When you are a few weeks from your due date, the bag packing begins. It is important to also remember a hospital bag for dad.

Video games, sports, and friends are all becoming a big part of your tweens life. All of a sudden, you need to figure out how to connect with your tween on a new level.

Are you tired of having to nag your kids to do their homework, get dressed or stop dawdling? I want to teach self-motivation to my kids which will set them up to be successful in life.
I found myself telling my boys 10 times within 5 minutes to do one simple task and I was over it. How do Tiger Moms get their kids to do their work and chores without becoming a screaming lunatic? These are the things I want to learn so I have researched how other moms teach self-motivation so they don’t have to nag.
According to Dictionary.com, self-motivation is defined as the “initiative to undertake or continue a task or activity without another’s prodding or supervision.” In work, school, and play, self-motivation is an integral part of achieving goals and living a happy, fulfilled life. Self-motivation, like most skills, is one that needs to be taught and nurtured throughout childhood. The following five steps will help improve your child’s self-motivation and assist them as they navigate through their schooling career, as well as into adulthood.
The connection we have with our children is extremely important. A close bond can make all the difference when it comes to their confidence, behavior and their overall well-being. I know when my kids are feeling close with me they are seeking my approval with good behavior which is the goal. If you are seeking out ways to bond with your toddler, you are on the right track.

With 3 kids I have 2 adventurous eaters and one ridiculously picky (going to drive her mom crazy) eater. I noticed a few months ago that we were stuck in a rut of eating the same meals over and over.

If you are like me, every year I like to start at the beginning and make sure I am living a healthy life. As moms, we are known to put ourselves last and I don’t want my health to suffer for it.
My resolutions this year include exercise, healthy diet (that includes a bit of chocolate of course 😉 ) and keeping our house a healthy place. No more resolutions of a certain 10 lb weight loss, this year I want to feel energetic. That is my main goal, More Energy!
