Are YOU a good parent?
January 16, 2009 1 Comment
Redsy at Shine has a beautiful post that made my day! I don't know about you, but I often wonder if I'm a good parent. My kids eat PB&J more days a week than they should. I spend oodles of time on the computer. They usually have clean clothes, but sometimes it takes some dryer diving. Does that make me a bad parent? Read on... 10 reasons you're a better parent than you think you are by … [Read more...]

My girls are 2 and 4 years old now, but I remember the baby daze days. The Joys! The sorrows. The frustrations! Keeping tiny socks and shoes on those sweet little toes was a frustration. On the grand scale of things, not huge. However, if I can take away one little frustration from a new mom, that helps, right? Robeez are wonderful leather shoes that actually stay on your baby's feet! Novel … [Read more...]

January 15, 2009 Leave a Comment
Over at MomFuse, Dore posted a great review on the Scandle. Hmmm...Scandle? The name is very intruiging, no? Do you like candles? Do you like massages? They go together like chocolate and peanut butter, no? (I've decided to add no? to most of my sentences today. Yes, I'm driving Mr. Mouthy nuts!) Scandle is a candle that melts into a body lotion or massage oil. You can use it as, well, a body … [Read more...]
Choice Management?
January 14, 2009 Leave a Comment
I was checking out Tip Junkie this morning, where I read a fantastic guest post by Debbie at Virtually Organized. She wrote about "Choice Management." The basic idea was that time management is really Choice Management. How do YOU choose to spend your time? I obviously love computer time...and lots of it. Is that better or worse than, say, knitting for hours? Not really, it's all about … [Read more...]

When I was nursing my sweet little ones, I felt somewhat self-conscience with my "new belly." You know, stretch marks, saggy let-all-the-air out balloon-type look. **If you are a first time mom, don't worry. I'm sure your stomach will spring right back to normal in no time.** My favorite find was the GlamourMom nursing bra. It's a tank top with with full coverage of the belly area. You can … [Read more...]

My Word for 2009-THRIVE
January 8, 2009 2 Comments
Over at Tip Junkie, Laurie is hosting a contest that really intrigued me. So for today's Talk To Me Tuesday I'd like to challenge you to pick a word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2009? I had been sort of processing it in the back of my mind for the last few days. I came up with "consistency," which seems to be the root of all my problems...acne=inconsistent face washing, sometimes … [Read more...]
