Video of the Week: This is the Stuff
One of my favorite new songs on the radio these days is Francesca Battistelli's "This is the Stuff". It is a perfect "anthem" for mothers everywhere! It always seems like the little "stuff" is the thing that makes us crazy - but it can show us patience and thus we an teach our children some patience. Enjoy! ...
When Motherhood Got Really Funny…
Motherhood has always been a time of joy and laughter. Toddlers are funny, they do cute things and are sweet. It's a very sweet time. Then... they start middle school and become - TEENAGERS! This is where I had to seriously develop my sense of humor (If I didn't I would have gone insane!) A little background - I have 3 daughters - 21, 13, and...
Pause…and Fast Forward
Did you ever go to sleep and wake up 2 months later?... Or maybe I blinked and missed the last 2 months. What ever it is all I know is one minute it was August - summer was getting ready to be over and school was getting ready to start. Now it is almost November and I'm looking at a pumpkin that has seen better days. I love to blog and I love...
Mom is Singing…
I like to sing. I'll admit it...I'm not the best singer, but it makes me happy so I sing. Apparently, my kids don't always like it when I sing. Today in the car as I was driving everyone to school, a song came on that I like. I know "most" of the words so I began singing. I heard my youngest in the back seat singing also. Then I feel it - eyes,...
I Have a NEW Washing Machine!
I have a new washing machine. I have never been this excited about an appliance before! It is a front load (so it's energy efficient, which makes my middle DD very happy!). My old washing machine was starting to leak so we got to go shopping for a new machine! In the past we would get the cheapest machine on the market and "get by". This time we...
Straws
A simple straw - used for drinking soda usually at a fast food restaurant. Occasionally, I like to use a straw to do something a little fun with my kids. I will create a "straw rocket". I will take the straws that are covered in paper, andtake off one end. Then I will blow through the straw sending the wrapper at one of my children. And...
Video of the Week: Positive Affirmations
I am a big believer in positive thinking. I think that humor can help create positive thinking. I encourage my girls to think and say positive things to each other and about other people. It doesn't always work, but parenting is a work in progress right! Here is a video about a little girl - Jessica and her positive affirmations. She just embodies...
Teenagers…’Nuff Said…
My favorite time for my kids is when they are teenagers (currently I have one that is out of the teenage years and two that will be entering the teen years in a year or two!). I can say that just like a woman can have two different answers about childbirth. When asked how childbirth was when it was 3 or 4 years ago will say - "It really wasn't...
Summertime
Dear Summer, You are going by much too fast. Whatever happened to the "lazy, hazy days of summer'? I remember as a child being bored a lot in the summertime. I am not bored - I don't have time to be bored. Summer, if you could just stretch yourself out to equal the "long, dark, winter" I would be very happy. I would really love to have...
Video of the Week: Van Update
I found this video online via FB. I love it! So I thought I would share and update everyone on my van. When I posted last about my van (Death of a Van) it was on it's last leg. However, it is fine (sort of!). It gets us from point A to point B (home to school and back). It doesn't have AC and the locks work sometimes! But it is working! I would...
