Art is great!

Art is great!!! Kids love to do anything involving chalk, glue, tape, paper or cutting. The best part about that is the endless possibilities. Rocket ships. Fairy princess dolls. Animals and more. Add a little glitter and you have hours of entertainment. Maybe even days of glittery hair! Let kids be kids and give them the chance to be creative. My super duper husband made us this chalk board with some chalk board paint from the local hardware store. Go buy some and give a wall a coat or two. Your kids will love you for it.

My little Man

This one loves to say DUDE! He currently has a dirty blond helmet for hair and he runs around like a silly old drunk. If you put him on a skate board he can ride it out for quite some feet. He loves going down our driveway. Its fun watching him grow and learn!  A favorite quote I once read said "Don't just stand there Leap!" That defines my little man to a T. He leaps at life and dances with its sweet song. He also loves paint and marker pens. If by chance he gets his hands on one of these you can bet he has tagged a number of things including himself. Just yesterday I had to clean off the computer screen, keyboard, desk, mouse and remote. Purple paint everywhere! He also loves just jumping. We have a large trampoline in our back yard and this boy can jump. His favorite way to jump is in a diaper. He finagles his way out of his clothing for the optimal jumping experience. Its the cutest scene!  My little man is one of the greatest joys that I have known.

Life is sweeter with little people!

Life is sweeter with little people. I am doing the best that I know how to take care of these three little ones. They are full of emotions and constantly living in the moment. I wish that my life was just as simple. Constantly I am stressing over how I am doing as a mother. Do I discipline them correctly.? Am I spoiling them? Are they learning from my example how to love others? It is a crazy thing being a parent. Sometimes when I just live, and stop trying so hard, it is then that I feel most successful!

At what point do we change our eating habits?


Any one seen the new Move called Food Inc.????
I haven't yet but I am extremely excited for the impact that it will have on our food industry.
Pesticides on every fruit and vegetable that we eat. 
Synthetic sweeteners. 
High fructose corn syrup as the main ingredient.
 Corn corn corn.
 Corn that is tampered with and no longer natural. 
Home and baby products that are proven to cause side effects. 
Ignorance and foolish dependence on our government.
How do we feed our family safe food?
How do we eat organic food within our food budget?
Is it all really necessary? 
If you are like me you have had these thoughts for some time but have had no idea what to do about the thoughts. I want you to know that there is a book that can answer all your thoughts and not destroy your life in the process. 
Go buy this book! It really is that good. 
If you don't like it I will buy it back from you and share it with someone else.
The book is called Super Natural Home by Beth Greer.
My family will reap huge health benefits because Beth took the time to write this book. 


Creative Friends and Children


I love having friends to love on our kids and do life with!
