Do you ever wonder if you are teaching your children correctly or simply following up on your responsibilities?  That is a question that as a mom always arises.  We are always worried that we may not be teaching them enough, preparing them enough, or simply not doing enough. That question is answered for me on [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/do-you-ever-wonder/feed 4 http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties#comments Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:49:35 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2526
What do you do for kids birthday parties?  To be completely honest with you, I’m not into having large parties.  Not because I’m a party pooper, the contrary I love a good party.  My biggest issue is the thought that we must spend 100′s for a kids party.  What every happened to simple parties at [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties/feed 4 http://drmommychronicles.com/spring-is-officially-here http://drmommychronicles.com/spring-is-officially-here#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 02:44:50 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2512
Yes, Spring is officially here! I am so excited! I’m not a cold weather type of girl, although I was born and raised up North. Not sure how I survived up there, but so glad to be away from the blistery, cold weather. Here in the South it is beautiful.  We had a beautiful Easter [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/spring-is-officially-here/feed 0 http://drmommychronicles.com/some-food-for-thought http://drmommychronicles.com/some-food-for-thought#comments Sun, 28 Mar 2010 19:32:54 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2488
Today is Palm Sunday and as a Christian this day is very important to me and my family.  Just the other day the children were asking me about Palm Sunday.  Basically they wanted to know what the palms signified. The palms were waved by the crowds when someone of importance was arriving in their town [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/some-food-for-thought/feed 0 http://drmommychronicles.com/a-new-day-a-new-adventure http://drmommychronicles.com/a-new-day-a-new-adventure#comments Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:23:04 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2466
Yes, child #1 is now in her own place and although I am saddened by her absence, I am extremely proud! Many parents wonder how I can stay calm, watching my 1st baby moving away from home.  I calmly remind them that we are preparing our children for this day from the moment we teach [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/a-new-day-a-new-adventure/feed 2 http://drmommychronicles.com/the-time-has-come http://drmommychronicles.com/the-time-has-come#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:53:40 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2447
As a mom, you never think that your children will actually grow up and move out, but believe me it happens.  I still remember my mom’s face when I announced that I was moving out. Well, actually I hinted around at the idea but my parents didn’t take me serious.  So, when the time arrived [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/the-time-has-come/feed 21 http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:52:39 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2404
Many of you may or may not know that I am a mom to 5 children.  Three of those are teens and we all know how teens can eat! With this in mind, my goal was to cook and serve healthy meals but on a budget. For many years, we purchased food items and ingredients [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget/feed 3 http://drmommychronicles.com/rainy-days http://drmommychronicles.com/rainy-days#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:03:50 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2322
As a home school mom, we love our sunny days because the children can go out to release energy as well as explore the outdoors.  My little guy especially enjoys hunting for bugs and worms, oh yes, he is All-Boy So, you can imagine when rainy days come and they are not allowed to go [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/rainy-days/feed 1 http://drmommychronicles.com/are-you-content http://drmommychronicles.com/are-you-content#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:50:57 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2283
I’ve been wanting to write this post for quite some time.  The feeling of contentment is one that many have a difficult time accepting. With everything that is happening around us, recession, earthquakes and so much more…how content are you?

Did you happen to notice the pictures on the slider of the home page?  Building puzzles has been our family’s latest addiction but a good addiction.  Recently our big screen television died! Yes, it was not a happy moment for my family, but I saw it as a way to bring the family closer.

I’ve been contemplating writing this post for a couple of days and have finally decided to share. Part of the healing process is one of acceptance and the ability of sharing with others your thoughts, and feelings. My dear friend, Shellie, lost her precious 2-year old to a tragic pool accident on Monday, December 14th.

This holiday season we have decided to Go Retro! What does that mean exactly?  We have toned down the Christmas lists and have requested the children truly think about what they may need not necessarily ‘want’.  After much thought and revisions of their lists..I received their final drafts. Some of the requested items consisted of: [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/teaching-the-children-to-give/feed 1
