Best Mommy Resources!

To all mommies...who wake up at all hours of the night with sick kids, carpool all day long, and barely have time to get dressed in the morning. This is for you! When I started this blog, I decided to list some great mommy resources in the lower right column of our blog. Products, services, or books that practically saved my life in the early years with my kids. I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter and 2 year old son. (I still have a long way to go...I'll be adding to the list!) My daughter was a dream come true and slept through the night at 7 weeks and never looked back. My son, on the other hand, was a whole other story. Had infant reflux at 6 weeks up to a year... and finally slept through the night at 8 months! So, along the way I've learned a couple of things and I love to help others when I can. Please check out my "Best Mommy Resources" list on this blog. They are links to the products/services that are described...and believe me...they are wonderful and work! The list includes a book to help expecting mothers pick their baby shower registry...all the way up to how to keep your toddler in his/her crib longer! I hope you enjoy and let me know if any of these help you! Also, let me know if you have any other "Best Mommy Resources" to add!

Mom's Rule!

my kids...Rodeo time in Texas!

Sock Monkeys Rule! Especially ones from Canada!

OK, my new obsession is sock moneys! These adorable, funny, silly, little handmade lovies made out of socks are irresistable. I'm featuring one of my favorite sellers...Tweeling on Etsy in the spirit of the Olympics. I ordered the most lovely little sock monkey named "Heather" for my daughter and son. And fyi...don't buy just 1 sock monkey for two children, BIG MISTAKE! I'm going to have to buy another soon. Anyway...I really bought her for myself...but she has now been officially adopted by my 2 yr old son Matthew who blurts out "I want my monkey" several times a day and we go running to find her. "Heather" came from Canada, where Tweeling is from...and she arrived within a week or so in perfect condition with a cute little tag describing herself and what she likes to do..."play dress-up." I encourage every family with children to buy one of these darling handmade sock monkeys. As Tweeling says..."I think that everyone is an individual and that children should be encouraged to be individuals. So if you have a one of a kind kid (or grownup for that matter) at home why not consider getting them a one of a kind gift!"

Here are some precious ones for sale right now...Pat and Primrose!
