How Do You Measure A Year?

How quickly they are growing, maturing and becoming wonderful people. This last year has consisted of 525,600 minutes of highs and lows. Minutes [...]

Christmas is less than one week away and until today I felt prepared. I have nothing for my dad. I think I am short on gifts for my son and nothing is wrapped. I even tucked some gifts away so nobody could find them and that must include me too! I’m inhaling and exhaling. There [...]

Christmas is on my mind. Snow has fallen and holiday music is playing on the radio. The children are making their lists and mama is checking them twice and seeing who’s naughty or nice. Even I am making a list and some of the items from this list come from Red Envelope. Have you seen [...]

Anyone else feel exhausted today? Oh, it is over. The kids did not want to get out of bed. They asked for candy at breakfast. Thank goodness for Earth Mama Angel Baby oil it my saving grace for removing the witch’s makeup that she slept in last night! My car still holds the candy, costume [...]

Halloween Candy Consumption

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:31:51 +0000

My kids eat lots of candy on Halloween, more than their normal monthly consumption! There I said it. And I’m okay with it. It is one day of the year and they’re children for the love of God! I remember the feeling but I also remember having some limits. Which is what parenting is all [...]

I turn 34 tomorrow. I feel 34 and some days when I get out of bed and my back hurts or my leg aches I think I’m 64. I wonder what I’ll feel like then. Everyone is asking me what I want for my birthday. Nothing really because if I want something I go buy [...]

The 4th of July is a day to celebrate, it’s the birthday of the United States of America and a time to celebrate our freedom and those that fought for our freedom.

Valentine Inspiration for Getting Your Craft On

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:00:53 +0000

Once upon a time I was crafty and clever. I wore glue in my hair, had marker stained hands and glitter under my nails. I could cut the letters of the alphabet out of construction paper blindfolded and in less than 30 seconds (okay not really but close enough). Now I’m too busy and feeling [...]
