Crazy, crazy times

Monday, October 12th, 2009

My life has been nothing but a whirlwind lately. I got to chaperone Madison’s field trip on Friday to the pumpkin farm. Easy peasy, right? Well, it ended up being around 40 degrees and pouring, so not so much fun. The kids had a blast. Mommy got chilled. We did get a free pumpkin, and we get to take the wristbands and go back for free! All in all, not too much of a loss.

I’ve been working on my Christmas gift guide over at Lisa Reviews. I did around 36 posts yesterday, so be ready for that to publish on November 1st. It’s the must haves for Christmas (and yes I did start shopping over the winter).

Lastly, that brings us to last night. Will got up every 2 hrs all night long screaming. His nose didn’t start running till this morning, so we think he’s got a cold. I’m reading about swine flu and am hoping praying that this isn’t that.  Last time he had a cold, he had a seizure, so we are all just keeping our fingers crossed here.  Of course, we have weekend plans, so I am hoping he’s better by then and nobody else gets sick.

Pedestrian Safety

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

This is the start of a series I am going to do on child safety. This is the story of Ben Jablonski, who was struck by a car in a school zone, and his mother’s advice to other parents on how to prevent similar accidents. Don’t let this happen to your family.

He’s quite the big boy now :)

Helping a fellow blogger out . . .

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It’s been a rough couple of weeks out on mommy front on the internet.  We’ve had two deaths of little ones that were taken way too soon.  I was amazed at the amount of support that was given to both mommies, and I truly wish there was something I could do to make it right.  I hate that helpless feeling.

That’s why when I came across Loretta’s post I knew I had to spring into action.  See, her family has had a rough year.  Her husband ended up off work and in the hospital due to a crazy infection.  However, through it all, she’s never asked for anything.  Even now when her son’s bike was stolen over Easter weekend.  Yes, stolen.  Now, she won’t ask for anything, but I will for her.   I’ve linked to her post and if you notice at the end of it there is a little donation for buying her a movie.  I would love to raise enough money for her to get another bike for her son.  If you’ve got a little extra this month, please pass it forward and make her day.

Thanks!

What do you want for Mother’s Day?

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Any plans set for Mother’s Day yet?  I think the only thing we are doing is sitting at home and heading over to my mother in laws.  My husband doesn’t plan much.  I personally would love a maid to come over and clean or even just somebody to come and help me organize.  Since I am pretty sure that I am getting neither of those, I would definitely settle for some mothers day flowers. I always like flowers. I personally am a rose fan, but any flowers would do (hint, hint Bill if you are reading this — you could even contact 1800flowers and not have to even pick them up for me).  I already know he’ll have the kids make me a card, so he doesn’t have to buy one.  What has been your best Mother’s Day gift?
