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

Friday Favorite- Mom and Dad’s Computer

By

Mom and Dad’s computer is a favorite thing for the whole family. JDaniel has a little laptop that he enjoys, but not as much as his parent computer. The screen is in color and the keyboard is bigger. Maybe that is why he loves it. I am not sure. I just know he makes a bee line to it now. 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

Mommyhood Tip- Bring Your Own Headphones to Use at the Library

By

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. In my previous life as a technology resource teacher we cleaned the headphones in the computer lab often. I am not sure how often they get a chance to clean the headphones in the library. JDaniel is Continue Reading

Mommyhood Tips- Timing Computer Usage

By

We discussed the internet and computer usage at the Mentor Moms group I attend at my church. One thing that kept coming up was the amount of time both parents and children spend on the computer. 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 have a digital native!

By

JDaniel is a digital native. He loves computers. It maybe because he sees his parent working on their computers. My husband and I are both geeks. He has a laptop of his own but can’t wait to get on his parents or the computers in the children’s section at the library. On Wednesday he sat at the library clicking away at the key with fingers on both 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
