Every Mommy Needs One!

Yesterday for Rex's birthday his Grandma Sheila gave him a Doodle Pad! I thought it was cute but was sure that it would be ruined in a few days. Then Grandma said that it was a toy for the car. Ummm...never thought of that. So today we went to Granny and Grampy's house which is at least a 45 minute drive and he played with his Doodle Pad for about 20 minutes and then threw it down on the floor and went to sleep. When we left their house he played with it again for about 30 minutes and then threw it on the floor and started talking to us. This time that he was playing quietly gave Miah and I time to talk and have grown up time without Rex wanting our attention the whole time or screaming because he was tired but not yet ready for sleep. This was awesome! I think everyone should get one. I think I will be heading to the store to get an extra one for the car so that when Sami is here she can have one too! Love it! Thanks Grandma Sheila!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
