Accessories Not To Forget
By Mommie | December 18, 2008
A few things to think about this Christmas season!! Don’t forget the accessories like:
1. Batteries - Come on now, the thing has to be able to run
2. Games - I was suprised that many gaming systems don’t come with at least one game, so definitely get a game to go with it.
3. Holders - If you’re going to get a phone, you’ll need a way to carry it!
4. Flash memory- Come on now, you have to have this for cameras and computers. Trust me, you’ll need them!

Christmas Shopping Done
By Mommie | December 18, 2008
I’m happy to report that our Christmas shopping is officially done for this year. I was actually done about a week ago, but we were still waiting to get some of the items in the mail, as the end of my shopping was all done online. I can honestly say that most of the presents were fairly straight forward, no silk ties in the bunch. Now it’s off to wrapping all of them. I remember when that used to be fun, but it’s definitely more of a chore now! Ugh.

The Fine Line Between Making Your Child Eat and Insanity
By Mommie | December 17, 2008
Up until a few months ago, I had been blessed with a daughter that would pretty much eat anything.
But then something changed. Every morning she would procrastinate to the point to where she didn’t really get anything to eat before school. I had it in my head that she HAD to eat breakfast (I still hold this belief by the way!). It’s the most important meal of the day not only for regular brain purposes, but it jump starts your whole body. Well, she just wouldn’t eat, which in turn would make me just mad every morning. It’s never good to start out your day by being mad every single day! I was on the verge of insanity every morning, so where is the line? Where is the line between getting her to eat and insanity?

Should Anthony Get Death Penalty?
By Mommie | December 16, 2008
If you didn’t already know all about this, there is this woman named Casey Anthony who “supposedly” decided to kill her 2 (almost 3) year old daughter, Caylee. This has been plastered all over the news for months. Her daughter was gone for a month before she said anything, of course saying that her daughter was kidnapped. Months of searching went by, when finally someone found the remains of her daughter about a mile from Casey’s parents house. I didn’t think this information would effect me, but then I had a dream about Casey. People were doing an old fashioned stoning in my dream. So does she deserve the death penalty?

How Hard Is It To Work At Home Blogging?
By Mommie | December 15, 2008
Mommies Home.net has been up and running for over a year now. It started out as something to keep me busy during my days but has turned into much, much more. Now my goal is to try and make a decent part-time income not only blogging on Mommies Home.net, but also adding my two cents to many of the work-at-home opportunities that present themselves. But how hard is it to actually work at home blogging? Read the rest of this entry »

Birthday Over and What Did I Learn?
By Mommie | December 13, 2008
We just finished up our daughters seventh birthday party a few hours ago. We tried to keep it quick this year, if you’ve ever been to a kids birthday party with no end then you’ll know the reason why. We cleaned most of the morning (my husband cleaned last night and this morning, thanks dear) in anticipation of having 28 people in our home. We left an hour and a half for everyone to get there, open presents, eat cake and ice cream and letting the kids play. All worked out well. But when it was over I was saddened by my kids response…

Why He’s Not Getting An iPhone
By Mommie | December 13, 2008
My husband is the type of man that wants the coolest, most expensive gadgets, no matter what. He’s always been that way. I always tell him he can’t have A, B or C, basically because there isn’t room in our budget for his toy tastes. So for Christmas this year, all he really wants is an iPhone. I’m not caving this year and here’s why…

Pregnancy Update - 29 Weeks
By Mommie | December 11, 2008
I had my most recent prenatal visit yesterday. Things look fine I guess. I had my glucose test and my anemia test, so I’m awaiting the results of those tests. I do have a suspicion that I will have gestational diabetes. My sister had it when she was pregnant and this pregnancy has been filled with sugar cravings I have no control over. While I shouldn’t worry, I still seem to. I should have the test results today or tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »

Great Gift Idea
By Mommie | December 11, 2008
It seems like we have more and more kids to buy for every year. (It could be because we, ourselves, keep having children!) But it’s getting harder and harder to find good gifts. I actually don’t like buying toys, even though that’s what we end up buying about 95% of the time. In my experience, kids don’t play with the toys enough to justify the cost, so it’s a short lived thrill for the Christmas season. But here’s an idea that I thought was great… Read the rest of this entry »

Yet Another Entrecard Virus
By Mommie | December 10, 2008
Yes, yes, I was stricken with another virus from an Entrecard site today. This time it happened on my laptop. I still can’t figure out which site it’s coming from, due to how I drop cards. So that’s two viruses in less than 5 days. Great. This puts quite a damper on everything, from posting to my own site to visiting my fav’s on a daily basis.
Please be careful when dropping cards!
