Yo-Yo Man by Daniel Pinkwater -- A great story to teach kids when you are having a rough time with something, try to focus on something you can control. Like learning a new skill, maybe a yo-yo. Dear Deer by Gene Barretta -- As a homeschooling mom I am always looking for fun ways to teach subjects. English becomes a bit tough to make fun and intersting. That is what I like when I find books like this, a fun way to teach certain topics in english. This one is all about Homophones.

Admit one thing you feel awful about involving being a mom. Get it off your shoulders. Once you've written it down, you are No Longer allowed to feel bad. It's over with, it's in the past. Remember, you're a good mom!
Oh what to narrow it down to, so much to choose from. I would have to say my patience with the boys. I lose it so quickly during the day, well not every day, but often enough. I am trying to work on that, I think it is getting better.
Step two -- Remind yourself you are a good mom, list seven things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you. These are the things to remind yourself everyday that you Rock!
O.K. Seven between two boys, It won't be easy but I can narrow down all of the things that I love about them to seven things.
1.) The thirst of knowledge that the boys have for everything. They want to learn everything they get their hands on.
2.) Seeing the brotherly love that falls between the two of them.
3.) Watching them dance, it always bring a smile to my face!
4.) When we go to the library, I love how we guide them back to the car because they can not get their nose out of the books.
5.) I love how they always want to help me with cooking.
6.) When we snuggle up and just read.
7.) Of course the number one thing that I love about them the most is their smile and laughter. It is infectious.
Now I need to name 7 other mothers for this award, I wish that I could name all of them because they all deserve this award. Well here are the ones that I chose.
1.) Amber -- even though we tend to miss her here in the blog world, She is an amazing mom. The reason that she is missing so much from blog world is because she is so busy with her children.2.) Yasmina -- It is almost like we have twin boys, just seperated at birth. LOL. I love all of the crafty stuff she does with her kids.
3.) Piseco Mom at Mind Games -- Other than the fact that she has some of the sweetest most adorable little kids to show that she is such a wonderful mom, she does so much for her kids during schooling. I mean come on she did an exam on actual roadkill, what a mom!
4.) Mrs. Darling -- If only I could be as organized as her. She is always on the go with her kids and completes so much with them. She is always offering her advice up on her blog to help out us other moms.
5.) Patricia -- She has twins and takes them out on amazingly fun outings, then shares some beautiful pictures of the events with us.
6.) Amy Sue -- She maintains a house with 3 boys (one is a newborn) and a bunch of bunnies. To keep a house running with that much going on shows how amazing of a mom that she is.
7.) Fairiemom -- She is a great at always trying to find new and intersting ways for her daughter to learn. I have even a learned of a few new fun things for my boys.
These are all amazing moms, make sure to check them out. What I write about them does not do enough justice for them.
