once you do it once


We went to the Zoo when my sister was here a couple weekends ago. The first time we went last year I said, "Why don't you try to stand like those flamingos?" Now EVERY time we go the kids want there picture taken looking like a flamingo. I can have a whole looking like a flamingo scrapbook.

smart moms know

I found this in Woman's Day magazine

Your first instinct is usually the right one.
Time-outs aren't just for kids.
Sometimes all a kid really needs is someone to listen.
You can't do it all ---and that's OK.
A nap works wonders on cranky toddlers and cranky husbands.
On a hectic day, fast food equals a stress-free dinner --no guilt allowed!

50's

It in the 50 and it's June. Is it too much to ask to not have to wear a parka in June. I have lived in Wisconsin for almost 8 years and still not use to it. I told Darren last night that once it turns hot it will be BLAZING until september. Oh well.
