Spring Cleaning the Bedroom – Part 5

When you walk into your bedroom, do you feel like you have entered a sanctuary? Or does it feel more like chaos, with stuff all over the place? Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to make your bedroom what it should be, a place that you can feel comfortable entering at the end of a long day. It should be a place where you can receive a good night’s rest. Clutter and chaos take away from that. As I have been sharing in my other spring cleaning blogs, the best way to tackle any room is to clear it out … Continue reading →

The Bedroom Situation

Does each child need their own bedroom? When you’re buying or building a home one important consideration is the number of bedrooms and whether you want each child to have their own bedroom or expect them to share a room. As an only child I always had my own room and I liked to be able to go there to read or as I grew older to play music. My husband grew up sharing a room with his brother. It wasn’t a large room. Basically all it got used for was sleeping or maybe lying on the bed reading, as … Continue reading →

Bed Wars

I’ve written about dominance before — alpha dogs and omega dogs especially. And a few weeks ago, I mentioned how the balance of power in my four-legged family was shifting. For a long time now, we’ve had Bed Wars. Let me set the scene. (A black sky, white stars sparkling. Text scrolls upwards, a la Star Wars.) A long time ago, in a bedroom far, far away, two dogs were at war over a very important piece of territory: the bed. He (or she) who ruled the bed ruled the universe. The bed was a land of great prosperity and … Continue reading →

Oh The Ways That They Play

As your toddler grows, he or she can learn to play in different and more challenging ways. Teaching toddlers basic games like tag or hide and seek is a fun way to play together and help your toddler learn new things. The other day, I laughed so hard as I started teaching Dylan how to play hide and seek. First of all, it is so cute to hear him counting, even though the numbers are not quite in the right order. Also, since it takes time to learn how to play a new game, he was having a little trouble … Continue reading →

FHE with Small Children-Pioneer Day

Posted on by

So, Sunday, I had the opportunity to teach sharing time in my ward. The topic was honesty, yet with pioneer day being two days away, I wanted to do something to talk about the pioneers too. I of course went to sugardoodle to look for ideas and I came across a great one to tell stories about pioneer children that were being honest. It was a great lesson. You can find that link here. The kids loved this idea so much that I thought it would make a great FHE lesson too. I decided to make a campfire for our … Continue reading →

Today Was a Great Day

The past few weeks have been a little crazy around here. Bringing a newborn home is a challenging time for parents, and when there is a toddler involved the challenge is even greater. A period of adjustment is to be expected, and every toddler will react differently to his or her new brother or sister. Although we tried to prepare Dylan for the arrival of his baby brother, he has had some trouble adjusting to our new family situation. What has been especially hard for him is sharing his Mommy with another person who has very big needs. While the … Continue reading →

Gone in a Flash

Do you ever look at your child and marvel at their innocence? Do you wonder how fast the time has gone since they were babies? I do all the time. I think it’s a natural part of parenting. Yet, we often want them to grow up. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought, “Oh I can’t wait until he can walk” or “I can’t wait until she is school” or “I can’t wait until they can fix their own lunch” I say these things all. the. time. We love our kids, but raising little ones is hard. It’s time … Continue reading →
