While at BlogHer not only did I learn something but I also got the opportunity to learn AND party with Lands’ End.
I was invited by Momtrends to attend Lands’ End University where we talked all things “Back to School” concerning clothing, backpacks, and there was even a little pampering for the Mamas.
We’ll talk about the children first…as always.
So. If you have children you may know all too well about the worn out knees in their jeans.
Like what is that?
No lie, in the span of one month we had to replace 8 pair of jeans because my son wore them out. Doing what? Let me know when you get an answer because I have no idea. The first stop on my tour of Lands End was learning about their Iron Knee pants…cause I am not in the market to keep buying the same articles of clothing numerous times this year. Not. At. ALL
Super Why is one of the shows that is constantly played in our home. Addison loves this show and will ask for the “Super Vie” in a minute. Then once the intro comes on she breaks out into the cutest dance. Super Why is her show!!
I have always had a love for live shows and I am really glad that my children are now at the age to really enjoy them. We are going to see Super Why Live on Friday. I think I am more excited than they are.

The past few weeks around here have been extra chill. For a New York minute I was starting to feel bad about not really being productive then I got over it. We’ve been going to bed late at night and sleeping late in the morning. We have the next 9 months to be on a schedule. I think we’ll enjoy these last two weeks going with the flow.
Speaking of New York I am ramping up my preparations to head to the Big Apple for BlogHer in a couple of weeks. I have childcare lined up and the majority of my outfits have been planned out via Evernote in this manner.
I do need to pick up a few things and I plan on grabbing those sometime this weekend. My sense of urgency is real because my son goes back to school on Monday the 6th and I get back on the 5th so everything needs to be in order.
I can’t wait to meet some of my bloggy friends and just have a good time. I have been invited to a few private parties and I do plan to attend. For the amount of money that has been dished out I need to get the most of the weekend.
I am thankful for BlogHer this year because it is keeping my mind off the impending anniversary of my mother’s death which is on July 27, and her birthday is on August 4th. With so much to do I won’t really have time to sit and mope. I suppose this is a good thing.
Lil Mama is now fully potty trained. No diapers or wipes to be found around these parts. She is even starting to go on her own…but if the light is out in the bathroom no haps. I “stared” she says, and “stared” means scared.
I have been on a mission to take better care of Lil Mama’s hair. Y’all know how much of a hair person I am not. I can cornrow really well and I’ve been known to sew in a weave or three. Yes, me. That’s how I made money in college. I tried out a coconut oil and honey prepoo on her hair and I am a believer. I was putting ponytails in it and her edges were starting to be affected so I have been two strand twisting or cornrowing it. I have seen an improvement over the past few weeks. Now to be consistent.
My son took his first flight alone from Las Vegas to here on July 5th. I was a nervous wreck. He did fine. He was such a big boy. My dad bribed him with an iPod. I really didn’t want him to have one then my dad had to remind me that he bought me a Gameboy when I was his age…Wellllllllllllll…..moving on. Could I be a hater?
My son is taking up soccer for the fall. I am looking forward to seeing how he enjoys it. Truth be told I never really thought he liked football much. He requested soccer and luckily we didn’t miss registration so I guess I’m now a soccer mom.
I’ll start doing house updates sometime next week.
Enough about our goings on. How are you? What’s been going on in your world?
Having manners is a lost art these days, and don’t hold your breath on receiving a please or thank you.
Sad thing is, as adults we are subconsciously adopting these practices and although we know better our kids don’t and they are mimicking what we do.
I make a conscious effort to display proper manners to my family and people that I come in contact with while in public. I want my children to learn from example that they should be kind to everyone and please and thank you should come as second nature.
Getting my children and husband to understand the importance of saying please and thank you isn’t an easy job. I promise at times he is worse than the children.
What better reinforcement than Barney, or Big Bird calling your child by name and letting them know you are proud of them for displaying manners. I was kind of hype to learn about Sprout’s Kindness Counts program, cause you know they listen to those characters more than they listen to you.
You go online, input your child’s name, the act of kindness that you would like to recognize them for and you select a character and a video is created with the character saying the child’s name and the act of kindness they are being recognized for.
Addison looooved it. I tried to video her reaction but it wasn’t the same the second time around.
