How To Plan A Family Road Trip That Everyone Will Enjoy
Now that summer is here it is time to clean down the car and plan a family road trip. If you are planning to get a car of your own, I suggest you to look for the 1967 Mustang GT Fastback manufacturers and dealers. There is no better time. You need a break from work, the kids are off school, and the sun is out and beating down on us all. Oh yeah, you also get to spend time with your family and bond! It all sounds amazing, and it is in the majority of cases. But, road trips need…
Why You Should Consider Some Time Off From Being Mom
As your child moves through toddlerhood, you may be feeling it’s time for them to gain more independence. You may enroll them in a pre school, or in some activity classes. This also helps free up your time, allowing you to gain some valuable ‘Me’ time to do the things you’ve missed out on for the last two years. Having kids is the ultimate sacrifice. They will always come first, no matter how big they get. But it’s easy to reminisce and miss the days you were free to take care of yourself first. It was easy to take advantage…
LeBron vs. Michael – A Kid’s Standpoint | #basketball
Today, I was taking the boys to their Summer Camp, and the DJs on the radio were talking about basketball. They kept mentioning LeBron James, and even know the boys have never watched much basketball, for some reason they sure like LeBron. I told them that when I was younger, Michael Jordan was the best in basketball, and as far as I will concerned, he always would be. Here's what The Gamer had to say about that! "Well, maybe it was Michael Jordan in your day, but since LeBron James was invented, he's actually the best."
Potty Trained? Other uses for Huggies Wipes at Walmart! #tripleclean
Potty Trained? No worries! Huggies Wipes at Walmart are still great even after your little one no longer uses diapers! Have you kissed your diapering days goodbye? Now that the Minion is in daycare, we've ditched the diapers, and he's getting better with using the potty. Notice I said better? Yeah, we still have an accident or two a day, but my baby is growing up, and even though I'm so over diapers, I'm glad to be moving on from this chapter in our lives! As a cloth diaper user, one of the things I find that most cloth diapering families…
Children of Addicts: Life On Crazy Street
The influence a parent with drug or alcohol addiction issues has on household children can range from mild to extreme, with dysfunctional behavior patterns and emotional chaos setting the tone for a child’s life, which carries straight through to their adults years. In what would be considered extremely rare cases, there are stories of children who grew up in dysfunctional families and managed to thrive as grownups. But life with a parent who has an addiction problem, who has never undergone any drug addiction treatment is very often cruel and unpredictable – a very challenging life for a child whose…
Happy Birthday, Braxton!
This week has been full of new things. We had VBS at our church from Sunday to Wednesday. I ran registration, and it was crazy fun! I had a blast, and I had a great crew to help me. Never, EVER in a million years did I think I would like helping in the children's ministry, but when God tells you to do something, you pretty much better run with it. Since I've started working for someone other than myself (I was going to in the home for out of the but that's confusing!), it's not easy having two older…
Netflix Summer Originals | #StreamTeam
This summer, you're going to need something to watch while taking a break from the heat. Netflix has some great original series to watch while you have downtime on vacation, waiting for your little one to finish with dance or baseball practices, or when you simply need time for yourself, Now that baseball is in full swing, The Hubby is pretty upset that his Netflix time has been drastically reduced! I'm a huge baseball fan, so I love to watch the games from start to finish. He really didn't want to upgrade to the baseball channel for the season, because…

Busting Boarding School Fallacies, Fairy Tales, and Folklore
Does the term “boarding school” conjure up images of dejected kids being shipped off to unknown destinations by disapproving parents or conniving caregivers? This might be a common theme in children’s books, but it doesn’t reflect what boarding schools are really like today. Modern boarding schools can offer dynamic experiences unique to this educational setting. Kids attend boarding schools for many different reasons. Some want the chance to live in a dorm setting surrounded by friends. Others have parents whose careers require them to travel frequently. Many go for opportunities or programs they can’t get anywhere else. If you’re considering…
Netflix Lessons on Lying | #StreamTeam
Whether we like it or not, lies are a part of life. Adults, teenagers, and kids alike tell lies in an attempt to stay out of trouble, to protect others and to make others happy. Some lies, like the white lies that we tell everyday are harmless. We say we're good to avoid getting into a discussion about our tiring, chaotic day filled with family drama and we tell our kids that Santa is real and can totally deliver gifts to every kid in the world on one single night. Other lies however, aren't that harmless. Like when you catch…
