Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
I don’t know about you, but getting out the door in the morning for us can go from smooth to hairy in a nanosecond with the opening of a closet door. It seems my daughter always wants to wear the velvet Christmas dress when it’s 95° or a sun dress when it’s winter. It’ much better if the clothing decisions have [...]
If you haven’t noticed, most of the shops have their beach towels on clearance by now. I picked up a couple for $6 each and had them monogrammed for $6 each. So, for just $12 – I have nice Christmas gifts for my kids, nieces and nephews. And getting them early not only lets me [...]
Perhaps you carry a purse filled with mom stuff. I know I do. Let’s put it this way, if I ever get on Let’s Make a Deal, I could win big! From wipes to crayons and matchbox cars to emergency bribery candy — looking for my keys in my bag can be exercise in frustration. [...]
The kids are in bed and a millimeter of sunscreen has been scraped from my body, so I can now sit and reflect on our day at Dollywood’s Splash Country. Reeeewind to prep time at the house: Money’s tight, so we planned to pack drinks and snacks and sandwiches. Technically, you aren’t allowed to bring your own food, but [...]

Do you ever fee like the work you do at home and with your kids is invisible? I do. It’s something I really struggle with. Work is supposed to have achievements, right? Well, what if you can’t see them? I know my kids are happy and thriving. I need to remember to stop and appreciate the [...]
Another thing to add to my ever-expanding new years resolution list is to take more video. Pictures are great, but when my kids are older, I don’t want to look back and be sorry the time passed and I didn’t get it. I totally take for granted the cute things my kids do every day. I [...]
