Little Dancing Diva

07.14.10

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....

Productivity vs. Activity – For Moms

01.02.10

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? Activity Productivity hanging out on facebook setting up a mommy-and-me date while on facebook reading a blog reading a blog about animals to your kids going to the gym exercising by going on a family...

Creative Kid Gift

12.09.09

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.

Kickin’ Kids Shoes

12.05.09

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.
