How A Schedule Affects Motherhood
As a mom of 3 boys, the day can really fly by quickly if there isn’t a schedule in place. Before I moved to California, I had somewhat of a schedule. I tried to be consistent with serving meals at the same time every day, giving snacks at the same time every day, and picking [...]
Mommy Moments – How to Grocery Shop with 3 Boys
Here are a few tips from a “learning” mom of 3 boys on grocery shopping. Do you have any additional tips?
I did not receive any product or compensation for writing this post. It’s just from one mother to everyone watching – lol! All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
Potty Training Day 1
We are working hard on potty training Dallen, who just turned 4. I told him today that we were going to teach him how to potty train and he was going to be wearing big boy underwear. I also told him that if he went in the potty, he would get M&Ms as a treat [...]
Help! My Son Ate Hydrocortisone Cream!
In our house, we have Desitin and Hydrocortisone Cream, both of which are kept in the “diaper basket.” My almost 2 year old is also learning to brush his teeth – with the fruity Oral-B toothpaste – ya know with bears and Thomas the Train? I think he sucks more of it than he actually [...]
Eat the Food? No! Eject it Instead!
I have 3 boys and it’s interesting to see each of them go through similar stages and reactions. Righ now, we are dealing with the “Eject Food” stage with our almost 2 year old. If he doesn’t like something, there is no politely spitting it into a napkin or putting it in the trash or even [...]
Am I a Snack Bar or What?
With both my 5 year old and 3 year old, I nursed them until they were 2 (tapering off to naps and nighttime nursings) and I was pregnant with the next child. My youngest is almost 18 months old (and I am NOT pregnant), but am still nursing him. I loved nursing him when he was [...]
Being Sick is No Fun!!
I remember being sick when I was a kid. My mom or stepmom would bring me hot chicken noodle soup, give me medicine, make me Jell-O, tuck me in bed, take my temperature, feel my forehead, and let me rest with peace and quiet. Well….that was when I was a kid!
On Wednesday, my allergies started [...]
I’d Like A…..TACO PLEASE!!
This evening, I took my 3 boys to the KFC Drive-Thru to order a family chicken meal. I pulled up to the drive-thru ordering box and began to say “Hi, I’d like a…” and before I knew it the words “TACO PLEASE!” were coming out of my 5 year old’s mouth. He had rolled down [...]
First Day of Kindergarten
My oldest had his first day of Kindergarten yesterday. I think I was more nervous about him going to Kindergarten then he was! He had a blast! He was telling us all about it on the way home from dinner last night (and then…and then…and then..). It was really cute! Here are some pics of [...]
How Parents Can Prepare for Kindergarten
Today was my oldest’s first day of Kindergarten. I remember reading other blog posts about parents who had a hard time taking their children to school and how they felt happy and sad. My initial thoughts were, “he’s just going to Kindergarten. He is totally ready!”
Well, this part of the picture is [...]
