In part two, we discuss some creative ways to work on spending more quality time with the kids. We also spend some time exploring fun ways to exercise and involve the kids.
We hope you enjoy the show and would love to hear your feedback. Leave a comment with your ideas for the new year!
Here’s my plan for the week:
MONDAY
Lunch - Canned Lentil soup over brown rice, polska kielbasa, grape tomatoes, mandarin oranges
Dinner - Eat out with Grandaddy at Cici’s Pizza Read the rest of this entry »
Saturday is here again already, so here I am with another picture book review for all of you moms and dads out there!
I love it when I find a book that reminds me of my children. It may remind me of their Read the rest of this entry »
A couple of weeks ago, my 5-year-old complained of a stomach ache as he was getting into bed. He’d only eaten 6 slices of pizza, 2 helpings of Alfredo noodles and 2 desserts at the Cici’s Pizza buffet!
Last night as we were eating at Cici’s again, he was asking for dessert. When my husband asked him if he would be able to eat that much more without getting another stomach ache, my son nodded his head and said, Read the rest of this entry »
Recently, our community built a neat new tennis center. The Parks and Rec department charges next to nothing for kids’ tennis lessons. But I think it’s really “tooky” to use tax-payers dollars to build this thing and then require membership dues to play there.
Well, I understood the dues after I went to the bathroom. You wouldn’t believe all the niceties and “girly” stuff that was provided - all in these nice little organizational wicker baskets that I’d love to stuff in my jacket and take home with me because they’re always just too darn expensive for me to justify buying some for myself.
One basket had shampoos and conditioners. Another basket had scented hand lotions, hand sanitizers, and contact lens solution. Then I saw the answer to my prayers Read the rest of this entry »
I am usually relieved when the Christmas break ends and my kids go back to school/preschool, but this time I was a bit sad to see them go. We had a really good vacation from all the normal running around we do on a daily basis, and I was disappointed to see all that come to an end this last week.
Well, vacation is over, so I guess I better get back to the Menu Plan Monday thing! Read the rest of this entry »
I recently received a couple of books from Sylvan Dell Publishing that I agreed to review (I’m always on the lookout for good children’s books). The mission of Sylvan Dell Publishing is to bring science and math to children through literature, so I was a little skeptical - I didn’t expect an educational book to have much entertainment value.
I was pleasantly surprised, however, by ‘Twas the Day Before Zoo Day Read the rest of this entry »
The New Year brings on the desire of many to make New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve never been big on these, probably because I forget what they were before the end of January! **Click on the player above to listen to our podcast to hear about some creative ways to address some common resolutions**
The question posed by Blog Talkers this last week was Read the rest of this entry »
I was trying to catch up on some work for my “real” job the other night and it had gotten rather late. I was multi-tasking, which means I was probably getting less done that I should have been. Around 10 o’clock, I found myself making copies while filing a few papers (my least favorite task, next to grocery shopping). Suddenly, I heard the sound of trouble - paper getting jammed in the copier.
Now, this wasn’t just any paper. Read the rest of this entry »
Now that Christmas is over and done, my kids have given up on any snow this year. They don’t quite understand that December isn’t the coldest month of the year, especially here in the south!
We just don’t get that much snow here in Alabama, and it isn’t much even when we do! My oldest thinks it’s Read the rest of this entry »
Luxuries and affordable travel lodge that could provide you maximum ease for all your business travel needs and packaged cheap flights tickets feel you on holiday instead of boring working days with long travels and staying at hotels. Advance booking with car rental services at any travel lodge or some hotel could be cheaper than on spot booking because several rental cars and cruises holidays tickets are beneficial only when you book them in advance.
