Question? What have you decided about the H1N1 shot for your kids?
I have an appointment for JDaniel to get the H1N1 shot in early November. He has already had his flu shot. With all the conflicting reports on television it is hard to know what if I should take him to get it. One expert on the Today show this morning thought it was a bad idea and then another expert came on and thought it was a good idea. If you have decided what you are going to do , could you leave me a comment and let me know what you have decided and why.

Clue 10: Wonderful
Mommyhood Tip- Newspaper Goes to the Dogs
I was just reading through e-mail and came across this great idea from Amy Loves It. It fits right in with the recycling theme I have been talking about this week.
Here is her tip: If you are not near a recycling center, see if your local animal shelter can use your old newspapers. Even if you have a recycling center near by, you may want to see if shelters can use the newspapers.
Mommyhood Tip- Practicing Spelling Words in the Tub
I just read this tip in Family Fun Magazine. You need to tape up your child’s spelling list on the outside of glass door of your tub or shower. Then let your child trace the letters in each word this bathtub crayons. I think it is a great way to review your spelling words.
Mommyhood Tip- Create Greeting Card Picture Walking Books
I am not sure where I first read about this idea.It is a really good way to reuse greeting cards.
Here is how you put together your greeting card picture walking book:
1.You remove the front part of a bunch of greeting cards.
2.You take a hole punch and punch a hole in one corner of each card.
3.You put a metal ring through the holes.
How do you use them to picture walk?
-You can flip through the cards and talk about what it happening on each card.
-You can look for a particular color on each card.
-You can look for a particular element on a card.(trees,animals,candles,flowers)
Older Children
-You could use them to discuss the setting of each illustration.
-You could have a child select a card and use it as a story starter.
-You could have a child select a card and make up a word problem for that card.
Two Moja Creations Reusable Bags Giveaway
Moja Creations has donated two great reusable lunch bags to this giveaway. The only thing they asked was that I let you know they strongly support recycling, reusing, and reducing waste. If you don’t already have bags like these, you may find yourself going through boxes on sandwich bags. Yes, you can clean your zip lock bags and reuse them. Some of you may do that. Some of you may get your children to bring their bags home from school so you can clean them and used them again if they remember. With great bags like these your children won’t forget to bring them home. You will be able to reuse them over and over again. Think about all the waste you will be saving. I know there are have been several giveaways in the last few months for bags like these.What I love about these are their sturdy construction, cute designs and a great handle. The handle would be great for children to have around their wrist to carry their snack around or to hang from a stroller.
I do want to tell you a little about the ladies at Mojo before I tell you how you can win the bags.
This is what they wrote in their Etsy bio:
We are two life-long friends who have recently graduated from the University of Florida. Throughout our lives we have found ourselves wanting to create and sell many things: from lemonade stands as young kids to beaded keychains while saving up for a car! In the past year we have discovered sewing and love that the ideas are endless. So often we find ourselves saying “Hey, we could totally make that!” to one another!
We hope you enjoy our items- we love knowing that our eco-friendly and reusable items will help create a sustainable environment for the future!

Mommyhood Tips- Teaching Toddlers to Share
I found a great article called 10 Parenting Tips To Help Teach Your Child To Share located on the More 4 Kids website. Here are there tips:
•Tell your toddler that not sharing may mean his friends will not want to share with him either.
•If your toddler doesn’t want to share, explain why it’s important to share.
•Take the toys in question away; if your toddler doesn’t want to share – then no one will play with the toys.
•Never yell at the toddler, but be firm in your reprimands. Yelling rarely gets you anywhere and does not set a good example.
•If your toddler screams and carries on; give the toddler a timeout, or what I like to do is a time in and sit down with your child, talk to him or her and make sure there is not really some other issue that is causing the problem.
•Thank your child for sharing his toys with others.
•Teach your toddler to think of others and how happy it makes them when they share their toys.
•If other toddlers are invited over, ask your toddler to pick out some toys to put away. But also remind him the toys left out can be shared with everyone.
•Teach by example; show your child how you are willing to share something you own.
•Finally, start very young. When my youngest was just a few months old and could sit up we would start playing a game. I would give him a toy and whenever he gave it back I would smile profusely, say ‘thank you’ and give it back to him. Now when we are playing together he routinely shares his toys with me and his big brother.
These tips are just guidelines. I found them very helpful read over and think about how I am teaching JDaniel to share.
