Swine Flu - Take 2!

noreply@blogger.com (Ashley) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:00:00 +0000

I feel like I am starring in the movie Groundhog Day at my house! Two weeks ago, my daughter was sick with the swine flu. She missed an entire week of school, but the rest of the family somehow made it through not catching the virus. I thought I had dodged a bullet of three children out of school and in bed for a week. I breathed a sigh of relief....until yesterday afternoon when my oldest son started to cough and complain of the chills. I knew I was in trouble. I told myself it was probably strep throat or it could just be a cold, but after a quick trip to the doctor to confirm what I already knew, he is in bed with the swine flu.

Once again, I am scrubbing and disinfecting my house. I have quarantined him to his room with movies and a portable DVD player. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t have to relive this sickness again in two weeks with my youngest son… If you have any suggestions of how to keep a thirteen-year-old boy quiet, but entertained, for a few days, please let me know!

Halloween Candy Survival Tips!

noreply@blogger.com (Ashley) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000

My children LOVE Halloween. Each year, they have a big contest to see which child collects the most candy. They sort their candy by brand and type and trade their siblings for their favorite varieties of candy. This is all great fun; however, as they have gotten older, they are bringing home a LOT of candy. My youngest child will eat the candy all day long. He is already the king of cavities and this year after a few too many trips to the dentist, I know that I must get the tooth decaying sweets out of my house quickly!

I have scoured the Internet looking for ideas of what to do with my children’s Halloween candy. I found that some parents recommend taking the candy to a nursing home, food pantry, or to the office. Many swap the candy for a small gift. Candy can also be saved to use on a holiday gingerbread house. The delish.com blog has come up with some great dessert recipes that put your extra Halloween candy to work.

Do you have any special ideas on how to empty your children’s Halloween bag quickly? We would love to hear from you!

Kara: Transform your friends, family, and even your pets into monsters! My brother sent me the Monster Mash e-card this week from JibJab.com-- it was hilarious! If you remember the "Elf Yourself" video from last Christmas, it's along those lines, but Halloween themed. Just upload some photos and send to your friends and family. It's fun and FREE!

Ashley: I found this terrific list of simple family pleasures on the Zen Family Habits blog. From camping in your backyard to thumb wrestling, you will find some clever ideas to start your weekend with a bang!

Tracy: You may have already heard of the Cactus Cuties, but I had not until I saw this video on YouTube. Wow, I am definitely a fan now! Watch this video of the group singing the National Anthem and I promise, you will be blown away!

My Favorite Halloween Books!

noreply@blogger.com (Ashley) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000

How do you get your children in the Halloween spirit? I just read a great idea on the Design Mom blog. Design Mom lights candles and reads Halloween books or tells spooky stories to her children each night in October. What fun is that!

I like to add a new holiday book each year to my shelf. This year, I am going to buy the Geronimo Stilton book, It’s Halloween, You ‘Fraidy Mouse! My seven-year-old son has gone crazy over the Geronimo Stilton series. The books are about a spunky mouse and his adventures. The books are very funny with colorful and unique artwork and page design. These are the first chapter books that my son runs home from school to read. He and his eleven-year-old sister find the stories funny and highly entertaining. Click here for more details.

Thanks to Design Mom, I have gotten out my Halloween books and put them in a basket in my living room to read one each night by candlelight to my kids. Tonight’s reading is an all-time favorite, The Berenstein Bears Trick or Treat! I know my kids are going to love this new tradition. Let us know if you have a favorite Halloween book. We’d love to hear from you!

This Week's Faves!

noreply@blogger.com (CWDkids) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000

Ashley: As a parent, I have found over the years that the "keep it simple" philosophy works for my family, particularly for my 13 year old boy who seems to have selective hearing and likes to answer me with one syllable grunts. I found a terrific idea on the Sophistimom blog for house rules that will work for my whole family: Be Safe and Be Polite. What more do you need to say? I have posted the rules on the refrigerator.....can't wait to see how it works!

Kara: If you are like me, you love to follow the fashion of First Lady, Michelle Obama. Check out www.Mrs-O.com for up-to-date photos of this budding style icon and information about what, and who she is wearing!

Tracy: It's apple season! Check out this great idea for an apple taste test on the Eensies blog. You can sneak some healthy fruit into your children's diet and teach them math at the same time! Click here to find out to set up an apple taste test at your house.
