Mom of Five and Still Alive: January 2014
http://momof5andstillalive.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Mom of Five and Still Alive. Wednesday, January 15, 2014. The Power of the Snow Day. It never happened again, but my one day of weather-related freedom will forever live in the annals of most awesome days ever. The thoughts that run through my head every time we get that early morning auto-call that informs us of a delay or cancellation go something like this:. It's a snow day! We can sleep in! It's a snow day! Let's skip the morning workout and make cookies instead! It's a snow day! I can't miss out!

Mom of Five and Still Alive: A Christmas Gift
http://momof5andstillalive.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-christmas-gift.html
Mom of Five and Still Alive. Thursday, December 19, 2013. I'm not a great poet. I like poems that rhyme and I get annoyed when I have to dig around for a hidden meaning. So the poem I'm about to share with you will not win any awards. But I like it because it reminds me, as Christmas draws near, to turn my gift-giving inclinations toward Christ. That's why we give gifts at Christmastime anyway, right? It's Christmas time again. A time of giving and cheer. You've bought gifts for friends and family,.

Mom of Five and Still Alive: July 2013
http://momof5andstillalive.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Mom of Five and Still Alive. Saturday, July 27, 2013. I escaped to different areas of the pool several times, only to find that my little ducklings followed me wherever I went. I don't think they did this consciously. They were involved in a make-believe game that didn't include me. But they still wanted to be wherever I was. In those moments when you just need a mommy time-out, a good hiding spot is essential. I've tried many over the years and I'm here to share what I've learned. The kids will find you...

Mom of Five and Still Alive. Thursday, May 16, 2013. The Very Hungry Twelve-Year Old. In the style of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle). One Friday afternoon, in eighth period English, an almost-teenaged boy sat slumped in his chair. When he arrived home almost an hour later, he was very hungry. Very, VERY hungry. He started to look for some food. He ate through one Honeycrisp apple. But he was still hungry. He ate through two flour tortillas. But he was still hungry. Now when the very hungry tw...

Mom of Five and Still Alive. Sunday, March 17, 2013. I've held my tongue for as long as possible, but find I can no longer remain silent in good conscience. You have been an exacting house guest these many months and, though I have enjoyed certain aspects. Of your company, I simply must ask that you move on. There are several clues you should be looking for when determining your departure:. When waistlines everywhere have swollen, threatening to burst through the jackets holding them in after months of h...

Mom of Five and Still Alive: October 2013
http://momof5andstillalive.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Mom of Five and Still Alive. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. A Box For Halloween. I have a confession to make: I'm not a big fan of Halloween. (Pause for boos and hisses.) Sure, I like the free chocolate, carving pumpkins, and. My gripe is mainly over costumes. The problem, of course, got worse as we tacked on the kids. I can sew, but I despise it (plus I'm incredibly slow), so sewing my kids Halloween costumes has always been out of the question. You can find anything on the internet. I told him he would j...

Mom of Five and Still Alive: Never Too Old
http://momof5andstillalive.blogspot.com/2014/02/never-too-old.html
Mom of Five and Still Alive. Sunday, February 16, 2014. When I was a girl, there was one thing I wanted with all my heart. Mostly because my best friend had one, but that's beside the point. The thing I wanted was an American Girl Doll. Molly or Samantha, to be precise. Samantha had prettier clothes. But Molly had cooler accessories. It was like a dream. But that's okay. My daughter and I had a truly fantastic day. We spent the next day giving her new doll (the one she'd saved up her own money to...View ...
