fun mommy tips…#10

teach your kiddos to toss their own trash! our model, harper lynn, shows you how easily she throws her own diaper away when asked- giving mommy a chance to wash her hands & eat a bon-bon… she shoots, she scores!!!

life resolutions. :colorado mom-ographer:

66. have a preventative mastectomy & reconstruction

67. follow/document a breast cancer patient 9/2009-?/2010

this is really interesting to me, although all of them are amazing! i have been considering number 66 for awhile. especially seeing my mom in and out of cancer, finally undergoing a required mastectomy last july, the same month kinley was born. she is still having difficulties. and my aunt also having a mastectomy and even though they are sisters they had completely different cancers, multiple times.

interested in seeing how this comes out…number 67 that is!
good luck in it all!

fun post! (well not the part about being sick…that sucks). i am a list maker too and todd thinks i’m crazy when i add things to my list that are already done just so i can cross them off. it’s such a good feeling, though! thanks for sharing your goals, including the ones you’ve completed…it’s good to keep those on the list. i never thought to do that, but it seems like it would be a great way to motivate yourself when you can see what you have done. i like it!

fun mommy tip…#8

drink your ovaltine!  now, listen here…you better for real ask your midwife, m.d., d.o., or lactation consultant before just listening to me on this one-it’s not highly recommended where we come from to drink at all while you’re nursing, so go ask someone first, please!!  i had a horrible time establishing breast feeding with livi. ...
