Happy Mother’s Day to Everyone

May 16, 2006 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I hope Everyone had a fantastic Mother’s Day. I am so blessed to have two wonderful girls. They are the apples of my eye.

Madisyn drew me a picture and said mommy I have a surprise for you. It was in the box that Scott got me my Mother’s Bracelet. (I’ll post picts of the bracelet, it is gorgeous) I opened the box and guess what was in it.. a hamburger from her kitchen set. HAHA. So darn cute. She was so proud of herself.

We also went just mommy and girls to TCBY yogurt place and sat down enjoyed some good ole yogurt. It was definitely fulfilling and ohh so delicious. Even Lyndsee was enjoying herself.

Here’s to all the Mothers :).. Also when you get a chance, most of you know I am a WAHM. Head over to WAHM Talk Radio to listen to a special Mother’s Day Special. You will be glad you did.

Why am I a WAHM

Why am I a WAHM??

My girls are my reason. I love to be woke up each morning with Good Morning Mommy I love you :). Madisyn loves to raise up from bed and come on my side (we co-sleep) to tell me the sun is up time to get up. LOL Then if sissy is not awake she will say I love you sissy time to get up. Sometimes sissy is not a happy camper when this happens.

I love that I get to see all my girls firsts and not someone else. I get to raise them, take outside to play, go on daily activities. Just having fun with my girls. Why wouldn’t I love working at home?

I do not have to slave to my old boss in which I was underpaid. My schedule is set by me, my pay is set my be, and what type of work I do is set by me. My life is grand of being a work at home mom and me being with my girls 24/7. I definitely wouldn’t have it any other way.

Look at these adorable faces.. How could you resist not staying at home and having a dessert as lollipops hehe.

My Sister is my Best Friend

May 8, 2006 by Jennifer 2 Comments

Yesterday I was rocking Lyndsee (my 1 year old) to night night and Madisyn (my 3 year old) said “mommy sissy not go to sleep she play with me”. I said no hun sissy is tired and wants to go nite nite. Madisyn then comes back with but mom she is my best friend and I love her. Is that not priceless?

I love that my girls are close and it melts my heart during the day when they just out of the blue go up and hug each other :). I was worried at first having them so close together, but I wouldn’t change a thing now. They truly are BEST FRIENDS.

Last night I had sat down with Madisyn to have some ice cream and I got up for just a second to get sissy some since she decided she wanted some and what do you know there was Big Sis feeding Little Sis her ice cream. I felt like such a bad mommy for not getting Lyndsee some to start with but never fear Big Sis will definitely look out for her.

It’s such a joy raising my girls. Thank you Lord for giving them to me!

Unlocking Interior Door OH MY…

May 6, 2006 by Jennifer 4 Comments

Yep this was my saga yesterday. My three year old has done this once before but hubby was here to get it opened. Well this time she locked our bedroom door where all the diapers are, where we sleep, take baths. Yes, I was stressing to say the least.

I used a nail and hanger and still couldn’t get it open. This went on for about three hours. Finally, Finally.. my good friend Nan over at Mommy Circle sent me this in IM:

If you’ve locked yourself out of the bathroom, or your toddler has locked themselves in, you will need to know how to open a locked interior door.

Push button locks: The doorknob on the outside of the door has a small hole in it. Find a thick nail or something similar, and push it straight in the hole. You will hear a click, which is the door being unlocked.

Turn button locks: The doorknob on the outside of the door has a small hole in it. In this case you will need to find a small flathead screwdriver which will fit through the hole. Insert the screwdriver straight in, and rotate gently until you feel it slip into position with the notch. Turn the screwdriver, using pressure to make sure you turn the inside bolt as well. You will hear a click, whish is the door being unlocked. If turning the screwdriver doesn’t seems to work one way, try it the other direction.

If a screwdriver won’t work eHow Friend Get a credit card to push into the crack of the door right where the latch is located. One of the flimsy, thin, credit cards work best. Bank cards could be too thick for this use.

I had a push button door, so it worked like a charm when I used a safety pin alway back. Finally after many tears shed, stressing where we were going to sleep we were in our bedroom at last. We took showers and hit the sack. AHHHH relax and restful sleep it was 😉

Mommy No Those are My Clothes

May 4, 2006 by Jennifer 1 Comment

I was just talking to a good friend online and we were talking about our kids. I was telling her how Madisyn has a meltdown with I dress my 1 year old Lyndsee.

See Lyndsee is wearing Madisyn’s baby clothes and Madisyn remembers them. When I dress Lyndsee, Madisyn says mommy but those are my clothes and starts crying wanting them back. We have to reassure her, that it is ok. She is a bigger girl now and she like a good big sister passed on her clothes to Lyndsee.

After a bit she is ok, but isn’t it funny how kids react to certain things 🙂
