Try Something Fresh!

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Chick-Fil-A. *** Do you follow a daily routine? Most of us do. Especially if you have younger kids. Routine is almost a must for them. I even find myself stuck in a routine of what I eat. It’s the same breakfast every morning (except when [...]

Coffee Filter Crafts

OneMommy — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:37:29 +0000

Time to use that science experiment with the coffee filters we did last week for a craft! Our first coffee filter craft was a flower. The flowers are super easy! We chose to use some fancy scissors with a scalloped edge to trim the top of each coffee filter. You could totally skip that [...]

Dermagist Foot and Heel Revitalizing Cream

OneMommy — Sun, 19 May 2013 18:20:19 +0000

Confession time: My husband’s feet scare me. Don’t laugh! I’m serious! They are scaly, dry, cracked… Over our married years he has tried several different foot lotions and creams (per my request), but none of them seem to do much good. So when Dermagist contacted me and asked if I’d like to review [...]

Today’s Thankful Thursday post is based on a prompt from Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop: Tell us about the story of your birth. With my son’s 4th birthday this week, I’m turning the prompt to the day of his birth and his entry into our family, a day I am forever thankful for. *** [...]

Ready for some more simple science fun with the kids? I remember doing this one back in elementary school. All you need are some coffee filters, colored markers, water, and a little patience and you can explore chromatography! (Don’t worry, it’s just a big word which basically means you are going to separate [...]

As a former language arts/reading teacher, I love doing activities with my kids that help them connect with the books we get from the library. In celebration of Children’s Book Week, I wanted to share some of our favorite book activities we’ve done. My son is a lover of anything that goes… [...]

Motherhood Changes You

OneMommy — Sun, 12 May 2013 01:11:50 +0000

Being a mother changes you, in ways you never thought of. Your priorities, your routine, your hobbies… It all changes. Before children I never dreamed I’d be a stay-at-home mom. Even when I was pregnant, I couldn’t imagine staying home with the kids. I loved working with my middle school kids, seeing [...]

Thankful Thursday — Simple Moments

OneMommy — Thu, 09 May 2013 01:45:49 +0000

I was staring at a basket of laundry, willing it to put itself away, when I heard, “Mommy, will you take a walk with us?” Looking at the clock, I saw it was almost lunch time. “Sure, Sweetie. You guys wait on the back porch and I’ll make lunch to take with us,” [...]
