Dancer’s are the athletes of God – Albert Einstein

My 1-year-old daughter is girl after my own heart. I was a ballerina for over 20 years.

She hears music and the dancing begins. The huge smile and pure happiness in her movements spark my soul.

My four-year-old son can’t help but join in. They twirl round and round until one falls to the ground.

Rides in the family car are filled with giggles. The two car seats are bouncing to their lively dancing. I can’t help but smile as I listen to their laughter and singing to the songs on the radio.

Little Miss Diva is a natural. Today she was sleeping in her car seat when Usher’s OMG came on. Her little legs were bouncing along to the beat. Gotta love it!

I wake-up everyday looking forward to the joy my Little Dancing Diva brings to my life.

Originally posted by my husband, I adapted it for mothers.

Moms are busy all day chasing around their kids, taking care of their husbands, feeding the family pet and maybe doing something for herself. There are times during the day I’m happy to have a potty break by myself.

We run around all day talking about how busy we are, but at the end of the day we feel as if we never really accomplished anything. 

Often, we are very active, but not productive. 

When we do have a free moment, we are often wasting our time. Simple time-wasting activities can be productive if we change our approach.

What are you busy doing?

Focus on producing, it makes you feel good and creates the things that you want in life.  You will get things done and achieve your goals.

Teach your family to value time and enjoy every breath God gives you.

And when your husband is home, take that potty break by yourself you so richly deserve.

My 4-year-old son is an artist. Throughout our house his art work is displayed. We have original drawings of houses taped to our dining room wall. In our living room, we have a beautiful rendition of Christmas trees. He has a wonderful imagination.

I love his creativity. For Christmas I asked my mother-in-law for an easel as a gift for him. The reviews are not so great for the easels that look great and have everything I want. Plus, my husband hates toys that clutter. I’m sure he will love the kitchen my family purchased for our kids.

Frustrated, I checked out amazon and saw the Crayola Glow Dome.  We have the Crayola 3-D Chalk and my son loves it. Overall, I am very happy with Crayola products.

The Crayola Glow Dome description:

With various light and rotation settings, the Crayola Color Explosion Glow Dome brings drawings to life with the illusion of animation. A fun, new interactive way to draw, the clear Glow Dome and inside panel become see-through canvases for creating imaginative scene. Using colored glow markers, the dome lights up drawings when turned on. This award-winning toy is fun for one, two, or even three friends to play with at a time.

The Crayola Glow Dome may be the answer to my easel dilemma. It’s compact in size and won’t be an eyesore. My son can keep the creativity flowing and my walls can be tape free.

Two years ago, I bought my then 2-year-old son a pair of velcro etnies for Christmas.

Not exactly the Christmas gift every boy dreams of, but I loved them. The shoes were black with a red outlined E. His shoes looked great on him.

He was able to wear the etnies for two years. The velcro made it easy for an independent toddler to get his shoes on and off all by himself.

This year I plan on purchasing brown etnies for my son. Last year I looked everywhere for a pair, but was unable to find his size.  Brown must be a popular color for boys shoes.

I have never been a big fan of wearing athletic shoes with your clothes, but I have always loved the look of etnies with jeans. 

On the etnies website, you can Build and customize your own etnies shoes.Making a customized pair of shoes is a special gift for someone you love for the holidays.

 Orange lilies are beautiful no matter what time of year. I picked some up Thursday while grocery shopping.

The lilies are big, beautiful and the perfect shade of orange.

Against my request, my husband brought in our miniature fake Christmas Tree from the garage. My 4-year-old is very excited for Christmas and wanted to bring the tree in.

It (the Christmas Tree) has been on the kids craft table. It’s been sitting there, driving me crazy. I’ve been plotting the “disappearance” of the tree since they brought it in. But it’s still in the house, taunting me.

While I washing the dishes today I had an idea. Place my beautiful orange lilies on the tree. 

The result, it made the visual of having a Christmas Tree in the house early November less painful. It brought a little island fever to what otherwise is an ugly two foot tree.
