Energizer Bunnies' Mommy Reports
Family, Faith and Fabulous Finds
Caterpillars! The Background It's been over two years since Bunny girl has been begging for us to get her a pet. A dog, to be precise. But with a carpeted floor and my hands full as it is, Hubby and I have told her she needs to wait till she turns 8 before we can actually consider the request. In the meanwhile, she has to prove she's capable of being responsible and maybe...just maybe we'd seriously … [Read more...]
No parent can say they're fans of melt-downs. And no, I do not have the solution to raising a tantrum-free child, but I do have a few tactics that I use with my kids to nip those mini-explosions in the bud. I've shared this over on the Gummy Lump blog... How to Stop a Temper Tantrum in its Tracks I grew up in a home where temper tantrums were not tolerated. My Dad was a strict disciplinarian and if I stepped … [Read more...]
Sometime last week, Hubs said he needed to run down to the store to pick up a few odds and ends. My 2 1/2 year old said he wanted to go with Dada and ran off to find his shoes. When he returned I asked him who would stay with Mama and mentioned that I may get scared being all alone. Without a second thought, pat came his reply-"If you get scared just say Do not be afraid, Jesus is with me!" and then off he … [Read more...]
Today electronic learning games are the rage in most homes. The first thing most kids do when they're bored, is pick up their little electronic thing-a-ma-jigs to play games. While these do sharpen learning skills, I still believe most kids are missing out on good, solid, childhood fun when they remain glued onto their little devices. I encourage you to take up this challenge... Hide all the electronic games for a … [Read more...]
It's no secret I love photographing animals. My Wordless Wednesday posts are testimonial to that! So when I sat down to think of a post to write on the YesVideo blog, I couldn't help but do one on photographing animals... While photographing my children is high on my list of favorite photography subjects, animals are a close second. (This includes our feathered friends too.) My husband groans each … [Read more...]
When Bunny girl came home with a note saying the school was celebrating Whoville hairdo day the following week, we were excited. Thanks to Pinterest I found the inspiration I needed. Choices were narrowed down to this cute, cup in the hair, hairdo Source: princesshairstyles.com via AJ on … [Read more...]
When my daughter was very young, Hubs had a job assignment that kept him away from enjoying a good 10 months of her growing years. For a first time parent...or really for any parent...a long separation from your child is always hard. To help bridge the distance woes I'd make videos and take gazillion photographs of our daughter practically every day and save them onto CDs, that were then sent out to him every … [Read more...]
As we neared Hubby's 40th birthday, I scoured through Pinterest hoping to find some inspiration for a unique birthday gift the kids could make. I found a bunch of different things but nothing "one of a kind" that could be slotted under the "I will never forget this gift ever" category. So we decided to put together a bunch of different ideas and finally came up with the most perfect gift, for really any occasion- a milestone … [Read more...]
Bringing home Bunny Boo, as a newborn, was challenging. Now I have to admit I'm not a clean freak or one of those sterilize, clean, wipe down the area thrice a day kind of Mommies. I am a careful Mommy but not an obsessively protective one. Bringing Bunny girl home from the hospital was easier as we just had Hubby and self at home. With Bunny Boo, though, we have had to be a little more careful as big sister Bunny girl was an eager … [Read more...]
This is not a pretty sight! Two little people in our home (I'm not mentioning names here!) are to blame!! It has been a while now and that hole caused during a simple game of tag, has been gnawing the life out of me. I've honestly thought I'd have to live with this for a good long while, till I stumbled upon a video on how to repair walls. So guess what Hubs and I … [Read more...]
This is the second year of our family's "Baking Cookies" Christmas tradition and this year I promised to focus on making memories and bask in the sound of excited, little giggles over perfection! It wasn't easy but I knew I didn't want cookie making with my kids to have to be a stress-filled chore. I admit, I did whisper a prayer to let go of my Mommy perfect benchmarks and allow the joy of childhood sweep me into the … [Read more...]
