During our first visit to Cabela’s we let each of the kids pick out one thing that cost $5.00 or less and we bought it for them. Our 7 year old son was very excited to get his first six-in-one tool that included….drum roll please…a knife!
Of course I lectured him about the knife – probably [...]

His First Knife
Trust Your Instinct As A Mother
I knew something was wrong when my 3 year old didn’t want to eat mac & cheese. I didn’t let her eat anything for supper.
I am glad that she waited until we were done eating before losing her lunch. I’m also very glad that she made it to the toilet. Especially glad because my husband [...]
Have You Had Any Contact With The Fresh Air Fund?
I remember when I was little and I heard about Fresh Air children at Vacation Bible School. I didn’t really understand it. Why would kids leave their family and home for the summer? I’d never been to a big city. I played barefoot outside for most of my summer, exploring the creek, playing on the [...]
Who Will Let The Dog Out?
We have a crate for our puppy and it certainly gives me peace of mind when we are away from home. The peace, however, stops when we are driving in the driveway as all three children start asking to be the one to let Thunder out. Actually, I had to work on them only starting [...]

Strong and Happy Kids Drawing
5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a kid’s drawing contest for Yoplait yogurt. I can only submit one drawing and I had no idea which child’s drawing to use so I gave them a poster board and let them all draw.
O Come Little Children
I’m so proud of my munchkins that I’m breaking my no face online rule. I’m figuring that you’d never recognize them in real life because I had them all cleaned, combed, and dressed up for this.
We practiced for less than 2 weeks, and they sang for the Christmas Candlelight service at our church on December [...]
Turn Off The Music!
Does anyone else think that the music in the background of electronic games is annoying? I’ve heard that if you are playing you don’t notice the music, but that’s not true for me. I go to options and turn off the music on the rare occasions I play a game.
What brought this on? We gave [...]
Learning The Rules of the Road
Last week as I was driving the kids home from Grandma’s my almost seven year old was reading every sign we passed – and I do mean every sign.
Then I heard, “Do…not…pass. Mommy! Mommy! You’re going to pass it!”
I hope I didn’t hurt his feelings by laughing out loud.
Bubbles – Great For Kids And Dogs
I love to hear my children giggle. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone laughed as much as children do? I also love to wear out the dog. All I needed to accomplish both was some bubbles. In the embedded video I show you what happened.
It was fun to just stand, look, listen, [...]
