Mother, a Word That Means the World to Me
Somewhere once I read these lines, “Mother, a word that means the world to me.” They rang so true when I read them and they still ring so true today. I love being a Mom, ok..some days are super hard, but I wouldn’t trade the good moments, the joyful moments, the peaceful moments with my kids for all the bad moments in the world. I love Mother’s Day because it helps to remind me to focus on the things I LOVE about being a mom instead of the things I don’t. It is a chance to set aside my to do list for the day and just play with my kids and enjoy all the little surprises they and their dad have cooked up. Being a Mother is awesome, it is definitely a word that means a lot to me.
I Love my mom. She is fantastic and is another reason that the word Mother is so meaningful. Just look at her cute smiling face with all the grand babies gathered around. Today is also so wonderful because it gives me the opportunity to think about her and all the reasons that I am so thankful she is my mom. I love you mom!!
To all those Mother’s out there of any kind, whether you have kids, or nieces, or you are a teacher or a mentor or a friend. Mothering comes in all shapes and sizes and it takes all kinds.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

My Dog Follows Me Everywhere
I Love my dog Tucker. I used to think that I was NOT a dog person, but then I got a dog…….What?
Now I know that I am a dog person, but only where my dog is concerned, just look at that face, how could I not love him?! 🙂 I do like animals but I don’t necessarily love other people’s dogs….really just my own. Can anyone else relate to this? I mean no disrespect to other people pets, I am sure they are great, I just don’t necessarily want to pet them or have them slobber on me. LOL!
My dog follows me everywhere. All day long he pads around the house after me. At night he follows me as I check on the kids sleeping in their beds, and if I forget this part of our bedtime ritual he patiently waits outside their bedroom doors until I notice him so we can make sure my girls are safe and sound and asleep in their beds. He stands on the couch and looks out the window and barks at strangers (and people we know) if they even look they are going to enter our yard or knock on our door. He is very scary at a whopping 6.5 pounds! He does him best to protect our home.
So why did I get a dog if I didn’t even really like dogs?? Hmmm, that is truly the question of the day. Continue reading

Cleaning Games
Our house gets messy, I need my kids to help out, but sometimes (okay, more like most of the time:) ) they just do not want to! Making the mess is one thing, cleaning it up is another! I cannot stand the constant fights I have trying to get them to take some responsibility for their messes. My oldest is 7 and lately her most common opinion is that I am only here in her life to boss her around! I feel strongly that my kids need to learn to work and clean and help out in our home. We are a family, and we are a team. Working together is important. Everyone in the household needs to feel a responsibility for the state of our house. But the question is, how to accomplish this? How do I get my kids to want to help out? How do I get cleaning and tidying the house to not be such a dreadful event?
