Wanna See This Moms Messy Room?
My bedroom is a disaster area. There. I. Said. It. Out loud. Yes, that is a photo of the Eyster master bedroom- in all its glory. (Or unglory!)

Driving At Age Ten! What?
I am absolutely at a loss for words {well, not really-since I am writing about it} that parents would allow their ten year old to drive! Has the world gone mad? I still cannot quite figure out how it happened. I mean heck, they can barely see over the steering wheel. I think some of them have got to be using booster seats while driving. They look so grown up sitting behind that wheel. It is so cute! Their parents are so proud too, taking … [Read more...]

What the heck happened to my “clean up, clean up...everybody, everywhere...clean up, clean … [Read more...]

Doing Laundry For Fun!
In Be The Mom I talk about doing chores together as a family and trying to make even chores an opportunity to bond and build relational equity with your children. I suggest that it is wise to make doing things around the house more about the relationship and character building and less about perfect chore completion. With repetition and effort there is continuous improvement in children. I know sometimes it is tough moms cause we could get … [Read more...]
