I Want More than TV Kids

I Want More than TV Kids

When my daughter was a little one, television shows were monitored heavily. My daughter would have never, ever watched cartoons like SpongeBob Sqaurepants or other shows that I felt had no educational value to them. This was something I would not budge on with rules and if someone else watched what I felt was a “bad” cartoon in those days I would have freaked, yet now my sons can watch cartoons with little to no educational value such as Tom & Jerry, Roadrunner and more without me even batting an eyelash. It’s so weird how becoming a mom for two then three times changed my views and opinions on what is okay to have on the TV. For instance, my five year old son is all about competitive sports, he …

The House I Grew Up In

The house I grew up in has so many memories within it and around the yard. I stand on the deck and look over to the pond, I swear I can still see that day my father threw an ice skating party for my sister and me. Our little girl friends ice skating around and smiling, laughter fills the air. This memory is one of my favorites. The house I grew up in comes with some really bad memories, ones that make my heart break when I think about them. From parents fighting to the final divorce, sure I could focus on some really bad memories that come right to my mind clear as day, as if they happened yesterday. I choose not to remember the bad memories, I choose …

How To Get Children To Accept Bunk Beds

The new baby had arrived and we ended up in a home that was completely out of room. We had assumed that the two boys were going to fit into the guest bedroom together with their 2 single beds but alas we had made fast inaccurate measurements that were coming back to haunt us. Not knowing any better I broke the news of the upcoming bunkbeds to the boys nonchalantly over breakfast. I had no idea that I would get the reaction I received and was in fact quite stunned to hear it. “Bunkbeds? No way!” said my youngest. My older boy of 12 looked up slowly and carefully to add, “Bunkbeds aren’t cool mom” and then slowly went back to eating. I had a fight on my hands, that’s …

Mayonnaise Works To Remove Head Lice

I know the talk of head lice makes my own skin crawl so I am sure it’s not the most fun topic to discuss, but when you have children that are in school, anything is possible. For me, it was two different times that head lice happened upon my house due to my first born and it was rough. When my daughter was 2 years old she ended up with head lice, I have no clue how nor where & recall being thankful I used a lot of hair junk back then because I never got head lice even though I shared a bed with her. I went through all of the chemicals that they have out there, I followed every single possible step one would think of and should …
