I'm Back! Post #1 of ??

Well, it's been a while...I have been meaning to get back to my blog for quite a while but there always seems to be something else that comes up or fills my time. So tonight, since Crowdtap is down for maintenace, I thought I would share some of my answers to the discussions they have had sponsored by Fishful Thinking (http://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf#!/FishfulThinking) in the discussions in Crowdtap - which here is a link if you are interested in joining! It's free and I have been a member, with no catch, for about two months now. I have gotten selected for two of Old Navy's sample shares in which I got a free pair of jeans along with three of my sisters - and then just this last week I was able to pick up my free dress from Old Navy as well as three of my sisters. I've also made over $80 in amazon.com money which is quite nice! :)  Like I said they are currently down for maintenance, but copy this link and try it! :) http://bit.ly/fJDdV8

I really enjoy these discussions because it's a bunch of mom's sharing about the challenges and joys of parenting. I was lucky to be able to listen to a webinar by Dr. Reivich in which I refer to in a couple of my answers. She shared about being a present parent and some helpful ways to easily incorporate that in each of our families/lives. I didn't want to lose all the things I shared, so I thought I'd put them in my blog, and get this thing updated per my sister & cousin's request - two birds with one stone so to say.

We are also doing a parenting study in our church's Community Group. I am so eager to learn how to be the best mom I can be. All of this is perfect timing for me. So without further delay, here are some of answers - and there's a lot here....Maybe I'll put them in a few different posts....Here goes!! Oh and here's a cute photo of the boys playing in the backyard yesterday - when it was actually sunny! :)
