Lost In Translation

Not only are the sentences often confuzzled, but their minds are not well equipped yet to properly express the desires of their hearts. It can be frustrating to both parties!

No Cussing Club 10,000 Strong

I first heard about McKay Hatch on the radio news while waiting to pick up my own teens from school.  This is a pretty amazing story of a California 14 year old who has started a movement that can only be compared to the movie Pay It Forward.
In the eight months since he founded […]

Heart To Heart

Here’s a little idea that was featured on our episode of Supernanny, that I find extremely beneficial to our family. We call the activity “Heart To Heart.” For those of you who watched the show, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. But I will explain it anyway, for those who may have not seen […]

Good Golly, Meet Miss Molly

But try keeping a child who has ADHD and is recovering from an injury, down for a few days. It is a feat that requires some very creative thinking! During the past few days, I’ve had to keep my son home while he recovered from last Friday’s dog attack. Getting my son to sit still […]

Help Name My New Puppy

Tomorrow evening, the latest edition of my family will be coming home.  Something this tiny and this adorable needs an extra special name.
I would LOVE to have some of you help me out!

Around my house the kids know there are two things that will happen before their lives flash before them and they get a glimpse of the gates of hell.  Those two things are mom dropping the F Bomb and the glare of terror.
Over the last several days, we’ve had the discussion going on here about […]

Why Lie When Mommy Goes Bye-Bye

There are many times that I find myself observing how different adults handle various situations with younger children and toddlers.  One of the most recent observations I made was when a two-year-old realized her mother wasn’t around.  This was after mommy had gotten cleaned up and snuck out the back door to go out on […]

I made someone’s day and got the button to prove it!

Jennifer at Tree Hugging Family made my day by saying I made her day and passing on the You Made My Day award to me.

Now, I […]
