Slurping Life

Craving Hugs and Ice Cream

Aren't we all?

If you have hugs or ice cream to spare, come over...and bring your own spoon.

Hindsight

A word of encouragement from a mom who's done it both ways...

When I became a mother, we were a young couple and finances didn't allow for me to stay at home with our son. I was never happy with that situation. In hindsight he was fine. He was a well-rounded, happy child and is today an exemplary young man.

Fast forward.

As a SAHM I have been there for every little thing [and challenges which rock my world] with our younger three sons. They are well-rounded, happy children and will most likely be exemplary young men.

Whether you work outside the home or are a stay-at-home mom, the fact is that because you love your child, you make it all good...and your child knows it.

The photo is of one of  those dig in the sand, crawl in the sand, walk away from the sand cause I'm fourteen and my brothers are dorks moments that warms my heart.

Are you sharing a photo this best shot Monday?

If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.

No Nutritional Value Friday

Being a homeschooling family has perks other than wearing pajamas all day.  Another is that as the mom, teacher and lunchroom lady I am permitted certain powers...one of those happens to be declaring no nutritional value Friday. Every Friday the boys are allowed to have a lunch of their choosing as long as the ingredients are in-house.

Today's lunch of choice was cream cheese and jelly [albeit all fruit, all natural] sandwiches, potato chips, apple slices, chocolate chip cookies drizzled with chocolate sauce and washed down with milk.  Yes, the apple and milk are deviants from the no nutritional value theme, but it was their choice.

Sometimes you've got to chill and enjoy the junk in life.

Have a happy no nutritional value Friday. It's not just for kids, you know.

See you here tomorrow for SOOC Saturday.

Earthy Delights

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.” ~~E.E. Cummings

Every day

do at least one thing

which helps cleanse or sustain our planet

so children

may

walk barefoot along water's edge at sunset

and

poke a stick at fresh goose poo.

Help keep the world

mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

Earth Day 2009
