Just as we need to fill our gas tanks often we need to fill our love tanks often as well. I first heard of this analogy in the book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I absolutely love this analogy, it is simple and makes so much sense! Let me share with you and example. Last week my son was giving me a hard time the whole day, I was super exasperated with him and quickly started hating that is was Summer break. Lo…
Guess what? I’m leading a Moms in Business Group over at the Savvy Source! I’m so excited to finally have a platform to discuss business one and one with you all. (or anyone who will listen) It’s easy and painless to join the group HERE. We’ll be discussing marketing, social media building, working from home, working outside the home, etc. Everyone is welcome, not just parents, so pass the word on! If you haven’t started your biz yet, but need ideas, this would be great…
1. My sanity. 2. Nice furniture. 3. A fear of bodily fluids and excrements. Even puke doesn’t bother me anymore. 4. 8 hours of sleep. 5. A smaller butt. 6. A clue. I found out fast that I didn’t really have one at all. 7. Free time. 8. A laundry room without piles of dirty clothes. 9. Quiet dinners out at restaurants that don’t serve meals that come with toys. 10. An empty place in my heart only they could fill.
Mom Spark has been, once again, nominated for the Divine Caroline’s “Love This Site” Parenting Award! We sadly didn’t win last year, but we can do it this year! I truly feel honored and blessed that someone took the time to nominate us. It is easy to vote, and you only need to vote once. If you registered with Divine Caroline last year, you won’t need to do it again. If you haven’t registered yet, it’s super quick and they won’t send you any spam…
I’m speaking of children. How do you know when enough is enough? Part of my dilemma is that I have two boys. I always have that thought of a little girl in the back of my mind, though, I surely feel busy, and often overwhelmed, with two boys. Having a girl isn’t really a basis for having another child, AND, there is obviously no guarantee of one. (not that I wouldn’t love another boy in the house!) Plus, do I really want to go through…
As far as I am concerned, moms are multi-taking superheroes. We can complete laundry, work obligations, appointments, and diaper changes at the speed of light, and actually seem happy about it. It may seem as if we can do it all, but, alas, we cannot, and this I have learned. I entered the blogging world last summer with so much excitement and drive that I felt nothing could stop me, but something immediately did-my family. I quickly learned that you cannot manage everything, especially things…
So if you haven’t watched the Monday night “announcement” on Jon & Kate Plus Eight, do not continue reading… Again, why do I care? I just finished watching the episode and it resulted in the obvious divorce prediction from most of the media, and you, who left comments. I cannot say that I was surprised, but yet, I sorta was at the same time. I was mostly taken aback at Jon’s demeanor and some of the things he said about it being a “kinda exciting,…
