  What Should We Play Today? Teaching Small Children the Art of Fair Play Dear Moms,  We are living in a new time. AI is globally taking over our technological lives and even threatening our jobs. Mass shootings are on the rise in the US, and women's body autonomy is at stake in the states as well. However, as we navigate our way through the congestion, one thing remains the same- being a mom. Moms have the task of taming our children's wilder natures and teaching them how to behave in society. Mainly, to avoid them becoming those who add to the already chaotic world we live in.  When it comes to teaching small children, ages 3-7 how to share, show compassion, and actively prevent future bullying, engaging in play is one of the most effective methods. Play is a natural way for children to learn and experiment with their environment, and it helps to encourage positive behavior and develop social skills. In order to teach children about sharing, cooperative play is one of t...

Artwork! What to do With It?

Image
Dear Moms,  Do your kids looove to paint or draw? Do they scribble on any scrap of paper they can get their little hands on? Do you find doodles in the margins of books?! What do you do once you have amassed a ton of your little Picasso's "creations?" I had this conversation earlier today with a friend of mine on Facebook. She was speaking on how her son's artwork was beginning to kind of 'overrun' their home... you know- he loves to create and you, "don't want to discourage the creativity or stifle their freedom of expression- but the fridge is only so big and we're REALLY not trying to to incorporate the evolution of your artistry into the overall decor of the house" vibe? 🤷🏾‍♀️ So, I commented that I too had gone through this with my four. I used to keep all of their at home drawings, anything they made at school, and  daycare, church, church camp, the birthday party they went to two, five,72 weeks ago... it was becoming an unruly mess n...

 Dear Moms,  I AM BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!  That's right folks- I have returned to the land of the living- well, I was always alive so.... maybe just the land of the writing? Anywho, I am back and in the swing of things again. I have truly missed creating content for you all and being able to vent my thoughts and feelings in such a cathartic way. I have been gone for around three years and it feels like I never left now that I am here typing my thoughts at a million miles a minute. Okay, I'm being overly dramatic- it's probably at 70 words per minute. You all know how much I love to embellish and be EXTRA! 😂 Speaking of that emoji I just dropped- we're NOT allowed to use it anymore? Okay- we CAN, but I'm pretty sure that your kid or kids have called you a boomer because of your usage of it. Apparently, only the "old folks" use that emoji. The cool kids use the skull emoji to imply that one has died laughing, or the crying emoji as in they are just distraught with...

Ways To Treat Seasonal Allergies That Are Nothing to Sneeze At!

Dear Moms, hiya! It is true that I have been away for a minute AGAIN! okay, hear me out... SCHOOL omg, is kicking my butt...I am finding myself more and more swamped by the day! I never know when one 4 week mod ends and a new one begins if I am going to have one class or two and I never know what class/classes it will be next! (sidebar: I have been really lazy and I never really looked into how to see what classes I would be taking, so I just let them happen!) I know that they are leading me to my Associate's degree in Graphic Arts and I am super excited! I have been maintaining an A-B average in all of my courses, and some of them were on a rocky footing, in the beginning, to say the least! But, I did my best and buckled down and pulled those shaky grades right back to where they needed to be! I also had a rescue dog for a while, we dubbed her Roxxy, but she found her home again and all was well. ROXXY Then, I rescued a kitten! Lol, I spotted her from my kitchen window i...
