From One Mom To Another

As many of you know I have been taking a healthy cooking class. I have been learning so much about what the ingredients I read on packages really are.( I am going to share some of them here soon). I have always been amazed at how many parents do not understand the importance of [...]

Need something to do with cooped up kids? Kerri suggests a bubble bath … a great idea that is usually forgotten. We use it at the end of the day. Our girls get in together, and will typically give us at least 30 minutes to catch up on everything they have pulled [...]

I am submitting an application for Emily to enter Kindergarten next year, for now we have decided on the private school with our church. You know what I found interesting? They are going to test her on colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. She has to be able to write her first and [...]

I have been reading a blog that is to help with weight loss. Her principles of “Eat4Today” is something we can use in every aspect of our lives. Katie sets goals for herself everyday, but only for that day. As someone who struggles with my weight I especially liked this site. It focuses on one [...]

I was reading on Nola’s blog and she wrote the ten things she loved about being a mom. I chuckled through some of them, like #2 “Listening to them give each other advice.” This is so true. I take my five year old daughter, Emily, and my almost 5 year old niece, Sydney, to [...]

I love this idea I found today on another site. If you are tired of the mounds of books that your child has collected, but can’t seem to get rid of a perfectly good book, then here is an idea for you! It is a book swap. For a minimal yearly fee you can post [...]

This morning I want to introduce someone who has made me laugh on more than one occasion. “Red the Barber” seems to blog about whatever is on his mind. From political issues, his latest being about his outrage with the lack of character in politics, to “Gilmore’s Gone South”. Being the first man I add [...]

While reading from another smart mom’s site, Robyn reminded me of something I too have heard before, but needed reminding of. KISS-Keep It Simple Stupid. A few years ago I thought my life was so dull. Being newly married we needed married friends, we weren’t active in much, and I was a stay-at-home mom with [...]
