Helping your child get her shoes on the right feet

January 19, 2010

Struggling with helping your child understand which shoe goes on which foot? I’ve got tool from the Toolbox for you!
R’s and L’s won’t help if your child doesn’t know her letters, but kissing smiley faces will.
Grab a pen and drew smiley faces on the inside rim of your child’s shoes at the same spot.

Will you help me help Haiti and do some helping yourself?

January 14, 2010

Yesterday I took my Danish daughter to the airport so she could go on a quick vacation. After leaving her gate, my younger daughter and I saw some adorable doggies accompanied by some women. We walked over and asked if we could meet and pet the dogs.

My daughter didn’t realize that she was meeting four-legged [...]

Hot rollers are working for me!

December 16, 2009

Lately I have been writing a LOT about reading the Bible… especially reading it in 90 days along with me beginning January1, but for now I have to set that aside and share something else with you, dear readers.
I’m all about being real and, well, the Bible may be as real as you can get, [...]

Transporting birthday goodies

September 8, 2009

We hosted my son’s last birthday party at a birthday party venue.
Knowing that I would have to get to transport gifts home of different shapes and sizes, I carried a large plastic bin to the party for carrying most of the gifts home.
In taking it to the party, I filled it with consumables: plates, napkins, [...]

Twitter: Why I love it and how to get started

May 12, 2009

There are a lot of people talking about Twitter right now. I can’t tell you why everyone else loves it, but I can share why I’m glad to have joined in all fun.
In a nutshell (or a Twitter-sized, 140-characters-or-less post):
I like Twitter’s short, sweet flow of information. And the way it allows me to choose [...]

Wisdom of mentor moms shared!

March 26, 2009

This morning I, and many other moms at the church I attend, was blessed by the wisdom of some more experienced mentor moms. These women have served our Mom to Mom Bible study in so many ways and this morning they opened their hearts to us and shared some of their Christian parenting insight.
Now I’m [...]

A sticky fishy transformation

March 19, 2009

This past weekend I stuck a bunch of really big fish decals on my son’s walls in hopes of making it look a bit more aquatic and fun.

I am pretty excited as to how it turned out. Fortunately, he is, too.
I ordered the decals (stickers? home accents?) through an Uppercase Living party. I didn’t attend [...]

High heel happiness

February 17, 2009

Not too long ago I wrote about the benefits of wearing high heels when I go out with my husband. What I didn’t write about was the agony of wearing them, too.
Up until last Saturday I tried the gel-like inserts, smiled and hoped for the best. And often winced in pain by the end of [...]

A few goals for 2009

January 2, 2009

As promised, here is a second pass at my goals for 2009:
1.  Return to my Weight Watchers goal weight by Valentine’s Day. (6 weeks) Depending on what time and what day I weigh myself, this could be 5 to 9 pounds.
How am I gonna do it?
1.      Journal every bite I eat
2.      Attend at least 3 [...]

I hope to achive my 2009 goals.. Once I set them!

December 30, 2008

Here we are, on the brink of 2009, and if you’re like me, on the brink of some new goal-setting/new year’s resolution making. I’m still playing with my goals for the year… I want to make good ones that I can really achieve.
I am a miserable birthday card sender. (And, on that note, I’m miserable [...]
