In celebration of Back to School season (all five of my kids head back to school tomorrow morning!) I’m launching my first ever Back to School giveaway week, with exciting giveaways every day. This week will be full of fun and lots of great prizes (including my first ever photo editing giveaway….a la Lolli…try it….
The Face of a Happy Child
This is the face of a child eating a Happy Meal (she doesn’t get to eat those very often!). This is the face of a happy child. This is the face of a child enjoying her mama’s undivided attention. A child with an unexpected, spontaneous 3 hour mommy-daughter date. This is the face of a…
Knock, Knock! Mommy, Are you There?
Effective parenting means taking the time to listen and to understand the hearts of our children so that we can grow together in faith, friendship, and love. This video was a great reminder to me of what I need to do more often. Here’s to a happy, unplugged Sunday.
Pink and Black Do Not Go Well Together
My room was dark. I was awakened by CandyMan, my husband, calling my name. I was vaguely aware that he had gotten out of bed earlier to go running. I was happy to stay in bed and sleep for a few extra….precious….minutes. My bed was warm and the house was cold. The kids would still…
Kids Are Parrots (Watch Out!)
Role Model or Potty Mouth? I am not and have never been one to swear. Swearing makes me uncomfortable (including made up “safe” swearing….it sounds just as bad to me). In this video, I related much more to the hesitant husband. And, yes, like the wife in this video, CandyMan is a little more on…
Moms, It’s Worth It
I watched this video for the first time sitting in a room with more than a dozen mothers. Some had babies, others toddlers. A few of us had older kids and teens, and there were a few with children who had grown. Every one of us could relate with the mom at the beginning of…
Lolli’s Guide to Savvy Parenting
I’ve been a mother now for over 13 years. If you count the time that I was pregnant with KitKat, my darling teenager, then we could just round up to 14. Fourteen years. Motherhood is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. If I’ve done my math correctly, I’ve clocked approximately 122,640…
Celebrating Teens – I Heart Faces
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. ~Dave Barry Mothers of teenagers know why animals eat their young. ~Unknown The young always have the same problem – how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another. ~Quentin…
How Much Time Do Your Kids Spend Online?
During the school year, computer use is kept at a minimum for my kids (me? That’s another story!). My kids are at school for 7 1/2 hours a day, have homework and chores to do once they get home, and participate in scouts and other activities in the evenings. We stay busy. But the…
Dance Like No One is Watching
Today’s guest post is brought to you by the super fun Allison from Alli-n-son. Meanwhile, I am busy getting ready to jump into this conference business. Just a few more hours! I’ve never been good at letting lose, especially around new people, or people that I don’t see often, or sometimes even good friends. I’m…
