Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
So, it’s been rainy and cold (well, colder) so our family had to find some indoors fun this weekend, which happened to coincide with my husband’s birthday. My daughter wanted to pick a gift for him and this is what she chose: Pop Goes Froggio was her choice because she wanted to give him something [...]
When we had twins last year, we instantly became a “large” family. When you double the number of your kids in one day, that happens. So, I’m learning a lot about keeping kids of different ages actively involved in play together, and I’m sharing some of those ideas over at Let’s Play this month. You [...]
Saturday, we woke up EARLY, loaded ALL the kids in the car and headed to Calera, AL for Day Out with Thomas 2013 at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum. And, y’all, I’m so glad we did! The kids loved it! Even my oldest daughter, who had told me that she didn’t really want to [...]
That seems to be my theme these days. With a three-year old and two almost toddling babes, things are getting crazy around here. And some days, just getting everyone loaded in the car counts as success, even when I forget where we were going in the first place. So, I’ve kind of had to lower [...]
Today Dr. Seuss is known and honored worldwide though he died in 1991. Reading is celebrated all across America on the March 2nd birthday of Ted Geisel! What a legacy. Dr. Seuss was actually the middle name of Theodor Seuss Geisel! Dr. Seuss NOW Every Spring all across the United States a promotion [...]
This year, I decided that the kids would have more of a hand in Christmas happies for people like teachers and family friends….literally. They began by making cinnamon ornaments for people at a local nursing home. More than once I wondered if the glitter was a good idea, but the kids had a blast! And, [...]
It’s August, and soon enough, the cries of “I’m bored!” will be silenced, and “I’m tired!” will probably take their place. (Seriously, how much can we try to squeeze into any given school week? We’re trimming our schedules down this year, and hopefully, everyone will benefit.) Still, until my daughter starts school, the complaint of [...]
Y’all, I meant to write this post days and days ago. Because you guys like to plan ahead, right? Well, if your weekend isn’t already all booked up, here’s a little something you need to squeeze in! The LEGO DUPLO Read! Play! Build! national tour will be at the MS Children’s Museum on Saturday and [...]
Our grandson is here, and we always have Tea Time on the porch. Today, here’s a great new idea for blowing bubbles that works really well: The “Miracle Bubbles Spill Stopper” is actually a dollar at Dollar General. There’s a spill stopper cap and a wand hanger! Very creative. I’ve been trying all types of [...]
Okay, so I know how much my boys LOVE Thomas the Tank Engine…so much that that is the only birthday cake I’ve made and it’s still being requested, so much that it is the only toy aisle we meander through, and so much that my 20 month old’s first clear phrase may have been ‘Day [...]
