Mom's Babbling

I came across this video on You Tube:

Now after watching this video.. I want to say I am really for extended breastfeeding. I breastfed my girls till they were 18 months and I felt that was the right time for me and them to wean. This is just my own personal opinion. There are several moms that even go to age say 3.5 years old. Which I still see fine if that is best for the mom and child.

This video really got me though seeing a 7 year old and how she is viewing breastfeeding. Getting mad at her mom for putting a bra on? Or drawing photos of her mom’s boobs? This bothers me as I think she is viewing this as her own and wants to soley have them as her own. I’m thinking at this point it is doing more harm to the child than the good. I know kids need to grow some independence and I would say an 7 year old needs to start learning this. Believe me I am a big attachment mom and really attached to my girls. I am JUST now leaving for a hour at a time in the evenings away from my girls to go the gym. I have always been with them 24/7 and we still co-sleep too ;). But I do know they have to grow an independence away from mom and not always depend on me even though I will always want to be there for them 🙂

I’m just afraid this little girl has such a strong attachment that the mom is really hurting her. What are your opinons on this?

Hello.. Knock Knock… winter remember your time was up last week. Yes we are in spring right now.. so that means you need to leave and take the sickies with you please. I know you love our house and just love to stir up trouble and mess up our normal routines. I hate to be harsh, but I am sick of you messing up our routines. Please take some time away and come back oh in another year please and if you don’t mind please be much kinder on our family with the sickies next winter ;).

AHHH… my girls have been sick once again. It was probably going from the 60 degree weather to 20 degrees and snowing. Anyways.. my girls have dealt with sickies enough this past winter season. I am tired of giving them antibiotics and just downright refuse to give them antibiotics anymore. Lyndsee has another severe ear infection and this would be her fifth in 3 months and the 6th time she is on antibiotics. Well in my opinion these antibiotics this time were making her feel so much worse and wrecking havoc on her poor belly. I went with my mommy instincts and going the all natural course this time and letting nature clear the infection up.

I am just not a big fan of filling my children up with medicine. Now if something is seriously wrong of course I would and seek medical attention, but there are times when you have this mommy instinct and when it kicks in watch out!

Here’s to no more sickies for our family and yours 🙂

Lyndsee doesn’t even have to say anything to me….Those eyes tell it all!!

You know with the winter season finally coming to an end and spring fastly approaching, hubby and I have been talking alot about our vacation time. We sat down on the sofa last night with our laptop in hand and started viewing different parts of the country. We came across this site Rocky Point condo rentals and I have to say I am impressed.

We are actually going to stay on our own Coast this year but are talking about venturing out possibly next year or the next to another country and Mexico happens to be on our list. The houses are beautiful and I was highly impressed with their specials they have. For instance

Pay for 2 nights get 3rd night free. Pay for 5 nights get 2 nights free.

Now… being the bargain momma I am.. I like seeing these kind of specials where you get nights free ;). We are definitely keeping this site in our favorites and you know Jen always having to pass on her deals hehe!

Have you ever been out of country on vacation and did you take the kids? Please share your experiences with me 🙂
