Mommyhood Moment- Finding Love, Joy, and Pleasure in Leaves

By

JDaniel and I set out to rake the leaves in front of our house yesterday. We both rakes in handmade our way from the shed in the back of the house to the leaves scattered everywhere in the front. He was excited about helping mom do a big person’s job. At first, we did rake the leaves. I raked them into piles and he raked them out of piles. Next, Continue Reading

Mommyhood Moment-You Need a Bigger Mom to Use the Racecar Grocery Cart

By

I have tried to use the racecar grocery cart. It is the most unyielding thing to try to push down the aisle of a store. JDaniel was placed in one at Home Depot once and ever since then he has pointed to them frantically as we enter the grocery store. They are always right inside the door. It is like they are waiting for him. I have tried to explain Continue Reading

Mommyhood Moment-The Tale of Two Haircuts

By

I have been trimming JDaniel's hair for months. I just cut his curls off the collar of his pajamas, his bangs and the little wisps of hair that hang over his ears after he has a bath. Today I decided to take him for his first haircut to a hair salon for kids. They advertise that the first haircut is only one penny. He loved waiting for his turn Continue Reading

I was reminded of another computer related Mommyhood Tip today. JDaniel likes to hop from computer to computer and loves to have the headphones on.

JDaniel is Continue Reading

A suggestion was to set a kitchen timer for the amount of time you want to be on the computer and to stop working on the computer when it goes off. I know Continue Reading

Mommyhood Moment-I’ve got to go the Bathroom! It’s an Emergency!

By

Have you ever heard this while traveling in the car with your children? Have you ever heard yourself saying it? Yesterday on my way home from visiting my sister about a half a hour from home I found myself saying this. I said it in my head and began to pray. I prayed that my nineteen month old would wake up from his two hour nap so that I would be Continue Reading

Mommyhood Tip- Waiting Room Fun Bag

By

We have a great time playing with the train in the waiting room of the pediatrician office until someone bigger comes along. I have started bringing a bag of toys and activities with me to the doctor’s office. It gives us something to do when the train is busy or when we are waiting in the examination room. I bring a coloring book, crayons, a Continue Reading

Mommyhood Moments- Decorating the Kitchen with Oatmeal

By

JDaniel has decided that he is ready to feed himself oatmeal in the morning. He tries to use a spoon to eat and when he gets tired or frustrated with it he moves to his hands. I am pretty sure oatmeal shouldn’t be eaten with your hands. By the time he has finished eating he has oatmeal hanging from his chin, on the tip of his nose, up and down his Continue Reading
