Don’t You Do It
School is almost out for the summer. Kids are excited about sleeping in and not having homework. We’re excited too, but know that at week two we’ll be ready to send everyone back to school. So, what do we do as parents to keep the kids from driving us insane? Schedule summer activities to keep the kids busy! Cause allowing a little boredom in their life is horrible…..come on ladies. Say it with me, ” DON’T OVER SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD’S SUMMER BREAK!”

#1 Bible For Kids
Something exciting happened to me today. You see, I had this article scheduled to write Monday, November 26. It didn’t happen. Then I planned to write it Tuesday. It didn’t happen. So, today came, and I had to get it done. The day started like any other day, my husband’s alarm going off, my alarm going off and hitting snooze five times. Yes, I have it planned, so I’m able to hit snooze five times before getting up. My husband tells me just to set the alarm for a later time. Hmmm….no.

Picky Eaters – You Gonna Learn Today My Darling
Welcome to another one of MomJonz’s quick question and answer sessions! So, do you have a child that refuses to eat the meals you cook? Are you just done and over it? Remember, you’re aren’t alone. Your child also isn’t the first and most definitely will NOT be the last to be a picky eater. When our girls were young and started being the picky little eater I wanted to beg and plead for her to eat. You see I said her (singular), cause after that first rodeo it was for the birds. There wasn’t going to be any begging and pleading for the next two.

God’s Great Love Book Giveaway
When my girls were younger, I always looked for bright and cheery books for them to enjoy. As a Christian family, we also wanted to find storybooks to teach them about God’s Great Love. We wanted the same colorful and bright books. Cause you know, kids like bright and fun colors. Even though my children are older, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to participate in a review and a GIVEAWAY of a book written by respected Pastor Rick Warren, a #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Be A Ray Of Sunshine For Others
Self-esteem is how we feel about our self, but we can help other’s boost their self-esteem as well. This post will talk about ways we can encourage our children to help a friend, classmate or teammate improve their self-esteem. Yes, your child can assist in enhancing self-esteem in the classroom. About a year ago my daughter came home talking about a child in her class. She shared a story about this kid every day. The gist of the story was always the same. This kid was always saying such negative things about herself, to and about others. I asked my daughter if she ever talked to the child. Her response,…

Kids Do NOT Listen
Don’t feel alone wondering if your child(ren) ever listens to you. Or better yet, wondering if they think before they act? OMG! For the life of me, my three live on planet Pluto. Wait, Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Anywho…….. It’s proven, kids live in their own world, and kids do NOT listen. We do the SAME thing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Why I repeat myself I will never know. Yeah, some of you are already thinking, “They are just kids!” Yeah, yeah. They are just kids, but they will make you lose your mind. When do we start holding them accountable for not following simple, basic instructions?

A Mom’s Trip Down Memory Lane Of Toys For 3 Years Olds
As we explore our new neighborhood, I see a lot of little preschoolers. This got me thinking about all the fun toys my kids played with at this age. My mind goes into overdrive each and everyday thinking of all the favorite toys for 3 years olds. And of course, I had to ask my kids what their favorite toys were at age 3. I’m not sure if they really remembered or not, but they did chime in.

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…
