Lately my son has been having more of an attitude, being defiant, not listening, and whining much more! Maybe it's a 5 and 1/2 phase (I keep hoping), but I can't take it anymore! Especially since my youngest is Very good at being 2! I can't deal with both of them being out of control! So I decided to try the reward chart again. Only for the oldest … [Read more...]
To Not believe in gender stereo-types
I had to share this story (link below). My son has long hair. He started growing it out to look like a pirate about a year or so ago. Now he's really into Native American Indians, so he now tells me he's an Indian. I love his hair! It's thick, rich chocolate brown, with waves and curls. I wish I had hair like his! He's always looked and dressed … [Read more...]
Stop and Smell the Blue Roses
Once in a great while I actually read those annoying forwards that clutter my email inbox and once in a very, very great while, I'm actually glad I did. I don't know who wrote it, but I just loved this story: A Blue Rose Having four visiting family members, my wife was very busy, so I offered to go to the store for her to get some needed … [Read more...]
Can’t Wait to Slow Down
I have been ignoring the state of my house, except I finally threw in a load of laundry this week after my husband told me he had no clean shirts to wear to work tomorrow! I rarely cook anymore and if I do, it's a 10 minute meal! And I'm not really getting any quality time with the kids and I'm SO missing them! At least one was in day camp all … [Read more...]
Who's idea was this?!
My 8th wedding anniversary is today and though we planned no big thing, my husband did good! He came home with a bunch of gorgeous roses & box of Sees candies! A huge step up from barely remembering a card last year and nothing at all the previous two years. Ya, he's big on romance (major sarcasm). Since we're big on family, we … [Read more...]

Get Kids Involved in Organizing and Cleaning, the earlier the better
Seems like the theme of the month is organizing. This subject keeps popping up. People must have put off spring cleaning and now, realizing it's already summer, are looking around their cluttered homes wondering how in the world they accumulated so much crap and what the heck to do with it all?!! I know I am! Maybe it's just me? If you're a … [Read more...]
Naps are Definitely still needed!
Not that I thought otherwise, but now I know for sure, naps are definitely still needed! My precious baby girl didn't get one yesterday and by 4pm, she was perfectly happy. Yep, you heard right, a smiling little angel, as long as she got her way! But God forbid anything not go exactly the way she wanted! She was completely falling apart over every … [Read more...]
Forcing my kids to have fun
Why do I have to drag my son, kicking and screaming to do something incredibly fun?! He loves his Karate class! He started last year and we tried out a bunch of other martial art studios, but he fell in love with this one (I highly recommend Rod Sanford Martial Arts in Soquel! http://sanfordkarate.com/ ) and only wanted to go there. So we've been … [Read more...]
Appreciating the Great Things in Life
Now that I've caught you up on those oh so important current events (see previous posts today) I have been reflecting on what an amazing thing it was that I was able to throw a great party this weekend for my baby girl. Warning, get ready for sappiness! I had to stop and just really appreciate life today. I have such an awesome one! I am so in … [Read more...]
