Better Bedtime SuperNanny Style

Better Bedtime SuperNanny Style

31 August 2009

I love Supernanny. I’ve seen countless episodes. Different families with different problems, except one…bedtime. I cant remember the last time Jo (that’s supernanny) did not have to deal with a problem at bedtime.  I hear so many parents saying “I wish my kids would go to bed early.”  Um, you ARE the parent, right?  I just [...]

Explaining the Absent father

Explaining the Absent father

24 August 2009

My Twin boys will be 4 in less than a month. It is inevitable that they will ask. They will ask the question that haunts me. They will ask about their father. I have made poor choices in my life, and I have finally gotten to a point where I have stopped making excuses. I am finally [...]

Single Moms in the Bible

Single Moms in the Bible

24 August 2009

When I first thought through this topic, I thought I would be writing about single mom’s and how they use the Bible.  But on further contemplation, I believe it’s about single mothers who are written about in the Bible. Who would care about those women from a time long ago?  This [...]

My own Battle with Depression…

21 August 2009

Being a parent is hard.  Being a SINGLE parent is hard.  It gets overwhelming.  Our own needs and feelings get put on the back burner and before we know it we completely and absolutely lose ourself.  I’ve battled with depression and mood disorders since high school.  I’m 30 years old.  Honestly, you name a drug, [...]

Single Mothers and Depression

18 August 2009

Depression.  This is a topic that I can relate myself with, all too well, especially as a single mom.  It doesn’t matter how we arrived at being a single mom, whether widowed, divorced, or single after having a live in partner that resulted in children. We are at a 40% [...]

Food Tips for Kids with Allergies

Food Tips for Kids with Allergies

18 August 2009

Grocery shopping and dinner can be very daunting at times. Is it because my kids are picky or they like to stick more things up their nose than in their mouth? Hmmm, not really. My twin boys are allergic to eggs and peanuts.  I never realized how bad it was or how serious I needed [...]

FUN AND CHEAP mini-adventures

FUN AND CHEAP mini-adventures

11 August 2009

The past couple days haven’t really been that smooth. I got in a fender bender … fully my fault. While making dinner yesterday, I sliced my finger on my newly sharpened knife…to the bone, I might add. The roast ended up being tough, the blueberry pie concoction turned into soup. I can’t get my son Dylan [...]

I remember that first ultrasound. What a sight i must have been, walking into that room, alone, but as confident and cool as ever. After a few minutes, the technician pauses and says “congratulations, you are having twins.” WHAT?! Um, no, please check again. I think I cried a millisecond after she said [...]

The Dreaded Tantrum

The Dreaded Tantrum

27 July 2009

Four years ago when my children were just fetuses in my belly, I witnessed every temper tantrum thrown by toddlers.  They usually occurred right in the middle of stores, kids on the ground stomping their feet, screaming like wild banshies.  The mothers were usually helpless and gave into these wild children.  I bet you at one [...]

Going From Cooking for 7 to Cooking for 1

26 July 2009

What’s so hard about cooking dinner for one?  We all started out our young adult lives cooking for just ourselves when dinner time rolled around.  That is, unless we were fortunate enough to have that few extra dollars allowing us to grab McDonald’s or Wendy’s, or maybe a small pizza from [...]
