Love you and your right. I think my best friend and I need to get our kids together once a month and just go to the park and bar-b-que and have a good old time.

Tatz k00 do y0 mama thang... Wanna c u bak 0n da big screen may b even a B0yz n Da Hood 2... ;)

there's nothing like just sitting around w/ your girls cooking on the grill and watching the kids play. i miss those days my babies are teens now, so there's different things we do but there's nothing like enjoying them while thier little b/c trust me they do grow up fast. So to all you moms out there take advantage of it. Remember it's not the expensive things our kids remember it's the little things...the simple things...lots of hugs and kisses....xoxoxoxo

Hi Mummys (I'm from England).



I have done an Easter hunt every year for the last three years, (my oldest is seven) and it was hard work but all the kiddies were happy.



In England we do not really celebrate these holidays the way America does. It was actually an American couple (hi Deborah and Issac) that used to have Easter egg hunts when i was younger and i always said that i would do this when i had children.



Nia, i have a few topics that i think that we should discuss.



1, Helping each other out. Giving each other a bit of a break and some adult time. I find that when my kiddies go to a family members for the day, i always find that i end up doing all the things that i NEED to do (clean) instead of all the things that i WANT to do (relax and read a good book).



2, Doing more activities with our kiddies. I only have one friend that is willing to do activities with her children. The rest of my friends are only to willing to drop their children off and tell me ' girl, i don't know how you do it?'. I know that you have started it off here but i want us to really try to do better.



3, Discipline tactics. I have a seven year old that is really trying it an it is getting difficult. If you met him you would think that he had so much manners and is so intelligent. He actually is, but the talking back is a big problem.

I actually live with his father, but as i have said before it is more of a single parent situation. I sort out everything in the house. He will not mess with his dad but he will talk back to me.



My parents say that i should 'tear him up' as it worked with me and my siblings. I do not want to go there. Any sugestions....................?



Thank you all for letting me get that off my chest.



Love you all from across the water.x

Great reminder. I am definitely one of those moms who gets too caught up in the technicalities of things. It's true that kids just want you to be present and to know that you love them. A simple and thoughtful egg hunt would make any child happy.

Nia,

You brought me back to my childhood with the egg hunts and loads of fun. Had to pull out my archival pictures to fully reminisce. When your son grows up, I'm sure he will appreciate the nostalgia from these precious times. Thanks for sharing.
