Day Forty Nine. Revenge Of The Sugar Demon.

non GMO journal

Day Forty Nine.

 

Can I just say living with small children in a world surrounded by sugary treats, packaged in boxes plastered with their favorite TV and movie characters is SO HARD. Not to mention all the super cute birthday parties they go to with cakes, cupcakes, cookies and candy all begging for them to consume them…in large quantities. Drive through fast food chains with bright colored signs and the most fun looking playgrounds conveniently placed right in the front of the store, and do not forget all those toys they “give” you in a kids meal. Marketing to kids does not stop there. It continues to toothpaste, soaps, lotions and even medication. My kids are bombarded daily with reminders that we “eat differently” now and it has been a source of constant discussion to “why” we cannot eat this or buy that. Topping the list off my son…

So When Are YOU Having Another Kid?

lowdramamama

Kindly note that that is not me in the photo. It is some mama model using the best baby carrier ever made.    Sweet picture. Makes we want another baby. 

NOT YET.

Can’t have another baby while our baby is still a baby!  I understand spacing wee ones closely- since biology can seem powerful and undeniable, except for Hollywood actresses.  I understand how excellent sibling relationships can be with smaller age gaps.

Having had Mellow Little Person at 34 makes me a babe in the woods in Manhattan, where first babies are common for women who are 40 and over. Waiting, really any amount of waiting, might mean I am pushing our luck– our timeline tentatively places currently imaginary future kid somewhere past my 37th birthday.

Oh, don’t worry, I know we can’t really plan this plan. So, world, why do you ask us when…

Big boy room

Good.

Underwood Days

I have a four (almost five) year old boy with opinions.  It’s so fun and interesting to hear his thoughts on things.   And his bedroom… his bedroom is no exception!  When we get home decor magazines in the mail Jameson will actually go through them and circle things he likes.

We had a lot to work with from his former bedroom which I intentionally made a boys room vs a toddler look.  So..the last couple weeks I’ve been painting and pulling things still from boxes.  I’m hoping this helps my boy feel more at home here.  My favorite new thing we added was a light fixture I found on Etsy.  Jameson says ” I think it’s good, mom”.  

(Excuse the bad phone photo.  it’s the only one I snapped beforehand.)

The most time consuming thing about setting up both the kids room has been painting the trim.  …

Teaching our children LOVE

Nice.

beingusblog's Blog

“Mommy, I love you.” These are pretty mupch the sweetest words a mom will ever hear. And it’s not just the words that melt your heart, but the sweetness and energy and mushy eyes that accompany them. It is as natural as breathing for children to love. But how can we as parents let our love pour out as radiantly as theirs to let them bask in its warmth and light? And how can we cherish and nourish their love, which is stronger than a diamond yet tender as a butterfly?

Couples in my master’s thesis research helped me learn about love’s central role in what I called “the virtue cycle.” Basically, when we live virtues (commendable qualities) in relationships, we are showing thoughtfulness and love. Love increases the more we live virtues and the object of our affection often interprets virtuous actions as displays of love (which they often…
