Thanks to Poise for sponsoring today's discussion. As a parent, you daily face hilarious situations. Some are so awful that they just have to be laughed at. I need to start keeping track of all the funny things my Little Man is doing. I started this blog to keep track of what my Princess was doing and saying and I love looking back at posts from four years ago and laughing about it all over again. {That's the great thing about blogging isn't it?} In my experience, these situations have … [Read more...]
Chocolate Energy Snack Bar
Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias and its advertiser #BarNutrition. I am waiting for a calm, mellow day to occur where I can just sit on my couch and watch TV, swim at the adult pool in our community and read a book. That's it. It is honestly my idea of a perfect summer day. But as a mother to two young children, I live a fast paced on the go life. Today, I was super hungry at 4 pm and I realized that I didn't eat lunch. The rest of my family did but somehow I … [Read more...]
10 Reasons I Love the Chevrolet Suburban
I had a busy week last week! Last Sunday, we got back home after spending over a week in the 5th wheel RV for hubby's work. We had to unload the RV, wash clothes, clean up the RV, and then get it ready for storage. We also had warm weather so the kids wanted to go to the community pool. My Princess and I still have 20 days left of Homeschool Kindergarten (yes, we are going year round!) On top of that, we had to get ready for an awesome 4th of July celebration. And lastly? We needed to get ready … [Read more...]
Freedom: I’ve Got My Bedroom Back!
I have stuck to my guns. My Little Man has slept in his own bed at the start of each night since he turned two. The latest he's slept in his own room was 4:00 am. Then I go in and lay next to him or let him come into bed with me. To be honest, it hasn't been easy. My husband was gone for a week right after we made the transition and it would have just been easier to have him in my bed with me. But I knew it would only have made it more difficult to keep him in his own bed. He … [Read more...]
Mommy Time with Netflix: What are you Binge Watching?
In the evening, after everyone is asleep in their own bed and I've finished blogging, I sit on the couch. I take 45 minutes to an hour of "mommy time". I put on a television show (I haven't watched a movie for a long time!) on Netflix and just relax. I also like to snack late at night too. {Not good for me at all!} Can anyone say, Pizza Popcorn? Do you like relax with television shows? This year I have started watching (or finished watching) the following five television shows on … [Read more...]
It’s the Little Things that Make Parenting Worthwhile
This week we are at our church camp meeting. We are staying in our RV trailer for a week and actually having a lot of fun with the other campers from churches around Washington state. My Princess has a Kindergarten class happening three times per day all week. She LOVES it! When you get to send your child to class three times per day, that makes parenting a lot easier for the week! Parenting can be stressful, can't it? I stopped by her class 5 minutes early to spy on her. They were finishing … [Read more...]
Why Book a Last Minute Vacation?
Are you like me and crave some sunshine and sand this summer? Can’t wait to sun yourself beach-side while listening to the kids making a splash in the ocean? If so, you might very well be considering a last minute vacation for the family, and good for you! We as parents are so stressed throughout the school year and vacation plans are put last on the list. Whether it is a stressful house move or an unexpected bill a last minute vacation can be a great idea. But, what do you need to bear in … [Read more...]
