Kids and Homework- Oh My!


I feel like I'm back in school and I have no idea WTF to do!  My 5th grader is bringing home math homework that looks foreign to us.  My husband and I both look at each other as to see who can help our child but we both know we can't.  It's straight crazy!  I'm thinking in the 5th grade either I was flirting with the boys too much or I actually got it back then.

Last night it was my turn to help with homework so I looked at the page and just went blank!  I looked at the examples and them proceeded to do it, hoping I was right.  After going through the steps with my son at least 5 times he still didn't GET IT.  My patience by this time was gone because I feel he was using me to do his homework.  I gave him to his dad at this point, using the "I need to make dinner" excuse.  Dad didn't even understand so the child was left doing it on his own which ended up being 3 hours of "I don't understand" fit. He wouldn't even give it a try- he just wanted US to do it for him and I wasn't falling for it again!  We tried to reason with him and I think he was super tired but just wouldn't calm down.  At that point (it's 8:30pm  and we have been doing this since 4:30) I gave up and told him I would wake him up early so we can tackle it then.

Why is homework so STRESSFUL!!!!

Gojo Purell Review- 2 Thumbs Up!

I was pretty excited when I got the box full of GoJo Purell products to review.  I know my kids don't always wash their hands when they use the bathroom because I usually have to tell them to go back in to do it.  Also I'm always cleaning the bathroom and kitchen to make sure we are not spreading germs everywhere.



Having these products around the house is a blessing during this flu season.  I put the Gojo Purell Hand Sanitizer/Dispenser AD-7 in the bathroom (it wouldn't stick to our wall so it's on the counter).  It was very easy to set up and put the soap in so I loved that.  The kids are washing their hands more I hope, I haven't had to say too much lately.    My lil girl took off with the pink Gojo Sample of Purell Jelly Wrap and has it on her backpack now- wonderful spot! She loves the jelly wrap because she says it's not going anywhere that is how strong it is!  The Purell Pal is in our kitchen and I love this cute thing.



As a mom I feel every house should have these items to help stop the spread of GERMS!  Dad is the only one in the house that got really sick so we think we are doing pretty good fighting this flu from getting the best of us.  Dad need to use this more LOL!

Valentine Gift Idea Day 2- See's Candy


What woman doesn't like chocolate ???  Ummmm I LOVE SEE'S CHOCOLATES.  This particular box is under $18.  Not a bad price.  There is something for everyone at See's.


My Son Has the Biggest Heart!

I had a proud mama moment last night because one of Ronnell's friends didn't get into a school they auditioned for and he was bummed for her.  He said " I just want to tell the judges off and how could they not pick her, it's just wrong".    Then he called his friend and asked her if is she was okay.  They talked for awhile and I could hear him reassuring her that it will be fine.  He is a great friend.

Yesterday, Ronnell told his daddy that I was going to be his Valentine so they will have to share me.  I feel loved.  Hopefully with 2 Valentines I might actually get a present LOL!  Just hidden...NOT!

He still loves to snuggle with me at night when everyone else goes to sleep.  He is almost as tall as I am so it's funny he is all curled up with his mom but damn I love it!

Ronnell also is a great big brother, even though they fight a lot.  This boy has her back, if anyone is messing with her he is on them!  Go Big Brother you ROCK.

I enjoyed reviewing this software.  I put the Collageit on my iPhone and it was super duper EASY.  I was able to make a collage in 2 minutes.  You can import up to 9 pics and choose many different college templetes.  I was able to edit, rotate, resize, flip, delete and adjust the border.  There are 4 collage styles Mosaic, Grid, Center, and Manual.  Then I was able to SHARE it with ease.  I can share on Facebook, Email, Tumbler, and Flickr.  My kids now make their own collages and share with their friends.  

The ideas are endless~ make a college for your honey, mom, dad, friends, kids, or co-workers for Valentines Day.  

Here is the collage I made:


I'm going to print it out for GRANDMA'S!!

February Day 5 Photo Challenge: Fave Photo

Yes it's another picture of my lil girl- she takes GREAT PICS!  I love her hair and smile in this picture.


Every night she sings me a song using this heart symbol.....I love you and you love me and we are a happy family with a great big hug and kiss.  I love you!  The melody is the Barney song, lol!  Then we make these heart hands and then pound it out.  Every night she does this before bedtime.  It warms my heart. 



February Day 4 Photo Challenge~ Letter


If it was this easy, right.  Yesterday I wasn't feeling so good- not sick just tired.  I guess that old age is kickin in a bit.  Anyways, I just looked at my house and knew I wasn't in the mood to clean.  Thank goodness it wasn't too dumpy but enough for me to want to do it.  But TODAY I need to stop the excuses and CLEAN!  

I did sign up for FLYLADY- I love the encouragement and tools they provide.  Now there is a lot going on but you are able to control what you sign up for and you can always say NO EMAILS.

Cree and Scooter Book Review- 2 Thumbs Up!


We HIGHLY recommend Cree and Scooter Books!  Sahara found the book very fun and now wants to go to British Columbia to go skiing.  In the back of the book is activities like word search, mazes, coloring and much more.  The books illustrations are beautiful.  As a mom I loved how it also taught her a couple words in French.  Reading, learning and fun is what Cree and Scooter brought to Sahara.  

Please check out her book review video below to see how she feels about the book.  She is already asking me for another one, LOL!
