The winter blues have definitely hit the house and it has been long and grueling. With the flu having come and gone, it is only fitting to wish for warmer weather where we can escape the germ-infested house and get some much needed fresh air. Wishful thinking…until today.
Are you ready for a little mischievous fun? These St. Patrick’s Day STEAM activities are sure to get your littles excited about science. Start the week off with a Skittles experiment. (Because leprechauns love rainbows of course. 😉 ) Just Read more…
As a momma to three little girls, it can get easy to forget your unique self; the person who you were prior to being called “Mommy.” Many times I collapse at the end of the night and wonder where “I” was during the day. Where did the time go and how am I still in my morning workout gear at 8:00 PM?
I know for me, whenever I am away from home for a period of time with or without the littles, I can get over the fact that I am on “vacation” and I resort back to the fact that I really want my own bed and own daily routine. Don’t get me wrong, I love to vacation and feel there is a place for it in any family. I am always grateful for the time away from the everyday norm. But, when you are displaced from your home based on circumstances that are not of your control, that gratefulness can go out the window. You can feel stressed and wonder when “normalcy” will creep back in.
Ah, yes! It is that time again…when you sit back and settle into family traditions…or come up with some new ones to compliment the ones already in place.
The act of being thankful is a muscle we all need to exercise from time to time. I believe it is extremely important for kids to see their loved ones showing thankfulness, being thankful and demonstrating how thankfulness works.
EXHAUSTION…Ah, there is that word! That word is one I didn’t allow to enter into my mind as I gave birth to my third child. I have been down this road and I know how this ends…and exhaustion is NOT going to take over this time.
I’m usually not all about fads but I am all about starting traditions that I feel I would want my kids to carry on in their own family someday. I stumbled across this tradition of the Thanksgiving Thankful Tree and thought I would share.
The thing about it is, I don’t have time to make gourmet meals daily and when I do, she doesn’t eat them anyways. So…what is a momma to do? I am a fan of meal prepping for myself, making meals ahead of time so that I can grab and go on those crazy days, saving me time and money. So I put that same concept into action for my toddler.
My favorite part of being a mommy is watching my husband be a daddy. Before having kiddos, we were pretty clear on how we wanted to raise our children, God willing. A strong faith background drove our thoughts on how we would approach parenting in general.
