Often we doubt how we might be doing as a parent. I find myself, that I use trial and error on many of the events that come my way. The boys tend to throw me curve balls, and I often feel like I strike out. There’s definitely not an adequate playbook out there.
Because of all [...]

Mean Mommy Chronicles: Leverage
Bert recently received a Nintendo DS lite for his 5th birthday. At first I was really hesitant because he’s 5, and that’s an expensive toy. I tried to convince my husband that it was a bad idea. Bert got a taste of the Nintendo DS at our workout facility. It seems that all the boys [...]

My Little Helper

My Little Tacos
Every night, when I put my boys to sleep, I sing them a silly song.
“Your my Taco, Your my Taco
T-A-C-O
Your my Taco,
I put cheese on you
and then I take a big bite
da-da-da!”
They love it! When I tuck them in, I ask them what they want to be (Taco, enchilada, burrito, etc)…and what they want [...]

Grounded
Learning the concept of what a consequence is, can be a daunting task for a 4 year old. Let’s face it…I’ve taught many high school kids who didn’t seem to want to understand what a consequence was. Half the battle is defining the word, and the other half is getting them to think ahead and [...]

Where Have I Been?
As I last wrote, I have been busy designing my website (with help—I’m not that good) for my new online tutoring company.
I have mulled over whether or not to put my website on here, as this is kind of my personal webpage. I then thought about the 17,000 hits I have had in the past [...]

Whew!
They ganged up on me today. Those rats.
Gosh, I’m sure glad they are both in bed now.
We grocery shopped, we had a fit in the car on the way home, we ate, they napped, we had time out, I made cookies, we had time out, we painted, we had time out, I made dinner, [...]
