Here is a book I purchased specifically for Diva and her upcoming CM school year: For the Children’s Hour.
I first saw this book on amazon.com, but I hesitated in buying it initially as I wasn’t sure I really needed it, or that it would be just what I was looking for. However, I did [...]

MEMOS FROM YOUR CHILD
This little gem has been around for a while; I know it circulated among my friends when I was a young mother. I have no source to attribute the author’s credit, but the clear messages are as timely today as they were a generation ago.

Doing this:

I run upstairs to use the bathroom this morning and find it occupied by one adorable little Monkey girl, who is happily singing The Wheels on the Bus to her Barbie doll.
“Monkey, are you finished yet? Mommy needs to use the potty.”
“No mommy, I have to poop. It’s a mama poop.”
“A ‘mama’ poop?”
“Yes. [...]

I won’t call this required reading, but if you have a few minutes it is really, really good reading. One of my very favorite blogs, evah! I might be naive, I might be crazy, I might be many things, but I sometimes feel so overwhelmed with emotion at the goodness I still see [...]

I love pumpkin flavored coffee creamer, and it’s already almost gone from stores. What’s up with that? It’s not even Thanksgiving yet! I should have another two weeks at least people. Get with the program already.
I don’t “love” yet, but definitely “LIKE,” Peppermint White Chocolate Creamer from Lucerne. As with their [...]
