Gratitude Tree: A Thanksgiving Playgroup Treat

Thanksgiving is a great time of year to teach children gratitude. Learning to have a grateful heart takes practice, but it’s something most kids are usually pretty good at. It’s the adults that need to remember the little things and how great a red leaf or toasted marshmallows really are. A great way to incorporate a spirit of thanks—and giving—is to make a gratitude tree at your next playgroup. Read more... or paste link… Continue

Grandma’s Recipe, Grandpa’s Stories: Exploring Your Family Heritage and Traditions During the Holidays

Traditions comfort us. They remind us our childhoods. Our heritage unites us with our parents, grandparents, and the generations that came before us. There’s no better way to learn about your family heritage than to continue the holiday traditions you enjoyed as a child as well as adding in a few new ones of your own. You might even be melding to family traditions into your house—your spouse’s and yours. Sometimes that creates a crazy mix—but it’s twice as fun and who says you can’t celebrate Kw… Continue

Fashion in the Crazy House= Epic fail this week!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all well this week. I was totally planning on posting another "Get this look for less" this week but sadly we have all been sick with H1N1 Flu here.

The mommy bell finally went off Tuesday morning and I thought I better get her to the doctor. So I did.. and low and behold... Swine Flu! I came down with exactly the same symptoms… Continue

Moody Mamas Giveaway

This fall we are all trying to decide what are the latest trends in fashion. We know that leggings paired with boots are hott. We are also seeing lots of military jackets this season, but what about for the pregger mama?? You know just how hard it is to find flattering maternity ware. For me, I was not into the always wrap around tie type outfits. I am stylish mom and always want to feel that way.

The Hubby.. then & now...

So here is something I dont blog about often. My Husband and his lack of fashion sense. Now I love my husband, I truly do. Let me give you a little background on the Hubs. He is 43 and adores NIKE. I mean really. Like tons of NIKE. Everything. Socks, undies ( Yup, they make NIKE undies) and shorts, pants, shirts, sweatshirts. You name it, he has it. And wears it all.. every day! Dont get me wrong. He does dress up on occasion but he owns his own company and he sits in his office most days on the… Continue

THE 13 RULES OF LIFE

THE 13 RULES OF LIFE 1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas. 2. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move...and it should, use WD-40.

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. 5. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm. 6. The only… Continue

THE MAMA TEST

THE MAMA TEST I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, And probably has germs,' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Mama, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.' I was thinking quickly and r… Continue
