Mommy School

Image
By
So my kids miss school and surprisingly it is not just the friends.  We still see our friends almost everyday, but lately, they have been wanting to write letters, read books, color, and craft a lot more than usual.  One day I decided to ask them, do you miss school?  Sure enough they both said yes.  I asked if they would like to have our own little school at home and they both got SOOOO excited.

I found this awesome idea from the red kitchen and thought it would be perfect!  I found a pocket folder at the dollar store and put this bad boy together for ourselves (doesn't look as cute & even as I would like, but the kids love it and that is all the matters right?).

The kids will get to move the little boy and girl down as we move on to the next subject.  

I'm really excited about this for so many reasons!  
  • I have been a slacker mom lately. I've just been trying to get things done rather then just be with the kids.  This will give me at least 30 minutes a day where I am just with them.  All my attention will be on them.  
  • I'm excited because I know they are going to LOVE IT!  
  • I am excited because it takes almost no prep aside from choosing an activity & game to play.
  • I'm excited because I added scripture time to the list which if you read my talk is the next thing I want to try and master with the kids.
  • And I'm excited because it will be fun for me too!

This is going to be great!  Now we just need to get started!

What are you doing for your kids this summer to keep their brains active and continue learning?

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
