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 [...]
Life as a Real Mom!
OK, so I’m going to take a minute to vent. I’m getting so tired of reading the chocolate covered, sugar coated memoirs of so many moms out there (sometimes myself included). My head hurts so bad right now and with every LOUD and obnoxious cry that comes from my tired 3 year old, [...]
Watch What You Say!
I usually don’t swear around my kids. However, today I dropped something on the floor and the words “Son of a bi*!@” slipped out of my mouth. Then, out of the mouth of my 3 year old, as he was heading out to play in the backyard, I heard the same exact words. [...]
Anatomy According to a 5 Year Old
My 5 year old has recently discovered that boys and girls and mommies and daddies have different body parts. Growing up, my parents had nicknames for these parts (a girl had a Poochie – still can’t get past this one, especially when they came out with a dog named that – and a boy [...]
What Day is it Again?
I remember when I was working outside the home at a full-time job, I didn’t have to stop and think about what day of the week it was or even date of the month it was. I could tell you as soon as you asked…even before you asked!
Today, I found myself emailing a fellow [...]
What About Mommy?
I’m so glad that our boys love their daddy so much, however, tonight I had an epiphany. I think it’s so adorable that our 1 year old says “DADDYYY!!” And then my husband responds back with “SAMMYYY!”
Then I realized it (just kind of clicked like a light a going on) – he’s never [...]
Mommy or Blogger?
I love blogging, but it can be quite time-consuming and sometimes I feel as though I’m neglecting my kids. I have taken more control recently and narrowed down the times of day that I work on my blog – whether it’s posting reviews, searching for new products, emailing other mommy bloggers, earning money via [...]
Mommy Moments – Life to a One Year Old
It always amazes me how much I forget about each stage in a child’s life (even though I have 3 kids). You forget about the discomfort you may have experienced during pregnancy. You forget about the “true” pains of labor. You forget about each of the stages of development and pure curiosity [...]
Mommy Moments – Mystery Milk
Every morning, I make my boys some chocolate milk and cereal. I usually put the newer containers of milk in the refrigerator door. I went to pull out the milk and noticed it felt a little heavier than usual but didn’t think much about it. I looked at the expiration date and it read June [...]
Teething Toddler = Overwhelmed Mommy
My 1 year old is teething! I’ve been told it’s a very painful process (I don’t remember it myself, but believe it to be true). As of late, my 1 year old has been very difficult! I’m trying to remain calm and amazingly the sound of the clicking on the keyboard is [...]
