly 5:53 p.m. Dec. 13, 2006, I witnessed a miracle — the birth of my daughter, Scarlett Joy Plants. I remember holding her for the first time, wrapped like a burrito, and gazing at the sweetest face I had ever seen. Little by little, I’ve been loosening my […]

November 21, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants | Contributing Writer There’s nothing more precious to me than seeing my children sing about God. Joyful Hearts Preschool has taught both of my children about Jesus and has given them the platform to sing His praises. On the last day before Thanksgiving, it was Cooper’s turn to perform as an American […]

PAJAMA MAMA: What is a mother’€™s work worth?

October 18, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants | Columnist When I left teaching to become a stay-at-home mother, I did it for one reason — to be with my babies. According to Salary.com, which asked thousands of mothers to complete a detailed survey about how they spend their days managing a household and raising their children, Pajama Mamas are […]

PAJAMA MAMA: The Pajama Mama Hall of Fame

September 13, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants | Columnist I come from a long line of Pajama Mamas. My mom was one. Her mom was one. Her mom’s mom was one. You get my drift. Since I took the reins and joined the “pajamahood” in 2006, I quickly learned that being a Pajama Mama is a 24-hour-per-day, seven-day-per-week job […]

PAJAMA MAMA: Movies and monkey booties

August 9, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants I realized one profound truth in the time between my children’s last day of preschool and their first day of summer break: Teachers are grossly underpaid. This past year was the first time my children had ever left my side in four years, except for the occasional trip to Nana’s. Scarlett was […]

PAJAMA MAMA: From model to motherhood

July 12, 2012 By Emilie Plants

By Emilie Plants | Contributing Writer I must confess: It is early afternoon, and I’m still wearing my pajamas. It wasn’t always this way. I was Emilie DuBois: model, beauty queen and Durant High School’s first Cover Girl.
