Being a Momma

Being A Mom is the most important job you will ever do. A day’s work in the life of a mom cannot be measured by stacks of paper, trophies won or products sold. At the end of each day, you find that there are still dirty diapers to be changed, mouths to feed and floors to clean. However, in between all these tasks that seem, at times, to be mundane, there is an incredible sense of joy that accompanies motherhood. Join with us, as we take pride and pleasure in the simple smile of a child. From entertaining, to strictly applying discipline, we would like to walk with you through this journey, in hopes of offering some ideas, tips, hope... and maybe even a giggle or two.

Reading is fun!

It is so much fun to have a reader in our household! (almost two readers: Andi is good at sounding out words, but not great at reading long sentences). It has opened up the door for more communication, and more fun communication. Carter and I like to play hangman; this is especially fun at church. It's easy for me to point at letters while still listening to a speaker. I can leave Carter notes in his room, especially encouraging ones. Just the other day I left a sticky note on his dresser telling him thanks for folding his clothes so nicely (we've been working on that). He in turn left me a note in the kitchen. He can also read a book to a younger sibling while I am fixing dinner. He is amazing at reading scriptures at night and sounding out those hard biblical terms. It seriously brings a tear to my eye to listen to him. I also like to leave an occasional note or joke in his lunchbox. I found cute jokes you can print out here. I love my little reader! Do you have any fun things you like to do with your reader?
