"Acsninent" Prone

-


"It was a acsninent," Hannah cried as she piddled on the bed.
"It was a acsninent!" She supplied after bopping Linsey in the head.
"But it was a acsninent!" I ignored as I cleaned marker off the wall.
"Was it a acsninent?" Hannah asked when I tripped on Nattie in the hall.

Accident or no, Hannah knows she's way too cute,
With bright blue eyes and curly hair, and a killer smile to boot!
At times, I can't decide whether to laugh or to cry
And then her voice, 'I love you soooo much, Mommy!' sends all my stress goodbye.

While there's monsters on the floor and kids to snuggle on my bed,
Who cares about all those looming questions floating in my head?
I love this age, where most 'acsninents' can be cleaned with broom and mop,
And I pray each day, as we work and play, may our love and laughter never stop.

Letter of the Week - P

Last week we had the most fun with the letter "P" for Hannah's preschool (I love it when there are activities all 3 girls can enjoy!) We've gone through the alphabet with a letter by letter emphasis, just to give some structure to our days and streamline activities. "P" is for...Penguins  We learned facts about penguins and made these adorable crafts, found here . (The only change we made was to use construction paper, since we had no paper plates on hand.) My girls all love penguins and had fun trying to imitate their walk. The first time we saw penguins at the zoo, Hannah bravely remarked, "I'm not afraid of penguins, they waddle!" "P" is for... Painting Linsey's art is through the K12 curriculum, so I just have the younger girls to modified versions of whatever she is doing, which happened to be painting this week. (This shirt was trashed when Nattie finished! "Tummy to the table" does NOT apply in paint...

My First Giveaway!! Digital Scrapbooking Software

-
Image
I have been tossing around the idea of doing a few giveaways and reviews for awhile, so when My Memories Suite emailed and asked me to host a giveaway for Amazon's #1 ranked digital scrapbooking software, I jumped at the chance! I love traditional scrapbooking. I've done several books of my own and some for friends, but having a lot of small children around and a lot of small (expensive) scrapbooking material is a bad combination, especially because I don't have a workroom to close off. Over the past few weeks, I've fallen in love with digital scrapbooking. The Memories Suite has so many options - when I make a digital scrapbook, I can add video, text, embellishments, music, you name it! I started with some of their templates (tons of options!) to save time and learn my way around the program, then I customized them a bit. Plus, you can go online after the initial download and choose from even more layouts, or start from scratch and make your own book. You can even ...

Working Mom, Part I: Office Supplies

-
Image
As you may know, I've recently transitioned from works-from-home(schooling) mom to full-time working mom who put all 3 of her kids in school for the first time within 2 weeks of each other. (I don't recommend that, by the way, it was mildly traumatic!) While I am pleased with how this transition has played out, and my husband seems happy with it as well, Linsey, who is 8 going on 35, is not as impressed with my office job. We were watching a reality TV show recently about people who worked in a cupcake bakery that were making a 1,000-cupcake replica of a Mardi Gras mask, when she quipped, "Wow, Mom, aren't you glad you don't have to do that kind of hard stuff at your work? All you have to do is type." And I immediately thought, Yeah, tell that to my boss! Although my becoming an executive assistant has yet to impress her, there are a few perks at our office that she admits are "pretty cool:" A popcorn machine that puts microwave popcorn to ...
