Book Recommendation

I recently read the book Great Kids Are Homemade by Shelley Wille. She is a mom of six, and knows what she is doing! It is full of creative fun things to do with your kids. From celebrating everyday things to special occasions to plain old silliness, it is all about together time as a family. I hope to incorporate some of her ideas...once I get my act together.

I don't hold out a whole lot of hope for that at the moment. Today started with a call to poison control because the baby ate some of his sister's lotion that was left out where he could reach it. (He is fine.) It got worse from there. :)

Found

I found the stocking stuffers hidden in the baby's closet. They will now be New Year's surprises. Whee!

I found out that watching someone else's child is exhausting - no matter how well-behaved they are.

I found that not doing laundry every day results in two hours of folding once it does get done.

I found that you can never say thank you enough to your mom.

What I've Learned...

Don't hide the stocking stuffers so well that you can't find them on Christmas Eve.
