Dreaming Of Being A Stay At Home Mom? Do These 6 Things…
These steps help you learn how to afford being a stay at home mom…and if that’s really what you want the most!
I proudly watched as my Hubby crossed the stage wearing his cap and gown.
It was tough work to put him through college while we both worked full-time jobs and raised our son, but it paid off!
A week after the celebration, I gave birth to our second boy. As I held him, one thought ran through my head over and over.
I have to figure out how to afford to be a stay at home mom!
But we just weren’t in a position to make it happen yet. I had to be content with a long summer off from my teaching job with my boys instead.
By the time I was pregnant with our third child, we knew it was time to get serious about making my dream a reality.
I wasn’t good at juggling work and home life. And that paycheck I was earning was barely covering the costs of my work.
I was due in June, so we had an entire school year to make our preparations.
Today, I’m going to share with you how we made the leap.
Baby Proofing Ideas To Make Your House Toddler Ready
These baby proofing ideas are just what you need to make your house toddler safe.
Life is funny. You spend the first several months of a baby’s life begging them to learn how to walk.
Then they get past those first steps…and you start to wonder what we were thinking?!
You don’t even really understand how much baby proofing a house needs until you suddenly see it from the perspective of your toddler.
Those baby safety kids with their outlet covers and cabinet door locks make you feel like you’re ready…but it doesn’t take long to realize that’s just the beginning!
On Father’s Day and Every Day; It’s All Worth It
The Dads in our lives mean the world to us. They often go to work, come home to help the kids with homework, and repair a plumbing problem. Then they go to bed to get up and do it all over again the next day.
Being a Daddy is a tough job. But it’s definitely got its perks, too!
Father’s Day will soon be here, and what better time to have a man’s perspective on the blog? I asked my Hubby to give us a little idea about being a Dad and why it’s all worth it.
Tested and Approved List of Educational Websites That Are Free
Keep this list of educational websites close at hand. Great for “I’m bored!” days or for keeping the summer slide at bay. Make learning fun again!
Ever have one of those days where all the kids are whining (“I’m boooooored!”), a gallon of milk got spilled on your hardwood floor (better than the carpet??), and when you went for your secret chocolate stash…it was empty! (Gasp!)
Then you must be a Mom! And every Mom has a limit to her patience.
You hate to resort to more screen time.
But some days, that break is well worth it.
How do you use some screen time without feeling the weight of Mom guilt? Well, what if you could keep the kids occupied in a fun, but educational way?
The Importance of Sports In Life: 5 Reasons To Join A Team
Inside: The importance of sports in life go well beyond the foul lines of the field. Forget about scores and statistics…there are important lessons to be learned!
I held my breath. The ball was headed towards short stop, and we needed a good play to end the inning. I knew it would take a spectacular move for my son to make the play, but he’d done it before. But it wasn’t meant to be this time. The ball bounced off of his shoe and headed out to left field.
He was clearly aggravated, but he ran to catch the cut off throw. And he finished the play. I was relieved to see his teammate walk over and give him a quick pat on the back. Our third baseman had a knack for using just the right words to bring our son back to calm so he could get back to the game.
Our family is stacked with baseball lovers. But for us, the importance of sports in life isn’t about winning or playing at a professional level. It’s really about the strong lessons they take away from the field.
The key here is letting your kids learn these lessons. It’s tempting as parents to want to save them from their feelings. But if you let them learn how to deal on their own, they’ll be better for it.
