When Is The Best Time For My Child To Do Homework – Mid Year Burnout
We are more than halfway through the school year and let’s be honest. Our kids are beginning to check out. Heck! We are starting to check out. I usually last till Spring Break, but every day feels like Spring Break here in Hawaii. So, with the burnout, let’s think about the best time for my child to do homework. Did you see what I said there….MY, meaning you must figure out what works best for your home.

The iPhone Case Saved My Child
I have a tween daughter. If you have a tween son or daughter, I’m sure you understand the pain. And if you have a female tween you CAN REALLY relate. This child of mine is always complaining about not having easy access to her money at school or when she’s out and about. I found a great iPhone case for tweens and adults. The first day of middle school was last school year for my home. We were all excited and a bit nervous for The Softball Chef. But, her personality is just chill and low key. No worries in the world for her, well maybe an 89 on a…

Teaching Kids About Money With The Moonjar – Carlos Made It To Hawaii
There’s nothing like a smile on a child’s face when they’ve reached a goal. The Softball Chef, Equestrian Girl Forever and Fashion Diva Girl all had the biggest smile the day we said, “yes, Carlos will be joining us in Hawaii.” No, I wasn’t going to actually leave him, but we told the girls they had to help pay the fees to ship him here. The agreement was half. When families PCS (military move) there are costs associated with moving pets that must come out of our own pockets. There is also a process that happens depending on the country (in this case, we remained within the US, but Hawaii has…

I Was Scared, Shocked, and Unsure But None Of That Mattered…
MomJonz is excited to have a guest blogger. A DAD! Yes, let’s hear from Joel about his adventure into parenthood. Joel is a motivator, and I must say that he makes me rethink my purpose in life often. I’m 34 years old and for the…well…countless amount of times, I have a confession to make. Just like Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, I am a father. This may not come as a shock to you but for someone who, up until his 30th birthday was still unsure as to whether or not he wanted to be one, it is a shock.

Meet Carlos The Maltese

Carlos is our crazy little Maltese that we rehomed while stationed in Japan. He was 5 months old when he came to live with us.

Crazy 8 and Kidz Bop Bring Great Fashion and Music To Your Kids
Being the mother of Fashion Diva Girl is a tough job sometimes. This girl believes in looking FABULOUS at ALL times! There are days I just want her to wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, call it a day and go to school. Nope! In her mind, she should wear something glamorous each and every day. There are a few wins, but she will still add a blinged-out headband or something.

The Sweet Sound Of Summer
Do you remember that sweet jingle from the ice cream truck? Oh, yes! That sweet sound of summer came ringing through my door this afternoon. My kids were outside playing with Teddy and Carlos when Fashion Diva Girl (was Sassy Frass and then Debo) came running inside screaming the ice cream truck was coming up the street.

My All Time Favorite Pencil For Back-To-School
********Updated August 2020******** No matter what grade your child is entering, they MUST use a pencil. You can get away with not sending a binder or backpack (I highly recommend sending a backpack, though. ‘Cause they usually send home lots of important papers) on the first day. However, it’s a wise idea to send at least one pencil and notebook.

He’s Going To Pass Out
We are on our first vacation of the summer. Between Sassy Frass and Carlos, they are going to drive me insane before our first full week. Neither will sit down! Let me set the scene for you. It’s HOT! The temperatures are high 90’s and we’re in the good ‘ole volunteer state. Sassy loves sitting out on the porch; that’s totally understandable. Carlos loves walking around the yard and then plopping down in the hottest spot in the garden. The next thing you know, both of them are running around the yard nonstop. Now Sassy has a bloody nose and Carlos is barely able to walk and breath, but he…
