Once upon a time I was a little girl (shut up – I said it was once upon a time) and every Christmas season, I looked forward to getting to see my favorite shows, shows like Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer, The Year Without a Santa Claus (my v-e-r-y favorite!), Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, The Little Drummer Boy, and Frosty the Snowman.
Well, the good people at Build-a-Bear have come up with yet another adorable rendition of a cuddly creature – Frosty the Snowman!  This is first of the gifts for Prize …

If you have a little girl in your life, chances are that at one point or another she will be head-over-heels for horses.  I know I sure was and in a way, I still am so nothing is more fun than sharing that with my middle daughter, P2.  A while back, I had the chance to post about Bella Sara and Baby Bella. That is when I introduced P2 to them for the first time.  Since then we have learned about Treasures & Miniatures compliments  of Team Mom, helped with …

Yesterday I learned of a wonderful combination and I am so excited to announce the news today!!  Many of my friends have been sharing the merits of Frigidaire’s incredible new appliance line.  Well they have chosen now to kick it all up a notch by taking their commitment to mothers everywhere one step further by joining forces with one of my favorite oft-admired and philanthropic celebrity moms, Jennifer Garner!  I knew I liked that woman!
You see, not only is Jennifer a huge fan of the time-saving features of the …

I am not sure if my girls will be watching the President when he talks to school kids today but I told them they might.  How about yours?
No doubt you are aware that there has been much debate over this speech and whether it should be introduced in the schools. Regardless of what side of the line you are on, this creates a golden opportunity to talk to your children about why school is such an part of their future – important enough that the President is taking time …

As you may have heard, recently Continental Airlines’ Flight 128 hit severe turbulence, causing injuries to at least 26 people. One passenger said he felt the plane drop without warning while flight attendants were in the aisles. Some were thrown against the roof injuring at least 26 — including four seriously — and forcing an emergency landing in Miami.  When I read this, all I could think was Wow!
I have recently flown a couple of times and it really made me think about this very thing.  What about my kids?  …

Flip’n Fridays – Since Flip video cameras are all the rage, this fun new meme from Cat seems like the perfect fun addition.
How to Wear a Seatbelt – Seems like something very mundane and obvious, right?  But how many of us actually wear them or put them on our …

Today, school is over and P2 comes running in the door to show me something.
P2:  “Mama, guess what – Guess What?!?! ”
Shows me a heart-shaped bracelet.
“This means *John Doe and I are R*E*A*L*L*Y gonna get MARE-EED!”
And with that she happily skipped off.

*The  names have been changed to protect the innocent.:)

If you are a regular reader here, you have heard me rumbling about some behavioural issues we have been having with P1, our bright and shiny 7 year old.  She is as smart as a whip and twice as sassy these days.  Some of that is to her benefit and some, yeah, well, not so much.  She has always been a very emotional child.  On the positive side, she can have the most tender of hearts and give you an all-encompassing hug that you can see, feel hear and taste, …

Parenting is NOT for wimps.
Sometimes I feel pretty overwhelmed at the volume of things we need to be teaching our kids, each and every day.
Fostering a mindset of abundance in your children is one of the greatest gifts you can give them — especially during less than ideal economic times.  Doing so helps them see the world as full of opportunity for those willing to work diligently toward their goals.  Young people with an abundance attitude realize that wealth is not finite and …

Well, we are officially back in school….woohoo!! How do I know we are back in school? You mean other than the fact that tranquility reigns at our home until about 3pm M-F? Well, that would be because P1 came home with a reminder from her First grade English teacher that the kiddos are to read at least one book a night and then mark it off on their reading log. P1 LOVES to be able to mark off the design of the month – Oct was …
