I want sparkle, glitter to matte vinyl sheets. I want them ALL!! If I’m not writing blog posts I’m scouring Pinterest for t-shirt, mugs and hat ideas. Seriously! My Circuit Pinterest board goes on and on!! Alice is forever asking for a certain t-shirt. From last day of Kindergarten to Birthday Girl. Even Disneyland T-shirts! Sometimes she just wants a design.

Relaxation! Why? Where? When? How??
Stress. Everyone has it. It’s dealing with it well…… ya know…… that is stressful as well!! Don’t even get me started on “Mom Guilt” HOLY GUACAMOLE Batman that one goes on forever even when your baby is 37!! Years (not months!!) HOWEVER!!!!!! If we don’t take time out for ourselves the stress is harder to manage; you keep everything bottled up inside until you explode. For me it means yelling at Alice over something so minor that I normally wouldn’t even phase me. There is nothing worse than hurting a little one’s feelings. (ahhhh remember the MOM GUILT!?

I am still struggling to keep her doing an hour of schoolwork a morning but let me tell you; this kid is wicked smart but her penmanship…. well, it did not keep up with her math skills. Writing in a plain notebook gets boring so I headed to Kids Activities Blog (a great site when you have kids!) and printed out several letter worksheets for Alice to practice on. The folks at Shoplet (don’t forget to use Rakuten for 2% back!) once again have PERFECT timing.…
