Back to School with Nestle: Sweet Rewards

August 13, 2009

As a child, I read somewhere that “food should never be used as a reward or a punishment.” My children are certainly grateful I didn’t take those words to heart; I believe in its use as a reward and sometimes an incentive. We mothers need everything we can get in our bag of tricks. I’m [...]

January 7, 2009

1/365 I’m finally going to take the plunge and begin Project 365. My original goal was to start on January 1; I keep putting it off, imagining getting behind before ever beginning. The Motherhood recently kicked off their new site with a blog scavenger hunt. Although I didn’t win the grand prize, I was one [...]

The Mothers in My Life

May 11, 2008

Mother’s Day has stirred thoughts about the mothers in my life, past and present. My mother passed away 4 years ago in March. I still miss her. In some ways I am very much like her, in others not as much. She was very visual, like I am, and had strong opinions about what constituted [...]

December 5, 2007

I came upon the following quote tonight. It truly blessed me and I was surprised when I saw the source. It is certainly as relevant today as when it was written: If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children…, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out [...]

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child

July 28, 2007

My mother was a wise woman with some great sayings, one of which was, “No one person is important enough to make everyone around them miserable.” Today, one of my kids thought he was that one person. We had a lovely day today, the kind that make fond family memories: driving to a mountain resort [...]

A meaningful day for a mommy

July 21, 2007

My 5-year-old son has a stuffed animal, Puppy Dog, which is his most indispensable treasure. Puppy Dog lost an ear a few weeks ago, and then today his head was pulled halfway off of his neck, requiring a call to the paramedics, a.k.a. me and my sewing basket. Lily (my youngest daughter) sat in the [...]
