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.
Don’t spoil me. I know quite well I [...]

I am an internet junkie.
I am just letting that sink in for a moment, because I have come to realize that it’s true. It sounds silly, but when I spent my time off-line last week, I could clearly see the affect it was having on my life. I use the internet as a [...]

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 have decided that my home has four levels of cleanliness. Yes, four. I decided on four when I was thinking this blog up, you see, and so there you have it. Four it is.

On the way home from ‘trick or treating’ at Mommy & Me and a visit to the library today…
Me: “My toes feel like they are going to sleep! Maybe my shoes are too tight.”
Diva: “Well, my toes feel like they are smiling. Yes, I have smiling toes!” (skips along, holding my hand)
Me: [...]

Me: “Super-boy, why don’t you come in the kitchen and finally eat some breakfast since it’s nearly 10:00.”
SB: “NOOOOOOOOO! I don’t want to! It’s not fair!!!” (cries and whines for several minutes about the injustice of breakfast)
Um….what? When did feeding my kid classify as child abuse? *scratches head*
I am [...]
