This has been an incredible week (let’s hope our luck holds a few more days for that test!) This week I am thankful for: B finally using the potty!! No accidents this week at all so far. She’s been potty training the entire almost 2 years that she’s been with us. She obviously wasn’t ready [...]

Beautiful Mothers
Posted in Parenting, Random Thoughts, tagged Blessings, Family, Parenting on April 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
As I sat at gymnastics today with Nick, I couldn’t help but be struck with how incredibly fortunate I am to be surrounded by wonderful women who are absolutely fantastic mothers. These women are kind, gentle, patient, loving mothers, and even when they get flustered or upset, they handle it so beautifully. I’m sure they [...]

What is the difference, and how can we instill those traits in our children? I like to consider myself a fairly resilient person. I’ve [...]

I had a lot of epiphany moments today, some of them were things that I knew before, but just cemented in my head a little more today, others were fairly new ideas. 1. I remember being told as a child that the actions of a child directly reflect on their parents, that people judge parents [...]
Winnie the Pooh makes way for the Transformers

Today I cleaned Nick’s closet out. I’ve been noticing a progressive trend in his closet everytime I change clothes he’s outgrown out. His clothes are growing progressively darker. Why don’t they make little boy’s clothes in fun colors? His adorable little Winnie the Pooh and Diego clothes came in reds, oranges, yellows, and bright greens. [...]
An Interesting Day

Today I didn’t have extra child (the little one I take care of during the day), because her mom was off work. I decided that son and I should have a nice mother/son day. I wanted to take him out to do something he’d enjoy and then come home, play games, maybe paint his volcano. [...]
