The Mom Song Mommy Moment

Posted on April 25, 2011 8:08 am by TheAngelForever

I recently made a big decision in my life. It was time to think about my family and put them first. The item is too fresh to really explain right now, but it was the right thing to do for my entire family.

Of course, this made me think about a song that Susan Egan and Georgia Stitt performed for us at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Here is my video of them performing it:

This song is perfect with Mother’s Day coming up and reminds me that even when the kids may make me want to rip my hair out, I know I am lucky to be home with them.

Thank you Susan and Georgia for helping me to smile and relive those magical memories from a month ago. I really needed this right now and hope it will make others laugh and smile this Monday morning.

Disclosure: Although we paid for our own trip to Disney World, we were given an incredible deal thanks to Disney. The sweet conference fee included 3 nights at the Grand Floridian, several meals for the entire family, 7 day park hoppers for everyone, conference/meals for me and some other items to take home. Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event.

Happy Easter 2011

Posted on April 24, 2011 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

While my family continues to eat matzah during Passover, I wanted to take time to wish all of my friends the following:

Since I can not have them right now – someone please have some Cadbury Mini-Eggs, peanut butter eggs, and jelly beans for me. Thanks!

The Face Says It All

Posted on April 23, 2011 9:18 am by TheAngelForever

Dear JSL,

What a week it has been. There has been so much going on that the time seemed to fly at certain points. Do you know what the following items all have it common?

Spring break
April showers
Passover Seders
Hunger strikes
Lots of family time
Laundry from sickness
Making big decisions
Rain, Rain, Rain
Pajama days
Disney DVD central

Any ideas? Well, when we look back at the past week, I think these items pretty much sum things up. It was Spring break, there were so many April showers that plans to play outside were almost always canceled. The Passover Seders were not only time spent with lots of family, but when your hunger strike of sorts started. No JSL, you can not live on potato chips and matzoh balls! Oh and the matzah and cream cheese at Nana and Papa’s house – the same we have. If you can eat it there, it will work at our house too.

Thanks to refusing to eat almost anything, you made yourself very sick all over my bed. That was also a day of really big, hard decisions for me. Did I mention that it rained, and rained, and rained? While stuck inside we sported pajamas and watched a bunch of Disney DVDs. You and NHL are now fans of Robin Hood.

The sun actually came out yesterday. While outside at Nana and Papa’s house, you made a face. It pretty much summed up the way I was feeling.

Thank you for making me laugh and smile – I needed that!

Love,

Mommy

Daffodil Days

Posted on April 22, 2011 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Right before Passover started on Monday, JSL and I went to pick up a few things at the library. JSL stopped to check out what will soon be their butterfly garden. Last year, he loved watching the butterflies fluttering around in the beautiful and colorful area.

Some gorgeous yellow flowers caught my eye and made me stop. I had to take photos:

Yes, these gorgeous daffodils made me smile. I am not sure why, but daffodils have become a recent favorite of mine. We planted some a few years ago. They were amazing – until the neighborhood bunny family yanked them out of the group by the bulbs. Goodbye daffodils. I keep saying that I need to buy some daffodil and tulip bulbs to plant, but I never do. Guess I need to get on that one of these years.

So my question to you this week is inspired by these daffodils:

What has been your favorite floral find this spring and why?

Passover Seder Aftermath

Posted on April 21, 2011 9:05 am by TheAngelForever

Monday and Tuesday night were late nights for our family. Yes, TechyDad and I are typically up working late – but the kids are asleep for many of those hours. For some reason midnight seemed a lot later when both boys were still up and running around.

We had a wonderful time at Aunt S and Uncle M’s house for both of the Seders. Extended family were in town to help celebrate and remember the traditions of Pesach. Thank you Aunt S and Uncle M for including us and giving our boys fabulous memories of Passover Seders.

There is so much to write about, but right now I am on Mom duty. Both boys are home for Spring Break and the little guy woke up feeling a bit off. Poor kid is miserable and I have laundry to work on thanks to it. Not sure if he is sick, or just so exhausted he is getting sick (not eating isn’t helping either). So if I am scarce for a few days, no need to send in the troops – just taking care of the family and trying to get everyone back on track while limited to Passover foods.

If you have any suggestions on things to feed an almost four year old that refuses to eat Passover food – I would love them.
