So, I only worked Wednesday through Friday this past week... so maybe a 3-day work week is what everyone needs! But in the past two weeks I have decided that an afternoon break around 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. is made perfect with toddler MegaBlocks. Every office should have them. I want to be clear that … Continue reading What Every Office Needs

Attack the Apples
Have you ever heard your breakfast food cry out for help? It does!! We had apple, eggs, ham, and grapes for breakfast the other morning. The cry of Uriah's food started in low, but it steadily grew as each food item on his plate was conquered. The finally cries came from the apples - loud … Continue reading Attack the Apples
In the rearview mirror…
Life has its moments where you want to hold on to anything not moving and hope that everything else around you will stop spinning. Within the span of nine days our house sold, my husband interviewed, accepted a job, and we loaded a moving truck. In that order. A few days after the moving truck … Continue reading In the rearview mirror…
More silly moments.
Upon this day my ability to make one more decision was limited... especially when I had not yet had a thought about lunch and Uriah was already standing at the refrigerator begging for food. So, I did what any great Mom would do - I let him decide what was going to be on the … Continue reading More silly moments.
Organizing… the basement?
Oh dear! How can one thought of organizing the basement lead to nearly every room in the house... In July, I had my dad help me re-arrange our speakers so that the cabinets would be freed to use in our master bedroom. The Living Room is now not quite as heavy looking, and I can now … Continue reading Organizing… the basement?
Gross Factor Moments
Another silly moment in the Haxton household... It had been a few weeks since we had the last group of people over for a party. My son was playing on one of his "missions" which today took him to the intriguing, mysterious cave world of what is know to adults as only the "place under … Continue reading Gross Factor Moments
Oh my Goodness….
It's here! Christmas is here the end of the work day, my last work day before Christmas! (My sympathies to those who have to work over Christmas.) I have one work errand to run and then it is off to make a birthday cake for Jesus... something my little guy gives a great big excited … Continue reading Oh my Goodness….
What are you busy with?
Schedules have become so full it is crazy! My husband came home last night having found a recent article about bedtime stories: In a new poll, only 13 percent of British moms said they read a story to their children every night, even though three-quarters recalled being read to on a daily basis when they … Continue reading What are you busy with?
Family – the Change Agent
Family is important. In family, we learn how to love and relate to others. Our wall of family pictures reminds us to pray, encourage and stay in contact with our extended family. Family is the foundational block for learning what life is all about. In teaching my son about the world around him, I want … Continue reading Family – the Change Agent
A Book About Me…
Creating a book about a child is based on a basic theme and adapted to reflect each child. There are lots of places where you can create a book that is personalized, but very few where you can create a book that is original to your child. The "About Me" book can be customized to … Continue reading A Book About Me…
