A real mom sharing real expereinces!
I sat here tonight planning out my week and felt totally overwhelmed! Then a word came to mind: balance. "Balance is a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc. or the mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment, etc." Dictonary.com I have been a full time "work outside the home mom" and I have been a full time "stay at home … [Read more...]
I am someone who takes the first few weeks of the new year to get myself re-organized. I enjoy this time and I look forward to it. Taking down all the Christmas decorations and deep cleaning the entire house is time consuming but really needed after the holidays. I admit to being a Type A person to the core. It may not be the first of the school year but it is the first of a New Year and I … [Read more...]
The other day I was chatting with my mother in law about this year. We were discussing God's provision and timing this year. This year has been full of ups and downs. I said it had been a year of "faith testers." She said "or doubt busters." I love that! Yes it was BOTH! Here is a short recap: We updated the kitchen to get ready to sell it. We moved with the plan of reaching financial … [Read more...]
Those are words I never thought I would say! My son, who is 3, is still in the process of potty training. I am now at the point where I am PROUD that he is wearing pull ups! Just last week when someone said "Is he still wearing diapers? He is not trained yet?" I turned to them and this flew out of my mouth: "At least he is wearing pull ups." Why on earth would a mom be bragging and proud that … [Read more...]
Over the last few months we have started switching out our bulbs from the incandescent to energy efficient bulbs. We started making the change this year when I heard about how much money could be saved on our electric bill. Honestly that was my only consideration and I just took the claims on the box as the whole truth and never thought about it again. I am glad I have started making the change … [Read more...]
Mission Accomplished! YEAH! It is finally true! My son is potty trained. This has been a crazy experience for me. My daughter was so easy to train and that is what I was expecting with him but I was wrong! I am not an expert but I am a mom who made a lot of mistakes! I learned so much during this! I decided surely there are other moms like me out there thinking it will never happen! So here is … [Read more...]
We are in the process of potty training at our house. M?y daughter, who is now 6, was a breeze. Basically she wanted to wear "big girl panties" one day before she turned 2 and so she did. It She never had accidents. Seriously it was amazing! So I did not understand when other moms would talk about how hard it was. I thought when I had my son it would be just as easy so I did not worry. But I was … [Read more...]
A few months ago a family moved in near us. On our block all the kids play with each other before and after school.This little boy immediately had targets. He was so mean! He even bullied ME! As an adult I didn't take any of that! But the other kids would end up in tears. They were scared of him. He took their things, hit, insulted and was just mean! He would come to my home and insult me and my … [Read more...]

I just can not believe that 5 years have past and the big day is almost here. This is just one of the many 1st we will experience in her life but wow it is a biggie for this mom! How did we get here? Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the first smile, … [Read more...]
If you are a busy parent like we then you are likely always looking for ways to make life a little easier! What if you could make your life and your kids chore assignments easier? No more sticker charts, chalkboards and all the other neat things I have tried. They always fail because they end up taking up to much time or the kids are not excited about them. BUT now there is an awesome FREE … [Read more...]
