Mom-Stuff Blog Tour 01-18-10

Solo dot momWe are having lots of fun on our Blog Tour. This week we want to introduce you to Katherine at Solo Dot Mom. She has a different set of challenges. She is a single mom with a great sense of honor. I have followed her for some time now and I love to see how she meets her challenges. She juggles her life with grace and laughter. Here is her story in her own words as posted on her site.

That day, 6 years ago, I left the bondage of which I found myself a victim. I left the man whose love had turned into violent jealousy and possessiveness as I became his obsession. That day I became a single mom; even before the papers were signed for the final big D, I stepped out and took that leap… into singlemomhood. Ready or not, there I was. (more…)

Christmas-to-do-lists: Past and Present

It is 2 days until Christmas and I am feeling lost. I have not had a moment like this during the Christmas Season for at least 35 years. I have been mentally going over my Christmas-to-do-list and I do not have a single thing I need to do. This is a very odd feeling for me. I am usually busy until the last minute.

This is what my lists of Christmas Past and this year list look like:

Finding the perfect tree-we had to have a real tree, so this was an all day adventure. Dressing warm. Traveling to the forest. Then Hiking, hiking, and hiking. Finding the perfect tree, cutting the tree down and hauling it home. Letting it drop as it gets warm (this is an important step before decorating) This advent was usually scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving. This year I didn’t even get out the artificial one.

Get The Most From Your School Clothes Budget

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Mom-Stuff Story

Last week while I was visiting my daughter she ask me to help go through her five year old’s clothes to prepare for school shopping.  Going school clothes shopping was always a big deal to my daughter. She is allot more excited than my granddaughter who is just starting kindergarten and has never experienced this tradition. The exercise proceeded like this. Mom sorted the clothes in daughters closet, daughter tried on clothes that were acceptable for school clothes, and grandma hung the acceptable clothes back on hangers. The last step was to match up clothes that could be worn together. After the tedious task was complete, Mom, my daughter had a very saddened look on her face because her daughter didn’t need very many clothes to start school.  She looked like a little girl who had just lost her ice cream scoop from her ice cream cone.  This years school shopping was not going to be as much fun as she had hoped it would be, but the great news, it will also not be as expensive.

This really got me thinking about how this event had come too mean so much to my daughter. (more…)
