We made a goal this year to read more books to our children. I am happy to announce that we have been keeping our goal. Both of our children love books and that makes my husband and I very happy. We brought my Princess books for Homeschool Kindergarten Reading Class and she is doing really well. I love seeing her read the words and sound out words that are difficult. Reading is so great!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas for Him
This is a sponsored campaign with Mums the Word Network and PickURGift. All opinions are my own. At Christmas time I told you all about a great new "reverse wishlist" site called pickURgift.com.

My Toddler is Hitting!
My sweet baby boy is a bully. He is only 19 months old but he makes his 6 year old sister cry at least once a day. He is hitting her and scratching her pretty often. And she is scared of him now.

Holiday Organization with Brother P-touch
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Brother P-touch. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating. I shop all year long for great deals on Christmas gifts.

Instead, I have this huge mess right before the … [Read more...]
