A Canine with Gourmet Tastes

Dog with child- Photo Copyright: Ennergizer Bunnies' Mommy Reports

  Our sweet Lab back at home was such a darling. She was never picky when it came to food and would eat anything served in her bowl. She did have a preference for all things meaty but would gobble her food up without a protest if meat chunks were missing.     A good friend's dog , on the other hand, was anything but accommodating. She was treated like the queen of the house and had her owners tied around … [Read more...]

My little man’s travel bucket list…

My little man's travel bucket list...Energizer Bunnies' Mommy Reports

  Over the weekend while watching a program on TBN, a clip from a tour of Israel came up. Now Israel is on my list of must-visit places since forever and yes, I believe it is the number one place on my travel bucket list quickly followed by Africa.     I know Hubs has Israel on his travel bucket list but was curious to see what other places intrigued him. Without any hesitation, he added Africa and Columbia to … [Read more...]

Shhhh… Mama Confesses!

Shhhh Mama Confesses- Copyright Energizer Bunnies' Mommy Reports

  As a Mom I confess there are a few things I am guilty of.     1. I sneak veggies into my kids food. Yes I admit I even hide spinach in their brownies!     2.  I play "fun"  games that secretly teach them new skills!   3.  Pretend play is huge in our home. It helps get a few chopping chores done in the kitchen too! (Wink!!) 4. I disguise things around our home that aren't … [Read more...]

Fashionably old fashioned!

  My mother and sister constantly rib me about my "mouse-y" wardrobe that faints at the sight of any color that's bold and out there! It's true I prefer blacks and deep shades of red to any other color under the sun... but what I wear is what I know will complement me.     Bling-ed out accessories are just not my cup of tea. Elegant gold jewelry-earrings and a necklace- are definitely what I call … [Read more...]

Cruising down the road…with a family of 4 {A #KiaRoadTrip?…I wish!}

1484

  Cruising down the road...with a family of 4 Sounds like something straight out of a song...but that's the line out of my family's travel box! With a 6 year and a 2 year in tow, we've recently been making frequent trips to neighboring cities we love. (Yes, San Antonio is way up high on that list!)   My 2 year old has just discovered it is worth the while to sit in a car seat for close to 4 hours at a stretch, to … [Read more...]

3 Things you did not know about me

  I don't share a lot about myself on the blog, mainly because I am a very private person... and I guess you could say, fiercely protective. But a certain prompt recently triggered off some fun and not so fun memories. (If you read on, I have to reiterate that Fact #1 was not fun growing up! Yes Ma!!)   Here are 3 random 'Me' facts:   1. I was a whopping 176 lbs in high school. (I have no clue why my mother … [Read more...]

You know it’s time to lose weight when…

. I guess it went to my head. I was always asked how I'd managed to stay in shape right after having Bunny Boo. I'd eat hearty meals and they'd disappear into thin air. I loved being able to walk around comfortably without worrying about pieces of me wobbling around! But then it happened. Bunny Boo weaned away from nursing. From then on it began.   The subtle signs...   The little creases, pockets and … [Read more...]

My children have taught me…

Source: etsy.com via Cheri on Pinterest   . This is so true! My children have taught me that...   It's more fun to play with an empty cardboard box and bubble wrap than with the contents inside the box Making a mess while "helping" Mama bake or cook is much more fun than allowing Mama to bake or cook solo in a clean, organized manner. There's no point hurriedly putting toys away each time they leave a shelf or … [Read more...]

An equestrian “dream”

  I remember going to the local bandstand with my Grandpa for horse rides. The horse's owner would lead the horse around the stand with a quivering bundle of nerves on top...me! I loved going to the bandstand. I wanted to ride on a horse but once on top of the neighing, walking creature the paranoia circling the "what if I fell" thought was incredibly nauseating. Despite all of this I STILL wanted to ride the horse!   For … [Read more...]

Isn’t it funny how…

funny!

Isn't it funny how...   -You couldn't stand the taste of that horrid tomato soup your mother would make as you were growing up but now as a mother you find that it's the only soup you will make for the kids?   - The phone will ring (or the Fedex chap will ring the doorbell ten million times) just as you gently lay your baby to sleep?   - It's always your ice-cream cone that has a teensy weensy hole at the … [Read more...]
