It's hard being a new mom (or even an experienced mom to a new baby) and sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't, despite what all the experts say. But this is a safe place to share your secrets—we won't tell.

This Week's Secret:

I've been on three trips in the last three months -- two for work and one to visit a friend -- and each time I've been gone, I left my son with his father without a worry in the world about it.

My husband rarely worries or stresses or obsesses over things like I do when it comes to parenting. He doesn't worry when Kyle is sick, and he doesn't worry about when he hits milestones, and he really doesn't worry when I leave town and he has to solo parent.

I've been in San Diego the last few days for a work trip, and while I'm not thrilled about stepping on the scale when I get back to Texas tomorrow, I've actually gathered some real wisdom about staying healthy and on goal while traveling away from home. (And it doesn't include eating salads every meal!)

I hope this list helps you when you travel next.

Here are some sample rooms throughout the house, each using this new trendy color combination -- in case you've been toying with the idea of incorporating it into your own home. (Like I have!)
