The Berenstain Bears continue to be a favorite of mine. I have reviewed several in the past and have five more new ones to bring to you in the next few weeks. The bubbly yet silly actions from the family of bears always leaves me - and our kiddos - with a smile on our faces. The Berenstain Bears Hurry to Help is ...

“The Best of the Best” Gift Ideas
I realize that so many of you - like me - are stay-at-home moms. Several of you work at day-cares or preschools making way below what you deserve. Because of this, money may not be trickling like a stream in your home let alone flowing like the Mississippi river. This can make Christmas gift giving a little ...
What To Do With All This Candy
All of this candy!!!! The do-no-waste-anything inside of me won't let me throw it away but seriously? I don't want my kids eating all of it and everyone knows that I don't need it!! So, what do we do with it? I found this idea that I thought was perfect and wanted to pass it along. Fill a jar with all of the candy. Label the jar with the ...
Practice Makes Perfect?
Little Man struggles to get into his car seat. Oh, it's not because he can't. It is because he gets distracted from all of the buttons, gadgets, insects, items on the floor - basically, you name it - on the way to his seat. (Remember my posts about Spirited Children?") So a few mornings ago, we practiced getting in and ...
Review: Unlocked
If you are a Karen Kingsbury fan, you have been anticipating her brand new book Unlocked. She even had an excerpt of it in her latest Baxter Family series. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to review it! But, here I sit unsure of what to write. To be honest, about half way through a typical review book, I am already starting to outline ...
Recipe: Breakfast Burritos
Since we have to leave at 7:10 am to get Bubs to school on time, I am always looking for easy breakfast ideas to have in the freezer. I was reminded of the breakfast burritos. This past weekend, we mixed up several batches of these babies to put in our freezer. This recipe comes from a combination of my aunt, a church ...
God’s Rainbow
Today has been an emotional day. Nothing has happened really out of the ordinary. Just filled with various emotions. As I have blogged before, this has not been an easy pregnancy. But as I come to the end, the fatigue, questions, and unknown can really get to a person. While studying Isaiah, I realize that the fears that I have are not from ...
A Parenting Problem or a Child Problem
During one of my last sleepless, prego nights, an aha moment came to me. Is this current problem a parenting problem or a child problem? My question stemmed from a couple of issues that we are facing at our home. Some of them deal with all of our children while others are child specific. During my time of ...
Stopping a Catastrophe Before it Starts
The biggest secret for raising a child with Sensory Processing Disorder and some Spirited Children is to stop a catastrophe before it starts. The title makes it sound simple doesn't it? But, I believe this is the best way to help your child succeed. Children with sensory issues typically have random meltdowns or lose control due to over ...
Sin is Not Cute
I looked out my kitchen window the other day to see Little Man doing something that he isn't supposed to do. I stepped outside and told him to come here, which he disobeyed. Daddy took over for me at that point. From the kitchen window again, I saw a crying little 2-year-old trying to reason with his Daddy about why he shouldn't be in trouble. ...
