Parenting is HARD, y'all. It's HARD. And frustrating, and aggravating, and yet so rewarding and wonderful.
This journal is a fun way to help sort out all of those emotions and help figure out what's working and what's not working.
Y'all probably know by now that we live in Texas. What you may not know is that I didn't grow up here. In fact, I spent the first 24 years of my life as a Northerner! One of the things I love the most about living in the South is the FOOD! Oh, there's some AMAZING food down here...
Okay, so it may still be in the 90s here in South Texas, but the calendar says it's autumn. I'm SOOOO ready for cooler temperatures. One of the ways I'm making my own autumn is with Simply Earth's October Recipe Box!
Isn't adulting fun? Getting older, getting achy? And since I'm on other medications, I can't take most pain killers, including Tylenol and ibuprofen. A brand new essential oil to me is Cajeput. I discovered it in this month's Simply Earth Essential Oil Box
When you're a busy Mama, or really, just a busy grown up, you'll take whatever shortcuts you can get. And, if your mornings are anything like ours, anything that helps get y'all out the door in the morning is a gamechanger. So, I was excited to try this portable blender.
I am tired of holding it together, y’all. I am tired of keeping the faith and being strong. I don’t feel like I can do it anymore.
ALL. THE. TOYS. My kids have SO MANY TOYS, it's almost embarrassing! I have not done a good job of going through all of them and donating or giving away the toys the kids have outgrown or don't play with anymore, but I DID get a new toy box!
It's BACK TO SCHOOL TIME, and that means SCHOOL LUNCHES! We have a decent enough school cafeteria menu, and my kids are generally happy enough to eat there, but there's a meal about once a week that they won't eat... meaning Mama has to make lunch! These Bento Boxes make packing lunches pretty darn easy!
It's that time of the week for a Quickie Question, where I ask y'all a simple question to get to know y'all in the comments!
We were given a bunch of bread and I had a ton of tomatoes that were about to go bad, so I decided to make some bruschetta! It turned out sooooo good and even the kids ate it!
Playdoh and Dinosaurs... two of Cocoa Puff's favorite things! And guess what... now there's a Dinosaur Play Doh set!
Over the years, with every internet modem/router we’ve had, we’ve found that the internet connection speed eventually slows and then connections drop. Videos start buffering. Devices fail to connect to the wifi. “Go reset the router!” is heard around the house. NetReset can actually do this for you!
Our Vacation Bible School theme this year was The Incredible Race. I was the leader of the 3-4 year olds, so I decided to turn our room into one giant airport. The first thing I did was make a giant airplane prop for them to play in and especially to take photos in. It took me about a whole day to make, but it was totally, absolutely worth it! It was about 11 feet long and about 5 feet high.
Fortunately, I have kids who are willing to drink water. We always try to remember to bring a water bottle with us wherever we go. One of the easiest ways to keep drinking water is with a filtered water bottle, and now Brita has some in kid-friendly colors, patterns, and sizes.
Welcome to another Wishlist Wednesday, where I find something on Amazon that we just have to have! This week is a pick from Cocoa Puff regarding his latest obsession: Spider-Man!
Mama Writes Reviews is a website dedicated to reviews, tutorials, science fiction, craft projects, weather, special education, aspergers, and everyday life as a stay at home mama of two little boys.
This website is for product reviews for baby, kid, parenting, technology, fitness, and more things! There are also weird, random items, wishlist Wednesday items, craft projects, tutorials, parenting ideas, and just your everyday parenting shenanigans! I also like to ask lots of questions to get y'all talking in the comments.
