be the best mother I can be

We are getting out more as a family. Before I started trying to get healthy it just seemed easier to stay home most of the time. Our oldest son has also started kindergarten this year. The other kids and I really miss him during the school day. We have been making the time with each other a lot more special for a while now. Life is good. Now we are working on teaching him to read :)

I am reading 1 2 3 Magic and it has helped me a lot! I am going to stick with this as it makes life more fun for all of us.

I made time to do someting special with my boys today. We baked cookies together. I think they will be talking about it for awhile. I never imagined how amazing unwrapping some butter, measuring some sugar and using a mixer could be. My kids are truly amazing every single day! Something so simple to me was exciting because of them.

I want to plan for more artistic activities for my boys. I am going to try to plan at least one artistic (the messier the better) activity every two weeks. This weekend we can finger paint out on the patio and then rinse off in the kiddy pool or bath tub if its not hot enough.
