The Mother-Son Date Nights

Last updated on: August 23, 2012 at 9:58 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

I wrote a post the other week about a scenario in our family where my oldest child, Matthew, broke down into tears one day because he was feeling more criticism than love from me. Poor guy. He needed a few mama hugs and then some… I admit, it is easier to come down hard on him because he is my natural-born leader. His example sets the tone for our family. He is my go-to guy for help. He paves the way for... Read more

Dying To Self, Yet Again

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 7:13 am By Bethany "B-mama"

Growing up, I would watch my grandmother closely. She would stand in her kitchen with her hand on her hip and look straight in the mirror at herself (she had a large mirror in her kitchen!) and say with determination, “I tell you, me…” Then she would launch into some issue she had with something or someone, some beef she needed to get off her chest. Inevitably she would start to laugh because everything my nana did always ended with... Read more

When I’m gone…

Last updated on: August 21, 2012 at 10:31 am By Mary Alice

Here is an interesting test of parenting: My daughter would like me to learn to do this with her. This involves her dropping her school work to practice it, and my dropping, well, everything else. But it is so, so cool. And also, true to the lyrics, I know that one day my daughter will have a ticket for the long way round, and I am going to miss her when she’s gone. She won’t always want me to do... Read more

Morning Routines

Last updated on: August 21, 2012 at 7:50 am By Mary Alice

As we begin to think about school routines, I really like this post about a morning routine — note that it happens AFTER breakfast. That would be a huge help for us, making it more likely that we can do our family breakfast and then have a good start to the day. It is always a tough thing to have the kids actually dressed and pressed in time to eat before Dad has to leave. Also, checklists will go a... Read more

An African Woman’s Plea to Melinda Gates

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 1:04 pm By Katrina

Dear friends ~ I found this article to be both enlightening and touching, and wanted to share it with all of you. The article details a Nigerian woman’s reaction to Melinda Gates’ recent announcement that her foundation would be allocating $4.6 billion dollars to providing contraceptives in poor countries. If Bill and Melinda Gates were to spend some time talking with the women of Africa, they might find that that these funds are quite unwelcome. Unlike some Western societies, which... Read more

The View From Where I Sit

Picture perfect?

Last updated on: August 15, 2012 at 11:02 am By texasmommy

I had one of those blissful moments on Monday when all the pieces seemed to fall into place and I felt “successful”. I had to have stitches from a recent surgery removed and my sitter was not available and my mother-in-law is out of town. So I took my baby, 4, 5, and 6 year old with me. I couldn’t hold the baby when they took out the stitches, so my 5 year old sat on the floor and... Read more

Homemade Play-Dough

Last updated on: August 10, 2012 at 3:14 pm By Katrina

As a mom, I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Play-Doh. I love that it keeps the kids occupied for long periods of time and allows them to be creative, but I hate picking little pieces of stickiness out of the carpet when they’re done! Since finding this recipe for homemade Play-Dough, I am much more of a fan than I used to be. The consistency is more elastic and less likely to dry out, so the ball stays together... Read more
