Oh to Be a Blogging Mom with Little Kids
My tween and teen give me PLENTY to blog about. The arguments. The hissy fits. The temper tantrums. The pouty lips. The rolled eyes. But… …I can barely blog about any of it. You see my girls read my blog. It would be uber awkward for one of them to read a post about them... »
I Know What I Did This Summer or #Backtoschool Needs to Get Here Quick!
Another lengthy comment that I am turning in to a blog post!! You would think that since my children are 14, 11, and 7 that this summer would have been a breeze. Nope. It was an utter nightmare. Thank goodness my teacher/administrator husband was off for part of June and all of July.... »
Sun Exposure for Kids, Preteens, and Teens
Another comment from a forum that was long enough for a post! In answer to the question, do you use sunscreen, why, and what strength. If you want to participate in this discussion, join MomSpark Forum. I had one very bad burn on my back as an 8-year-old and another serious burn on my... »
This Week Is Kicking My You Know What
I’m not even the parent-in-charge this week and I am totally stressed out. My husband is Mr. Mom. He has been since school let out. It’s a plus having a teacher for a husband. Especially during the summer. He’s doing laundry. Cooking. Getting it done. And, he’s the designated driver of the carpool to camp,... »
How Did Our Mothers Do It?
If this post was a sponsored post, it would be sponsored by a company that manufactures megaphones or a store that sells earphones. Seriously, folks this has been the summer of kids yelling, mom yelling, dad yelling, and the fish yelling. I am assuming the fish are yelling since we can’t hear ‘em through... »
Googly Bands Are in the House and a Twitter Party!
Spring is a time when kids go wild. Some children have a hard time sitting still in circle time at school. Homework is the last thing on many children’s list of things to do. Summer seems like it is around the corner, and yet June seems soooo far away. Our house had Spring Fever badly... »
The Jensen Project: Family Movie Night #jensenproject
What is the Jensen Project? I’m not sure. I know it has something to do with Family Movie Night. I can totally stand behind any force to get families together…eating dinner together, family game night, etc. The writeup sounds as though it is right up my alley. Here’s what I know… The Jensen Project is... »
Be Safe in the Summer
We may not be hikers or outdoorsy people, but we stay active. Teen and preteen play volleyball. Kid plays lacrosse. All three kids are on the swim team. Dad is in a volleyball league. Mom — even I — works out at a health club. Some of us are more active than others…ahem. One constant... »
Writing Tips for 1st Graders Who Hate to Write
I suffer from terrible writer’s block on this blog. I go for a few days without writing. I have no such problems when I leave a comment. I am positively overflowing with ideas. It is as though the blog post is a writing prompt. My 1st grader may or may not have writer’s block. He... »
What Age Did Your Child Sit Still AND Watch a Movie in the Movie Theater?
I posted this response over at @MomSpark Forum in answer to the question in the title of this post. Add your first experience in a movie theater over @MomSpark Forum not on this post. — We had a few AWFUL “first time at the movies” experiences. I took my then-3-year-old to see Tarzan. In the first... »
