Getting ready for our first Pinewood Derby Race

by Traci S on Fri, 02/22/2013 - 12:40pm

My 1st grade son is thoroughly enjoying his year in Cub Scouts, and now is preparing for his first Pinewood Derby Race. Let me just say this whole build-your-own-car thing is completely stressing me out.

The value of the children's backyard project

by Traci S on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 12:46pm

“Go outside and play” has been a favorite suggestion of parents for ages. Kids get out in the fresh air, they burn off some energy, and parents get some peace. I love it that we have a fenced yard so I can know where my kids are, checking on them periodically through the windows. They can run around and act crazy, and I don't have to hear it all.

Finding the cause of the strange, bad smell in my daughter's room

by Traci S on Fri, 02/15/2013 - 12:49pm

Yesterday I discovered the source of the strange, foul smell we had been noticing on and off in my daughter's room. It was an elusive odor, faint but definitely bad. My husband even suggested there might be a small dead animal in hiding.

Lessons from painting the kitchen

by Traci S on Wed, 02/13/2013 - 11:25am

Yesterday I finished putting the second coat of paint on my kitchen walls. It looks quite nice, and I marvel that I didn't do it sooner. I painted the first coat back in 2008 just before we moved into our current home. Then life got busy, I gave birth to our third child, life got busier, and here we are five years later.

Redirecting my son's desire to play video games... to playing with Dad

by Traci S on Sun, 02/10/2013 - 9:05pm

My 6-year-old son asked me if he could play video games when he had already met his screen time limit for the day. Trying to redirect his interests, I suggested he see if he could play a game with his dad since I was busy at the time. And it's always good to promote father-son bonding. I recommended a couple of fun, easy-to-play games, and off he went.

A visit to the dentist: good news, bad news

by Traci S on Wed, 02/06/2013 - 12:19pm

We have started calling my 6-year-old son “Sharkboy” since we discovered a new tooth growing in behind his baby teeth. My son will turn 7 this month, and finds it rather annoying that he has not lost a single tooth yet. So apparently this permanent tooth decided just to slip in behind the baby teeth, which does not seem like a very good idea to me.

Celebrating a small victory for our picky eater

by Traci S on Fri, 02/01/2013 - 11:16am

The big news last night when my husband got home from work was that our 3-year-old had eaten mashed potatoes at dinner. I realize that doesn't sound too impressive to most parents. What kid doesn't eat mashed potatoes? What's not to like about mashed potatoes?
