Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Getting Princess to each her veggies is like trying to win the lottery. Trying to prepare a meal that everyone will enjoy is just as difficult. I find myself making the same thing over and over again. The other day, I happen to be in the pasta aisle and came across orzo. It’s pasta that resembles rice….
If you ask Princess who her favorite Disney Princess is, she’d probably say Aurora. The other day all the girls were asked to dress as Princesses, and all the boys as pirates.

I can’t front. There are times when I fantasize about being a stay-home-mom. How hard can it be? All you have to do is feed them, change their diapers, and put them down for nap time. You also have to make sure they don’t hurt themselves or destroy the house. Think that’s easy? Think again!…

I’ll just do a simple braid to fulfill her request. I may even get a little fancy and braid it off to the side like…
It’s become a routine. I wake up in the morning, get the kids fed and dressed, then we hit the road. On our way to school we sing songs and play animal clouds before our arrival. I juggle multiple bags with the two kids in tow. We usually drop Princess off first, and then Baby…
