About Me

Me and my sons

Hi my name is Kim and I am a cook, nurse, waitress, launderer, teacher, housekeeper, referee, arbitrator, broken heart mender, counselor, chauffeur and a vast number of other occupations I cannot think of right now. In other words, I'm a stay at home mom of four. My husband of nearly 19 years and I have two teenage daughters and two pre-school-age sons so right now we are going through two different parenting stages at the same time. Yes, we are applying to pre-schools and colleges at the same time, we are teaching the ABC's one moment and proof reading AP English essays the next, and as we own two vehicles but have three licensed drivers and six schedules to accommodate we some times meet ourselves coming and going.


Also throughout my marriage I worked at daycare centers or babysat in my home. So, one would think with all my childcare experience I would be the perfect mom and homemaker. But that is hardly the case. First off, it was amazing to me how much technology has changed in the eleven and half gap between my two sets of kids. Every baby item now takes batteries, plays music and vibrates, or so it seems. Also, science has changes a lot too. Things I was told NEVER to eat when I was pregnant with my girls I was told TO eat those same foods while pregnant with my boys. The reverse is also true. 


So, while I have my moments when I look at the people my kids are becoming and realize I have at least a bit of this parenting thing down, there are also days when I really feel like a lost brand new mom. And that is the long answer to why I started my blog. I wanted to share the knowledge and experience I have parenting with other moms and learn some new things from them along the way. I hope you enjoy your time here, learn something new or interesting and feel welcome to put in your own two cents.
