What’s good for the family…

By Elise | Published: March 13, 2012

I’m a big fan of falling asleep to PBS programming.  Television in the bedroom is bad Feng Shui, but ever since my head injury I haven’t cared that much.  Droning documentaries and Bob Ross help me fall asleep.  As far as I’m concerned, momma with more sleep is good for the family. Speaking of which, [...]

Body Acceptance

By Elise | Published: March 6, 2012

I LOVE being older.  Not that 37 is all that old or anything, but my poor daughter is so critical of her body and the natural changes she is going through as she approaches teendom.  It makes me cry. Heck – I’ll walk around in a bikini showing everyone my cellulite without batting an eyelash [...]

Green Living Lessons

By Elise | Published: February 28, 2012

For years, my hubbie and I have lamented throwing away the plastic/nylon netting that clementines, apples, garlic, and some potatoes arrive in.  We kept thinking there must be some amazing use for it, but just could not figure it out. This past weekend, one of my extremely cool neighbors, (I’m so fortunate to have many) [...]

Scary Fish

By Elise | Published: February 27, 2012

Last night, my family had some terrific together time watching Blue Planet and eating snacky supper.  (Cheese, crackers, salami, fruit, veggies etc.  Yum!) The episode was about the deep ocean and all the scary looking creatures that live down there.  I tell you – the hairy angler fish is one ugly fish.  Yikes! I cannot [...]

Uninspired Days

By Elise | Published: February 24, 2012

Do you ever have one of those days where you really, really don’t feel like doing anything? As a momma, there are certain things you must attend to, but beyond that…you could just go to sleep.  Like that? Yes I know – me too. In fact, I’ve been feeling this way for a while now.  [...]

High School Drama

By Elise | Published: February 21, 2012

When I was in my early-twenties, I worked with a lady who attended her 20-year reunion and loved it.  She came back from the weekend pumped about how great it was.  She said everyone was great, and that all of the fake high school drama was gone.  To me, a girl just a few years [...]

Grouchy Children

By Elise | Published: February 16, 2012

The thing about kids is that they are people too.  They have many of  the same needs as everyone else, which include: Needing much more sleep than they get  (Check to see if your kids are getting enough sleep here.) Needing many more hugs than they get Needing people to me much more patient with [...]

Pacifier Intelligence ???

By Elise | Published: February 13, 2012

When I was pregnant with my first child, an co-worker of mine told me a story.  It went something like this: My friend just had a baby, and when she was at the doctor last week for the baby’s 2 month old checkup, the doctor told her that the way the baby was sucking on [...]

Be Kind Anyway

By Elise | Published: February 8, 2012

This poem – written my Mother Teresa – is reportedly inscribed on her children’s home in Calcutta.  It is a wonderful, beautiful, inspiring, and peaceful creation.  Please share to anyone that might need this today. People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of [...]
