Your child's growing up years are the most important years of his life. Whatever children learn at this stage of their life stays with them throughout their life. The kind of early experiences a child goes through decides the kind of person he or she will grow up to become. The adventurous outdoors is one such learning avenue for kids and the games that they play not only entertain them but also … [Read more...]

I am not a neat freak by any means for example I thrive on last minute deadlines and the random stacks of paper and books surrounding my laptop on my desk. It is also my twisted way of organizing because I can tell you exactly which stack has my electricity bill stuffed in it or the 1099s I need to file my taxes. Someone else will not know but I know. And since it is my space that is all that … [Read more...]

The Summer of 2009 was probably the hardest summer I have ever lived. I was going through a divorce, I was figuring out what to do with two little boys on my own and finding my place with my family that I hadn't talked to in three years. It was hard but I made it through and came out a stronger person than I was before. During that time I blogged a lot at Life with Sharon , connected with … [Read more...]

That is a lot of scarf making going on. Anyway here is the one that I made Wes and he absolutely loves it and so does the kitty. So much so that he curled up in and slept after I got this picture of him in … [Read more...]

I am so learning to knit!

Well on a knitting board because with actual needles I think I might be a little dangerous. So it may be considered light weight knitting but it is still crazy fun. So far I have made a scarf and while it is not perfect and probably looks like something a toddler would do. I am exaggerating some but I have already started a second scarf for my son and it is going a lot better since I have gotten … [Read more...]

So this week I wrote about my Monday morning from hell and how during it all my oldest son was sick. Well that morning when we nearly to school my oldest started saying he was sick and I took him to my mother's house to go to the restroom while we went ahead to take the youngest to school. Well throughout the day he seemed somewhat sick but didn't have anymore bouts of diarrhea. We did baby him … [Read more...]
I vote for no more Mondays!
January 9, 2012 by 2 Comments
I think it is time we all start a petition to vote Mondays out and erase them and just forget about them altogether. Because today has not been the best Monday. And while I know it could have been worse and there are people who have it worse, it was just a rotten day all around. I will just make a list of everything that happened before 9 a.m. that just made it suck: We woke up with no … [Read more...]
