A few weeks back Gavyn arrived home from school enthusiastic that he was going to be starting science. He has never really done science up until now when they did their powders & crystals course, and he did extremely well. Luckily, Gavyn takes interest in science just like his dad and is always asking to experiment with things around the home. We have had pleasure in making a tornado in … [Read more...]
This June I will turn 32 which I am okay with however I am fretting over aging more and more. I look at my mom because I know genes play a huge role in the aging process and think I am going to age well. My mom has had a rough life the last ten years which has definitely made her see signs of aging growing rapidly. She cared for and watched her husband die from cancer, she was diagnosed with … [Read more...]
Construction toys are educational for children of all ages. They improve hand eye coordination, build strength in their hands, support social play when performed with other children, and encourage imagination. Since both of my children have been young, there has been some type of toy building blocks in our home. From very basic soft blocks, to wooden Lincoln Logs which allow my children to … [Read more...]
Besides being a mom to two adorable children, I am also a mom to two cats. They are my fur babies who I adore dearly. Since being out of my childhood home, I have had at least two cats in my home. A few seconds after the clock struck midnight on the Millennium, my brother brought his cat to Florida; he was coming to stay with us for a while. Meet ET, my almost 13 year cat who we adopted … [Read more...]
Minnie is one of Zoe’s beloved characters. You may recall she was Minnie for Halloween, has almost every DVD you can imagine and asks to watch them on a daily basis. As a mom, I appreciate the educational value of each DVD plus they are enjoyable because children can respond with their answers. Children learn colors, counting, teamwork and so much more with each episode that is … [Read more...]
This winter has been bizarre. We are now in the beginning of February with the grass showing and no snow, unbelievable. Here in Western NY, this is uncommon. Of course I’m sure it happens but not for as long as I can remember. We have had one snowstorm this entire winter. In fact just the other day, temperatures reached 57°. While that is still chilly, the kids were running around without their … [Read more...]
Some of you may know from an earlier post I wrote, that I have a wonderful sister who has Down syndrome. Janel is the happiest girl in the world. I have so many fond memories growing up with her. Not only was she content almost 100% of the time, she is witty. Before adulthood she would sit and tell us some nonsensical stories. They made absolutely no sense, but she would giggle her … [Read more...]
Jewelry is something I wear very little of. I wear my engagement ring and wedding band, bracelets and necklaces on occasion, and earrings. I do have very sensitive ears so usually have to spend a fortune to have stunning earrings which do not cause tenderness. My husband has purchased two pairs of genuine diamond earrings for me in the past, and unfortunately both pairs have vanished. I … [Read more...]
Most of you are aware that my husband and I are no longer “legally” married. In our hearts we are but due to a few circumstances years ago, unfortunately we couldn’t overcome some major life changing difficulties that took place; a child almost passing away, close to $50,000 in medical bills, a brand new home that we built and postpartum depression at such a young age. During that time … [Read more...]
Since becoming a mom I have developed quite an obsession with germs. I don’t like them and know they are all around us. Teaching my children about germs is not a simple task, since you cannot see them. I reinforce how important it is to wash hands before eating, after using the bathroom, after coughing, sneezing or blowing their noses or when we get home from a public location. Our car … [Read more...]
