Step 1: Get Daddy to make milkshakes! No fancy recipe here, we just mix up ice cream, milk, and whatever else we want in there. Chunky stuff will make the race more difficult. Step 2: Get some really LONG straws! Step 3: Everyone sips the milkshake through the straws, and the first one to get [...]
Alright moms, I’m going to try not to get on an enormous soapbox here. I’m just going to point out the MADNESS that is going on right now with our nation’s “Childhood Obesity” obsession, and we can discuss in the comments. Are there obese children? Sure. (mainly older children, after they learn bad habits) Does [...]
So I know it’s after Christmas, but I dropped the ball on sharing this with you! It’s so cute that I had to still share it. She got the DS, but the 5-foot long hair and the Elf, well… Santa’s not THAT powerful! Shared with 5 Minutes for Mom
“Will you play with me, Mom?” “”I’m bored.” “What is there to do today?” “Can we watch a movie?” “Can you go outside with us?” On one hand, I am really glad that my kids want to spend time with me. And I really love spending time with them, as well. But it seems they [...]

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139: 14 Shared at 5 Minutes for Mom, and Internet Cafe Devotions
Last year about this time, I had never been to a Disney on Ice show, and had no idea what I was missing! Last October we attended Disney on Ice: Celebrations in Charlotte, and were blown away by the show! After being rather complacent about attending Disney on Ice shows in the past, I am [...]
My kids often say things to me, that upon later pondering, I have to say, “Wait, what’s that s’pposed to mean!?” Here’s a good one: Hip Chick (9yo): “Mom, what are you doing tomorrow?” Me: “Well, I’m going to write a little in the morning, then I have a meeting before I pick you up [...]
No, I’m not talking about my gray roots (I blame my dad), although I do have a hair appointment tomorrow to insure no one knows this isn’t my natural color. You won’t tell, right? Anyway, this week I’m leading the music at our church’s VBS, and I’m so excited! Many moons ago (before I had [...]
Tonight, a friend of mine posted a question on Facebook. One of those exasperated calls for help, where you just want to know that you’re not the only one having a hard time with this “Mom” thing. She ended with the statement, “Maybe I’m doing something wrong.” I know that this friend does her best [...]
I am so excited to have Brooke McGlothlin guest posting today, about a great new project for Moms Of Boys! Now I am not in this group… yet! I have three girls. However, hopefully some day (not too soon) my girls will be bringing home new additions to our family- boys. And hopefully, they will [...]
They say, “Be careful what you wish for,” right? What would you say if you had the choice to eat only candy all day, or eat only regular food for the day? Well, my high-spirited husband spontaneously decided to pose this dilemma to our three daughters last week. I listened intently from the bedroom as [...]
This week, my kids are SO into Easter Crafts! We have been reading the Passion Week Story, and doing Bible activities, but we also love doing crafts with eggs, baskets and bunnies! One of our favorite things to do with our HP Touchsmart Web Printer is to print out activity and craft sheets for the [...]
My great friend Morgan is visiting this week from Sugar Jones’ neck of the woods- California! I’ve seen her about once a year since she moved from NC, and we are thrilled to have them here! Morgan and I were talking about homeschooling, since she is homeschooling her kindergarten daughter. Morgan mentioned that her daughter [...]
I am SO excited to be moving my MomTV Live Video Show to Wednesdays at 8PM eastern! I have loved being at 1:00 in the afternoon, too, but it’s so busy for me on Thursdays that the change is going to be a lot better and more relaxed. I’m still a little nervous about the [...]
