Around The Home
It’s the phrase I say oh, too many times to count. You often hear of parents talking about how much patience it takes to parent. The sleep-less nights, the tantrums, the repeating of commands. I am sure you can think of one thing that takes a bit of patience. But have you ever thought about…
It has been SO nice outside that I have forgotten to take pictures this week! I think my Halloween pics covered my lack of pics this time though (I know, I went a little overboard on Monday!) I have to remind myself that it is NOVEMBER and not SEPTEMBER with the weather. I am just…
Merry Christmas! It is the day of Christmas – a day of celebration! Do you feel ready? Are you feeling like you can enjoy the day? Are you able to take a deep breath? Christmas is the holiday that I look most forward to! Why? Because Christmas reminds me of why I live – through…
The other night, I had an idea to do a few fall crafts with Mazy in the morning. I pinned the ideas on Pinterest and made sure I had the right items to make them. I couldn’t wait to show her when she woke up, what I had come up with. There was this beautiful…
As a blogger, something I pray for, is that other women and other readers will feel valued, understood, related to, and loved. I don’t always know how to accomplish this, but this is something I pray for. Yes, I even pray about blogging. It makes my heart drip with tears to think that there are…
Today was a day filled with anticipation, yet so much peace. As we were on our drive to the cities, I found myself moving my legs around in the car, just trying to get comfortable. I looked at the clock what seemed like 20 times, yet my heart was completely calm. My nails maybe slightly…

Yes, my sweet girl tends to feel the same way when her daddy is out of town too. She gets very fussy and is constantly looking out for him to come home. I got her a big photo of the two of them together and put it on the floor up against the wall so she could look at it whenever she wanted. The photo seemed to help. We also recorded video of daddy reading books etc, that made her very confused and even more sad. She couldn't understand why daddy was in front of her talking etc but not really here. And he was so small and on the screen, it weirded her out. But just the photo was good. And also doing fun stuff. But they also rough house a bit and she misses that too. Mama is too gentle with her girl. So I try to play similar games as daddy does.
Oh and she also refuses to wear her bib too. I gave up on the bibs since she just pulls them all off. But if we have no time to change a dirty outfit and I need her clean, I use a disposable bib since they have tabs that really stick together — even those she pulls them apart. One thing she likes, which Mazy may find enjoyable, is learning new skills. Like today we got Popsicle sticks and a piece of carboard, I punched holes with the scissors in the back and stuck the sticks in the holes. She pulled them all out and I got her hand and was teaching her how to put them in and out of the holes. Simple but fun… I look up on the internet little things to try. I look up toddler sensory activities, or sensory learning. We got the macaroni and poured into a big bowl and she reached in etc. I keep the paci in her mouth so she doesn't eat it. Play dough does not work, she keeps eating it.
