Summer Time as a Stay-At-Home Mom

July 6, 2018 By Kristin Leave a Comment

Summer Time as a Stay-At-Home Mom

Summer time.  A time for vacation, relaxation in the sun and warm nights on the patio. A time for dirty feet from playing barefoot all day in the green grass followed up with catching lightning bugs in the evening.  The time of the year we can all grill out with friends, stay up a little later and… [Read More]

The day my kids gave each other haircuts

The day my kids gave each other haircuts

My youngest two kids were in the front yard playing by their favorite tree. It’s a nice crab apple tree that’s easy for them to climb.  I asked if they would stay out front for a few minutes so I could take care of a large ant mound I found in the backyard. They agreed.  We… [Read More]

The day I ate a bug

The day I ate a bug

Yep. You read that correctly. My kids dared me to do it and I ate a BUG! It really wasn’t even that gross. Okay, it was a little gross.  Let me give you some background. We took a family outing to the Discovery Place in Uptown Charlotte.  My husband and I firmly believe that children learn best… [Read More]

The Ultimate Banana Bread Recipe

The Ultimate Banana Bread Recipe

I have the ultimate banana bread recipe. This recipe was passed down to me from my mom but I have tweaked it to make it my own. It’s the best use of brown bananas (besides freezing them for a smoothie) and the chocolate chips make it a perfect treat. This recipe makes 2 loaves. I… [Read More]

Quick and easy holiday party dishes

It’s that time of the year where holiday parties rule our calendar. Typically it’s customary to bring either a beverage for the hosts or a dish to pass around at these holiday gatherings. I used to freak out and spend hours scouring the internet for the perfect recipe that was simple yet delicious. I didn’t… [Read More]

Guns and my first grader – how much do we share?

Guns and my first grader – how much do we share?

The other day my first grader came home from school and excitedly told me about recess and how she was hanging out with her girlfriends. Then she said, “My friend told me they have a gun at their house. It’s just in case a bad guy comes in and she can’t see or touch it…. [Read More]

Transitions: New City; New School

Transitions: New City; New School

I read somewhere the other day that 12% of Americans move each year. Last month, we fell into that statistic as we moved 800 miles south from CT to NC. We are almost settled in our new house and are starting to meet our neighbors and catch up with our friends we left behind five… [Read More]

The crushing blow of “I Can’t”

The crushing blow of “I Can’t”

At the park my three kids run, climb, jump and play as most kids do.  I like watching them as they test their own limits and discover new capabilities. My oldest daughter has been practicing the monkey bars and can do them very well now. My son enjoys climbing & jumping off things, which make me nervous at times. He is… [Read More]

Daily obstacles of a SAHM

Being a stay-at-home mom is a wonderful thing. I love that I am able to be at home with my children. I love watching them grow and figure out things for themselves. But it’s definitely not as easy as I thought it would be. Most days are full of interruptions. There are days I can… [Read More]

Growing a garden with your children

Growing a garden with your children

“Mom, where does the grocery store get all the fruit and vegetables?” asked my oldest daughter one afternoon. I explained how it comes from different farms that sell to the grocery store and then the grocery store sells it to us. “Huh.” she said, pondering it for a minute.  “Think we could grow vegetables and fruit… [Read More]
