Being a Momma

Being A Mom is the most important job you will ever do. A day’s work in the life of a mom cannot be measured by stacks of paper, trophies won or products sold. At the end of each day, you find that there are still dirty diapers to be changed, mouths to feed and floors to clean. However, in between all these tasks that seem, at times, to be mundane, there is an incredible sense of joy that accompanies motherhood. Join with us, as we take pride and pleasure in the simple smile of a child. From entertaining, to strictly applying discipline, we would like to walk with you through this journey, in hopes of offering some ideas, tips, hope... and maybe even a giggle or two.

Fun for fall

The kids want to get their Halloween costumes out, but I want to save them, so we made some masks to hold us over until the Halloween partying begins.

Fall is a great time to go outside to look for art projects. We picked some apples to try Randi's idea of stamping with them. My kids loved it. Thanks for the fun idea Randi.
Then we found some leaves to do some color rubbings.

Here is a great Fall recipe from my sister in law Dani.

Pumpkin Pancakes
2 cups flour
3 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin
1 egg
2 tbs veg oil
2 tbs vinegar

So yummy and great for fall.

What an awesome blog. You are a great momma, and you have way good ideas. I will try and contribute, but I'm not very creative. It is really good to share mommy ideas and help our kids be creative. They love learning, but we have to give them new concepts and ideas all the time.

This one I am doing with my class. Paint the bottom of the childs foot with white tempra paint. Stamp it on a piece of black paper. When it dries, put eyes and a mouth on the heel and you have yourself a ghost. Messy, but fun.
