Surfer Boy

It is getting critical again. The length of my youngest son’s hair, that is. I’ve been letting it grow out. It now hangs just below his shoulders in the back and looks incredible. It’s so soft and golden and perfect. Coupled with his little personalized hemp necklaces, it makes him look like a tiny surfboarder. […]

In my home, Friday nights are Forced Family Fun nights. We eat junk food and sip root beers while we play board games. The boys and I plan for Fridays all week long, hammering out important questions like, “Pizza or nachos?” and “Monopoly or LEGO Star Wars?” For the record, I’ve started opting for LEGO […]

Stretching the Grumpies Away

Mornings are not a happy time around here. Neither boy wakes up in a good mood, a trait they have gotten from their mother. We’re a grumpy lot, the three of us. I used to just accept it, that we would be three grumpy bears each and every morning. Sure, there were a few times […]

Do you have the toddler 411?

Toddlers can be a little crazy at times. If only they came with instrustion manuals to know what to do. Then when they refuse to eat anything yellow, stop taking naps, and begin carrying a stinky blanket around everywhere we moms would know what to do. Or at least pretend that we know what to […]

Indecision and the young child

Posted by Commander Mommy

Almost every mother who has raised a toddler knows about the indecision stage. The stage where as soon as you hand the child exactly what they ask for, they want something else. Lucky as my older son moves into his preschool stage he is moving past this, but we still have moments. Like this Sunday. […]

Musical Beds

No, I’m not speaking of beds that sing, although I’m imagining now beds with built-in lullabies to lull your babes to sleep at night.  Not a bad idea.  What I’m talking about though is similar to the game musical chairs but instead of giggling children being the participants you have sleepwalking, bed-wetting kids and cranky […]

If you haven’t gotten your taxes filed than you are LATE!  Of course you already knew that but I just wanted to give a friendly reminder.  We are some of the many that filed an extension this year.  Our accountant finished our taxes on Monday, put them in a place my husband could come pick them […]

Who is teaching your children?

I was sitting at storytime with my kids yesterday watching them make a craft and I noticed that my 2-year-old didn’t know how to use the scissors.  The little girl next to her knew how to use them so I started thinking, “Is my child behind?  Why can’t she do it too?  Her sister can!”  Then I […]

I’ve posted before about journaling to remember all your cutie pie’s sweet and funny sayings but I am writing about it again today as a reminder to you!  As moms we get so BUSY with our daily routines then evening roles around and we are even busier with dinner, homework, bath-time, bedtime, etc. and by […]

Almost every mother that is blessed with being able to take family vacations wonders when is the right time to make the voyage to Disney.  Most of us went when we were younger and it is an experience that every child should get to have. 
So how old should your kids be before you take them to this […]
