This is about a year or so too late for my gang, although I still cut up their apples after school because they prefer it that way and also because they do get wiggly teeth that make it hard to bite into apples.
But I cannot be alone when I say; I have no idea how many apples I have cut up and continue to cut up, for children, in my lifetime! They’ve come around to eating the peel *yes*. I used to have to core, peel and slice 10 apples, easily a day for my family! Continue reading
I thought you all might find this as helpful as I did!
Relationships and communication with our young people, no matter the stage of growth they are in, can at times seem daunting and confusing.
One moment our children want our love, cuddles, encouragement and support and the next it seems that no matter how we try to approach our children they will have nothing to do with it or us.
Just when you think you’ve mastered the steps of their new and complicated dance the music suddenly changes and you are left feeling left footed, unprepared and clumsy all over again.

Do your children bicker?
Good Lord, help me. Mine do. And I know, I know all kids do. Especially when there are three children in very close age proximity. (been there, done that, this is my second ‘batch’ of them)
But sometimes I am absolutely dumbfounded about the petty (to me) things that my children choose to bicker about.
This quote really made me stop and think for a while.
It’s awesome when these moments happen.
I love being a Mum.
Oh, imagine the possibilities…
XBOX-2/PS3-4/Wii-U plugs, laptop/computer/ipad/ipod/phone chargers/power cords
even hair straighteners and blow dryers, heck even the entire TV!
Is it wrong of me to be excited to see this plan in action and the reaction it will get?
…..it makes a world of difference…..
So I think I’ve hit the jack pot here.
I have been searching far and wide for the right opportunity to score major Mommy of the Year points with my little ones (yes, I want to make my children happy…) and I know, that I have found a winner! My daughter will go absolutely nuts if I present her an orange shaped like this…..
We will be having major quantities of fresh squeezed fruit juices and fruit salad over the next few days while I attempt to create even some kind of semblance to a cat, which is highly unlikely but I’m sure I will score even more Mommy of the Year points (in my own mind anyway) for even attempting this….
Yup it’s one of those days….
HAPPY FRIDAY!
