How many times have you picked your child up from daycare, your in-laws or your parents and he starts to act out? Whining. Throwing a fit. Not listening.
We live for family vacations.
Have you heard of the summer slide? We’re not talking about that kid-favorite playground equipment. We’re talking about when kids experience educational loss during the summer break, also known as the summer slide.
My husband broke a plate yesterday.

My day starts at 5:15 am. My alarm goes off and I roll out of bed and right into my workout clothes and head to the basement for my morning workout.
Many parents, including me, often talk about wanting their kids to be passionate about something. So, we expose them to many different things hoping that something will catch their attention and light a fire within them.
I find myself in shock every time I hear of someone I know, someone my age, passing away. Death doesn’t feel like something someone my age has to consider. I feel saddened and angry, as though they have been robbed of some of the best years of their lives. Every time I see an obituary for someone I once knew, I find myself wondering if they were happy with the life they lived. I wonder if they would have had regrets or had wishes of a different life. I wonder about the void they are leaving in this world. I wonder about the people they leave behind and what those people would say about them.
Baked raspberry donuts paired with an awesome story sounds like a fun afternoon to me! I am such a fan of Laura Numeroff books. IF YOU GIVE A DOG A DONUT is written in the irresistible tradition of the “If You Give…” series. The boy in the story gives the dog a donut which leads him into asking for some apple juice. When he asks for more and there isn’t any, he wants to make his own. The apple reminds him of a baseball, so of course he wants to play! One thing leads to another, and much like motherhood, the list of his needs continues on and on until the story comes full circle (and the little boy is exhausted)!
If you’re a mom, you’ve been there. Your normally sweet, loving child does or says something that makes you want to sink into the floor. The good news is, you aren’t alone. Kids have been embarrassing their mothers since the beginning of time. And bonus, you’re collecting awesome stories to share at their wedding (it’s always so much funnier after the fact, right?). Read on for a collection of real-life Embarrassing Mom Moments!
