Bad Parenting moment #236

Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart for groceries. We were in the store about 45 minutes and then stood in line for what seems like forever to check out. While we were standing in line Zoe, who was in the back of the cart stood up and started to shake her bottom. This has become something [...]

I’m not a “Rocker”

I am not exactly what you would call a “Rocker” but because I love my husband (who is still trying to hang on to his younger days ) I attended a christian rock concert with him on Saturday. Which by the way in my own personal opinion I believe that christian rock is an oxymoron. [...]

The beginning of the end

We’re doing it! We are slowly taking the plunge into no pacie land. We figure it’s about time. With baby on the way and Zack being almost 2 1/2 we really need to start pulling him off his dependency of the binkie. We are down to just one, and it is used solely at bedtime [...]

Another good day

 
I did some shopping at Kroger tonight and found a lot of great deals. Before coupons my total was $64 something and after coupons it was $20.34.  I still haven’t been able to zero out again but I’m working on it. They were out of several of the items I was going for so hopefully [...]

Kitchen Tip Tuesdays

My tip is for bananas
Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave
 them connected at the stem, they ripen faster
If you want a banana but don’t want the whole thing, cut it in half, you can wrap the other half or not. When you are ready to eat the other [...]

What I’m Reading

I just finished reading The Stay at Home Mom by Donna Otto. I found this book to be a great encouragement for moms who are at home and moms who are thinking about staying at home. There was a lot of great advice and helpful hints such as staying organized, having quiet times, praying for [...]
