Forum: Stay at Home (SAHM's)

I'm so excited that Spring is finally here. I've already planted two trees and cut the grass for the first time this season. I need to get my landscaping weeded soon, it looks bad. Oh and we ordered a playset/swing set for Annaliese. It should only take DH all summer to figure out how to put it...

I know there are alot of serious things that we'd like to see disappear but let's try to be silly for once. I think I'd like to see biker shorts disappear!!! They do not look good on 99.9% of the people that wear them!!! :D

hi, this is my first post in this mom forum- I just need to vent a little. I have worked full time up until a few years ago when I got pregnant with my daughter who is now 1 yr. I recently went to visit one of my friends out of town for the weekend and to stay with her and her 2 year old son...

A friend of mine posted this on FB, so I posted it one the Parenting One Child Board but I thought that some of you might enjoy it as well. http://www.ncregister.com/blog/to-the-mother-with-only-one-child

So, DD turned 2 in September and I'm taking everyone's advice and I'm not forcing the potty-training issue. She does have a nice potty chair, a potty seat for the big potty and she also has lots of cute pairs of Dora underwear. Plus, she knows if she poops or pees in the potty, she gets...

Christmas is wonderful but I'm always so sad when it's time to take down the decorations and all the excitement is gone. Has everyone gotten back into their regular routines? What's everyone up to?

I hope everyone had a safe and happy evening and I hope that this year is a great one for you and your family!

I'm just nibby and wonder what everyone is doing. :D

I have so much stuff to wrap that I'm almost ready to just go spend a ton of money on gift bags so that I don't have to wrap everything! I won't do it but I'm really tempted. I do use some gift bags but I try to wrap as much as I can so that people can have fun tearing into their gifts. :D

I just wanted to take a moment to wish every a very Merry Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful day with loved ones making great memories. Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

Someone asked me about cooking from scratch. Mayo is an easy one: 2 egg yolks, juice of a lemon (about 2 tablespoons), a pinch of salt, a teaspoon dijon mustard (not sure why but I always use it). Mix that using an immersion blender and either the cup that came with it or a cup that is just...

I am and I am so not ready! What is your menu? Or any idea for menu would be appreciated.

I've had an exciting couple of weeks as December is always busy but I wanted to hear what everyone else is up to and how you all are doing. I've gotten almost all of my Christmas shopping done, so that's a good thing and I've also convinced DH to get a head start on buying for his parents so...

My DH and I had a date night last week and went to see Immortals. It was really good but we like that kind of stuff. Then I took my sister to see Breaking Dawn while she was home from college. I thought it was good but of course, you have to see the other ones before you can see this one. We...

Did any of you ladies face the crowds last night/this morning? I went out this evening and got a few things but I don't do well with crowds, so I was snuggly in my bed while people were fighting over stuff in the stores. :)

Just wanted to say it has been pretty quiet around here and was wondering if maybe everyone is just so busy or what! So......How is everyone? We are doing good here in Montana. Has finally gotten cold these last few days and a few inches of snow on the ground. Can't make a snowman cause the...

As most of you know, I consider myself a extremely frugal person and for most things, I'll use generics other than brand names, but...there are a few things that I just have to buy brand name. LOL. Here's the ones I can think of right now. Cheerios Heinz Ketchup (I'm right outside of...

ABC Song Game! Let's play a game where we go through the Alphabet coming up with song titles. All Together Now (by the Beatles) Your turn!!

For those who celebrate, has anyone started Christmas shopping yet? I'm officially done (I've said this 3 times) with my DD's gifts but I haven't started on the siblings, cousins, parents, aunts, uncles, etc.

DD, who just turned two, wants these things called Xia Xia pets. They're made by the same people who made Zhu Zhu pets. It's the only thing she's ever asked for, so we've managed to track them down. Apparently, they're the "it" toy this season, and we got the last ones off the shelf at Walmart last...

I am taking a road trip with my son at the end of this week and asked on another message board any tips for traveling alone with him. Someone suggested this for the seat next to him to hold his stuff at easy reach. I got one yesterday and I can already see this would be great for him and would...
