Snowy Day

It was actually a blizzard kind of day. Good thing it was a snow day - no school for the kids. We got about a foot of snow, not bad considering other areas got 16 inches! As usual, my son was excited, he is at the age where he loves to go outside and play in the snow. My daughter used to be like that until she got older; now, she could care less about it unless we go down the road near the winery where the kids can sled down the hill. It is fun but the dressing up part is so tedious, having all those layers of clothing makes me feel like I'm wearing a pair of compression stockings, no kidding! But it is a small price to pay seeing my kids have a great time.

"I Want to be a Fireman"

This is what my 6 year old son told me last night, while we were working on his All About Me project for school. I wonder where he got that idea since there are no firefighters in the family. I asked him why he wants to be one and he just game me this sweet smile. I'm just thankful that at least he has an idea of what he wants to be when he's grown up. I know of some kids who are much older than him and they can't give you an answer if you ask them that same question. Choosing a profession is very hard. You need to love what you do for it to be a lifelong profession. Be it a doctor, a Maritime Lawyer or even a musician. That is what I'am always telling my kids, choose a job that you know you will enjoy doing, something you are interested in and you can never go wrong.

Are Girls Maturing Too Fast?

I have a pre-teen and have seen some of her classmates start to wear make-up. My daughter asked me a couple of months ago at what age can she start wearing make-up. I answered that we'll talk about it when she's 16 years old. I talked to a girl's mom and she mentioned that she's worried that her daughter is growing up too fast. Her girl came down ready for school one day and was wearing green eyeshadow. She asked her to go back up to her room and take it off.
When is the right time for girls to start wearing make-up? I think Middle School is still too young to start. Plus, I'm worried that using make-up too soon will make us look for the best acne treatment available. Geez...time flies by so fast!

Busy as a Bee

I need at least 5 extra hours in a day during this Christmas season. Really! I'm sure other moms out there feel the same way. Aside from maintaining the household and paying bills and searching online for cheap auto insurance companies (since the rates here in the state where I live is horrendous!), there are the kids' school and extra-curricular activities too! I'm still not finished with my Christmas shopping. ugh... Breathe.. That's what I need to do right now. I'm sure I'll get everything done sooner or later. Well, I hope it's sooner, don't you?
