Can't Clock Out: January 2014
http://cantclockout.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 18, 2014. Organizing. Your Mail. Bills, forms, checks, coupons. plus all the junk you get in the mail these days. What's your system? Do you bring it in the house and toss it on the counter/table? Let's get this situation under control shall we? First things first. don't get your mail unless you can spare a couple (and it's literally one or two) minutes to go through it RIGHT AFTER you bring it in the house. "Well, then I'll never get my mail," you say. "YES YOU CAN! Our organizer hangs...

Sunday, February 8, 2015. I love the way a child's brain works. there is this combination of innocence, curiosity, and honesty that can leave us wincing with embarrassment, or unleashing a good healthy belly laugh! Over the last few months, I started writing down some things my kids have said that made me laugh. My dear nanny friend, Jenn, has shared a few gems from her days working with her kiddos as well. Ben: [points to my face, just below my nose] Ewwwww! Me: That's called a pimple. Ben: I like to wr...

Monday, February 11, 2013. Best Parenting Advice Ever. I came across this e-mail a while ago, but just now got to read it (isn't that the way it is? I found it very interesting! It was sent from Parents Magazine and I just had to share! After reading the article, it made me think of some advice I myself would give - and I think anyone can relate! I know we've all heard the sentences that started like, "Are you going to let." "Don't you think you should." "Why don't you.". Makes my blood b...We won't alwa...

Saturday, March 1, 2014. The Evolution of My BFing Experience. My personal view on breastfeeding my children has drastically changed in four years. In these four years, I have had three beautiful, healthy babies. My experience with nursing each of them is very different. I have gone from loathing it to [mostly] loving it. What caused this mind shift? I think I might have an idea. So adding engorgement, nipple soreness, and just having little to no idea what the heck I was doing was down right frustrating!

Can't Clock Out: November 2013

Monday, November 4, 2013. Maybe I AM Doing Something Right. One for me, one for you! Benjamin said, enthusiastically handing a piece of his favorite candy to his sister. Wow he's actually sharing" I thought to myself. I shout from his room, "Can you get baby T's paci and bring it to me, please? Instead, he graciously says, "Okay, Mom! And runs in the room to help. Uhhh, he listened on the first request? I'm stunned. And that little part of my heart is proud of him, though I'm thinking it won't last.

Thursday, February 6, 2014. Organizing. Your Playroom. I am going to walk you through each part of our playroom, and share how I furnished and organized this space for pennies! I have to preface this by saying 99% of the toys my children own are either hand-me-downs or gifts. Also, I work at Lakeshore Learning and receive a 40% discount. Our playroom is an L-shaped loft, just to give you an idea of its layout. Inside each of the drawers, you'll find all kinds of fun stuff! I wanted to make sure there was...

Can't Clock Out: Life is Not Fair: Grief [Missing Mom]
http://cantclockout.blogspot.com/2014/09/life-is-not-fair-grief-missing-mom.html
Tuesday, September 2, 2014. Life is Not Fair: Grief [Missing Mom]. So why was I apprehensive to head to church on Sunday? Well, I thought it would be a given that I would cry at some point. just wasn't sure if it would be the tears-welling-up-but-won't-fall-that-makes-your-throat-hurt kind of cry, or the I-need-to-excuse-myself-because-the-baby-wipe-in-my-bag-isn't-enough-to-contain-my-tears-and-snot cry. Is this really someone's life? Oh wait. it was mine! 3 You don't have to know the right things to say.

Can't Clock Out: August 2013

Monday, August 26, 2013. My family and I looooove eating Mexican - especially the authentic salsa they serve with chips before your meal comes out! Tostidos used to make a "restaurant style salsa," but I have searched high and low and I can't seem to find it anywhere! So, I hunted down a recipe that met my expectations. so here it is! 1 can (28oz) whole tomatoes with sauce. 2 cans (10oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. 1/4 cup chopped onion. 1 clove garlic, minced. 1 whole jalapeño sliced thin.
