Fighting the Daily Battles of Mommy dom
Our next activity on our crusade to enjoy the Las Vegas Strip, and not spend too much, was the Linq High Roller Observation Wheel. As we loaded the Observation wheel we were greeted by several video screens displaying some schematics and messages about the Observation wheel. Also, some helpful information was shared, so it was good to pay attention to …
Las Vegas is always hot in the summer. It doesn’t matter what time of day, it is hot. But, the time of year most people travel is the summer. So, the next place we checked out on the Strip was a nice air conditioned garden. Yes, a beautiful, indoor garden with fountains and topiaries. It was tranquil and cool and …
Staying up late at night just to watch the newest Tinkerbell Movie not only happens, but is enjoyable. I noticed the other day that the newest Tinkerbell movie “Pirate Fairy” was out on Netflix. I was sincerely excited. I had over the past few months watched snippets of the movie several times. The movie would be on at a friend’s …
Note: Sunday has always been a day to slow down, take stock¸ and reflect on life. For my family, Sunday is a day to worship God and draw closer to Him. So, on Sunday’s I like to write more reflective posts. Every life takes twists and turns. Looking back, there are definite points where decisions were …
Just wondering, how many of you play fetch with your kids? Yes, I said kids. I love playing fetch. And I don’t mean “fetch me this, please”. I mean honest-to-goodness fetch with a ball and a child.

I think, too, what is defined as good sleep deteriorates as children are added to the mix. Come to mention it, I don’t think I’ve had regular good sleep in almost 10 years. True, for the past 9 …
First, I like my kids to play, whether it’s outside or with toys inside. I like them to play. I like the give and take, compromising, and problem solving involved in playing together. I also like the imagination and enthusiasm sparked by playing together with a really good toy. I am not a fan of media usage in large doses. …
I like to bake. I like to make sweet things to eat. Healthy cooking is great, but sometimes you need some good old fashioned comfort food. I like the memories that come from baking with my kiddos. I like watching my kids’ pride at making something everyone enjoys. I like to eat the sweet things that are made. If I’m …
My family likes to go to Easter egg hunts. It’s fun to see the different approaches people take when they host an Easter egg hunt, so we usually go to three or four a year. Crazy, I know. But this last year, something even more crazy happened at one of these Easter egg hunts. This hunt was the last hunt …
Do you know my favorite time of day? Cuddle time with my kiddos. Yep, that’s right. I live for that time when my kids slow down, the day slows down, and I get to hold their little bodies for a moment. Maybe we watch a movie, maybe we read a book, or maybe we just talk; but, for a few …
