    Really a WAHM this time...

    Thanks everyone! Those ideas are great! There are two of us and he does change things up if I need to get something done. He has always been helpful that way. :) I do have a helper - on Wednesdays only. But at least it is something. The kids are 3 and 5 and there are many times they let me...

    Really a WAHM this time...

    Just not ready for the potty?...

    I don''t think he is totally ready yet - and he's not even 3 so don't worry at all. If people are giving you hard time - just tell them to BE QUIET (tell them I said so.)

    Seeking advice on feeding a 2 year old....

    If you think about it - they are getting 5-6 small meals a day. Breakfast Snack Lunch Snack Supper Snack (maybe) So to have a grazer is perfect! We should all eat 5-6 x's/day. As long as he is getting some healthy food in there he will be fine!

    T.V. at Dinner...

    I wish it were not true - but we sometimes have the TV on during dinner. Lately it's because the kids and I are having a "picnic" and then we watch "The Dog Whisperer." Odd - I know. I prefer when all 4 of us can eat together at the table. That happens about 5+ days per week which I think is...

    Playing Outside in the Winter...

    Okay - I know I'm pathetic - but I live in MN and hate the cold. I will go outside with my 5 year old. He will play outside for a bit - shovel, sledding, making snow men etc. But my 3 year old daughter - that's annother story. Within 10 min she is cold, can't move well i the snow and snow...

    Sly Milk Question...

    My 3 yo daughter has constipation issues. We have tried many things and have found Silk works fine for her. I try to buy organically when I can - so both my 5 yo son and I drink organic milk. I thought that soy milk would be just as good - but have recently heard that it's awful as far as...
