Most Creative Mom of the Day Award

-
And the most creative Mom of the Day Award goes to the Mom of two young boys (4ish and 6ish) at the pizza parlor.

There was a going away party going on for a woman at a nearby pizza parlor and one of the guests brought her two active boys with her.  This was definitely ok especially considering that the party was being help at a pizza parlor.  But when the pizza was slow in coming out of the kitchen the boys got antsy (as boys do).  They began running all over the pizza parlor and embarrassing their mother.  The other guests didn't seem to mind because the boys were active but not rude.  But the Mom was desparate to get her boys to settle down.

She didn't have any of their toys with her so she had to improvise.  Thinking quickly, she took a couple of the paper placemats from the table and she found a free ads newspaper near the door of the pizza place.  In the newspaper she found a couple of pictures of cars that were for sale and so she ripped out the pictures of the cars and with the paper placemats she drew roads.  She sat the boys down at the table and gave them their new cities and cars and they sat there, playing quietly together, with their new toys.

Way to go Mom!

Holiday Season

-
 We're back. But more on that later! This year's holiday season is upon us and with everything going on in the world we have to get a little more creative to bring the sparkle for our little ones. This year is a great year to get back to making holiday chains out of recycled paper and a little scotch tape and spending more time snuggling and less time stressing. With holiday budgets having to be watched a little more closely every penny counts when making your holiday purchasing decisions. One of my favorite holiday traditions is the advent calendar . The only reason I am bringing this one up so early - it's not even Thanksgiving yet! - is it's important to start your Advent calendar on the first day of December. That means a little planning ahead. The advent calendar gives our family a chance to all come together and at least once a day talk about the real meaning of the season and at the same time getting a little surprise each and every day. One of our family's f

Guest Post by:  Jana Free Moms want the best for their kids. They want their children to feel good and to be  happy. They want them with smiles on their faces and joy in their heart. As a mom, do you often wonder if there is some kind of magic object that you  can pull out of a hat, or a magic spell you could cast, to create this perfect  scenario? I’m pretty sure there’s no object or spell, but I do know that a healthy  environment is like a magic wand that can keep kids’ eyes bright and their bodies  full of good energy.

We make sure that each aspect  of our kids’ lives is as free from toxins as we can get it. Which means we look at  the food we eat as well as the attitude we keep. The following are 5 tips for creating a healthy environment for kids. 1. Model Good Food Choices Children usually eat what they’re served and what they see others eating. As

Summer Book Club for all ages

It almost seems incredible but I have heard people say to me "I just don't have time to read". That is the precise reason a person must read! And for those of you who have caught yourself saying that then make your first book one on time management. YES! We do have time to read. When our kids are very little we must read to them. The more we read to them the more they will grow up loving books. Kids love books that they can grab ahold of and turn the pages and look at the silly pictures even before they have a sense that there are words on those pages. But the more we read to them the more they figure it out. And when you have little kids like this in your house it might seem like you don't have time to read but you don't always have to read baby books to them. There was a great scene in the movie Three Men and a Baby where Tom Selleck's character was reading Sports Illustrated or some other grownup magazine to the baby. It didn't matter what th
