Mother’s Day 2012

I have so much fun with my boys. Fun for me is pretty simple, hanging with my kids with minimal arguing & whining. So, for Mother’s Day, I just like to relax. It all started with breakfast in bed. With a little help from Auntie Mona, the boys made all my favorites: bacon, egg & … Read more

B Got Punched In The Mouth

Posted by ahotmama on May 8, 2012 · 8 Comments 

As a parent, there is nothing more frightening than your child being hurt. I expect bullying, name calling, your mama jokes when my kids are in middle school, but seeing them deal with getting hit at 3 years old, makes it hard for me to channel my inner peace. B is a sweet 3 year … Read more

Nora’s Playdate Rules

Posted by ahotmama on March 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Bronson is a really easy kid. He’s nice, funny, independent, and listens pretty decent for a 3 year old. These fine qualities have made him very popular for playdates. He has quickly become a Playdate Kingpin at his school. Playdate requests come flooding in so much that Bronson has taken the liberty of arranging his … Read more

Halloween 2011

Posted by ahotmama on November 1, 2011 · 1 Comment 

I love Halloween. Yes, partly for the candy, but mostly bc my normally nonchalant child, Mo gets REALLY excited. Mo doesn’t care about much or show emotion for anything besides sports. When Halloween rolls around, he gets really giddy. Like a lot of 7 year old boys, he loves the scary and gory stuff. So, to … Read more

I Hate Commercialized Kid Places

Posted by ahotmama on October 10, 2011 · 1 Comment 

I am not a fan of Chuck E. Cheese, Disneyland, amusement parks, indoor playgrounds, pumpkin patches, petting zoos… Basically, the list goes on and on (going to cool sporting events is exempt from this list!). If it is a commercialized place for kids, the chance of me enjoying it is prolly lower on my list … Read more

Getting Boys To Read

Posted by ahotmama on September 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

I’ve always been a reader. I can remember being a little girl and when I was really good, my dad would “reward” me by taking me on a trip to the public library. It was such a treat…being surrounded by words. It would always take me an hour or so to narrow down my book … Read more

Music Influences My Kids

Posted by ahotmama on September 28, 2011 · 1 Comment 

I didn’t realize how much pop culture and music influence a generation until I had kids. Sure, when I was growing up, I just HAD to have the jelly bracelets and lace gloves that Madonna was sporting. And yes, oversized hoop earrings with a key in it, all black denim, and ADIDAS were necessities for me in … Read more

B’s Big Boy Haircut At Floyd’s

Posted by ahotmama on September 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

When it comes time for the boys to get a haircut I like taking them to “big boy” barbers. I know there are a ton of kiddie places out there that cut  hair while your child sits in a rocket or race car chair. Some even blast Disney movies on big screens, and offer wii … Read more
