Beat The Winter Time Blues
Vitamin D!!! We all need it but New England has been so cold this year. It’s bone chilling and starting to give my family the winter time blues. I combat this with food and winter clothes. I do know lack of vitamin d can effect moods. So in replacement of the lack of exposure to […]
It’s ALL About the Magic of the Holiday’s
There is nothing better than a child’s reaction to something they cannot understand, magic. Every year I try to create another magical experience with Santa Clause. Of course, it all starts just after Thanksgiving with the elf on the shelf. I love the idea of the Elf on the Shelf because it adds to the […]
Life Takes us on a journey
I want to first apologize for taking a break from blogging. The fall to winter has taken a toll on my family. Ahh, how life takes us on a journey. My priority was taking care of the health of my children, but I am excited to say I believe we are at the end of […]
Car Seat Tangled Hair
With three children, every morning is a challenge with timing. Something is bound to rear its ugly head (no pun intended). Not only is it hard enough to get everyone up dressed and out the door, then you finally do and the car ride happens. Car seat tangled hair! Oh yes, I said it. Car […]
Let’s Decorate and Get this Party Started
Fall is always a busy time for decorating. Normally, I do seasonal decorations but as my children get older I am changing my ways. Now, I decorate for the holiday. I want them to enjoy each holiday and really have fun with it. I did not think it would be this fun. After picking up […]
Field trip to the Orchard
As a mom of 3, I never feel like I give enough individualized attention. I try to schedule time for each child but something always comes up. That is why when my preschooler had a field trip to the orchard I hopped on the opportunity. Not only did this field trip give us an opportunity […]
Blessings All Around
I am blessed to see the beauty in what people do everyday. I know we all have trying days where it is difficult to see any beauty but there are blessing’s all around. Not only are we blessed with our children but we are blessed to witness others doing good for each other. We pass […]
Potty Training Success
Keep trying and you can achieve potty training success. Challenges are never easy but when we persevere we can achieve potty training success. It wasn’t until many battles and many attempted failures from bribery to explaining until I was blue in the face that it struck me as setting a day and never looking back. […]
Traveling with Children Gets Easier
Having Handy Helpers Traveling with children under age 5 gets easier. My oldest, at 4.5 years old, is so helpful and the best part is he enjoys helping out. My middle child, at 3 years of age, is also the same way. Of course, my 18 month old just plain enjoys the interaction between her […]
Peeing Outside
Unfortunately, I allowed my oldest to pee outside. Now it is a game. My middle son watches him and now does it as well. Although peeing outside is easy when you have 3 children going in separate directions, it has it’s drawbacks. For example, when preschool decides to take the children outside and your child […]
