A great idea for teaching your kids about Earth Day is sitting down and watching the movie WALL-E with them it is a great way to show them what Earth would be if everyone littered and didn't care to keep it clean. It's a great one for Earth day!

You can check out YouTube with your kids to find the old Classic Captain Planet one of my all time personal favorites! My sister and I would watch this every Saturday or Sunday morning!

EARTH DAY!! Don't Forget 4/22/2013

                                                              Pic I Took on a Beautiful day!

                                    "And forget not that the earth delights to feel                                           your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."                                                                   ~Khalil Gibran~ 

Good Evening Y'all! I've been thinking about Earth Day today and wondering how I will do my part. Earth Day is a couple of days away and maybe you don't have any plans for it. To some people it is just another day. Maybe this year can be your first year to really get into doing at least one thing that might help make our world a little cleaner. This is the same Earth that all of our future generations will be living on, so taking care of it now is very important.

Here are a few ideas to get started:

* Go by your local plant nursery and buy a tree to plant. Pick out a tree that you love or grab your favorite fruit tree! You won't just be helping the environment you will be enjoying a healthy treat year after year and also saving money!

* Get a water purifier attachment for your faucet or the water purifying pitcher to keep in your fridge.You will be keeping a lot of plastic out of landfills and putting more money in your pocket. Bottled water can get expensive! Think about it just 1 - 24 pack of water a week for a year is $260.00 and 1,248 plastic bottles a year. Most people I know easily go through 2 packs a week. If you do want to keep buying water think of finding a place close by to recycle the bottles. Even ask you garbage pick up if they are recycling bins you can use.

* Carry along with you a few reusable bags for any shopping you do. It doesn't sound like much but if 10 people save 10 bags each that day it is 100 plastics bags that wasn't used. 100 bags times 365 days is 36,500. That really starts to add up.

Turtles at the pond!

                                         

* My local grocery store offers plastic bag recycling. If you are hoarding a lot of plastic shopping bags see if your grocery store participates in this and take them up there.

* Open your blinds at home to let in the lovely sunshine for natural lighting. It saves energy and saves you money!

Taking a stroll at the park !

* Go to a park, cemetery or walk a mile down your street  and pick up any trash you see. Get your neighbors involved. This will help while making your neighborhood beautiful.

* Take a bike to work or to do lite shopping ( if it's not to far from home) instead of driving.

* Take your car to your auto shop and get all the filters changed out. Clean filters mean you use less gas, less gas means less air pollution, less air pollution means healthier air to breath and more money in your pockets!

These are just a few ideas to help you do your part on Earth Day, don't forget you can do these anytime not just one day a year. Just choosing one will make a difference. I plan to do something and I hope you choose to!

EVERY PARENT SHOULD READ! It's not always easy to be a parent!

Source: Pinterest.com

Good Morning Everybody! It's such a beautiful day in Georgia this morning the sun is shining  and the birds are chirping!
 As you all know I am a mother of 3 and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I love my babies! I was on Pinterest last night and came across this great quote! It is the truth! I realize parents never give themselves enough credit when it comes to raising their kids.

Being a parent is not an easy job and all we can do is our best. Our best doesn't mean giving our children every new updated expensive thing they see on T.V. or trying to be a best friend to them! Our best is giving them all your love, and attention they need to grow into happy healthy loving individuals. Teaching them morals and respect.(Which is hard when everything on t.v., magazines and the radio are showing otherwise.)  It's okay to show them that you don't always get what you want in life or win at everything. I teach my kids to always give it their all and do their best in everything they do and if they tried their best in the end that's all that matters. 
You might not always feel like the best parent cause you can't give them the world. It's okay just remember that expensive toy they want will most likely be a waste of money they will play with it maybe a week and never touch it again. I'm not saying you can't ever get them what they want. I'm just saying do it more occasionally and they will appreciate it more.

Your children would rather have you by their side playing in the park, reading books or just listening to something they have to say, answering all of their Why? questions! Remember they are just learning everything and they are so excited to learn something new. So take that extra time to listen to them and give them an answer their little minds are sponges and want to soak in all the information you give them!

I can truly say I never give myself credit on parenting. I feel like I do more things wrong than right. My kids are not always happy with me but that is okay I am here to teach them and make them the best little people that I can. If it means they are mad at me sometimes than I guess I might be doing something right. I'm not going to say yes to everything they ask. They get over it quick and they still love me. In the end maybe they will say thank you for not letting me do everything their friends are doing! When they are old enough I will be that parent that wants to know what they are doing and with who and if I don't approve I will say no! They might stomp their feet, roll their eyes and yell at me but I will know I am doing the right thing and maybe keeping them safe.

I see so many kids these days with no parental guidance and it breaks my heart. You just want to find their parent and shake some sense into them. Children running around the street  wee hours or the night or little 9 year olds playing the role of parents to their younger siblings because the parents rather not deal with them. Little girls running around half naked chasing boys instead of playing with baby dolls or barbie. Our children are losing the innocence of being children far to soon. My nephew is in 6th grade and their whole 6th grade classes stay on lock down because of all the fights the children are having. This has to tell people something about how society is these days. We have to instill morals and discipline in our children so when they are our age they can live in a peaceful and loving world!

I have heard people saying parenting isn't a job and raising kids is easy. they don't know what they are talking about and anyone who says parenting is easy is either lying or obviously not a parent! We have to be our kids chef, teacher, bather, personal assistant, receptionist, playmate, laundry doer, grocery shopper  and driver! We have to be responsible for keeping little people alive, growing healthy and  teaching them! I say that is a huge weight on your shoulders and yes it is a JOB! A way more important job than most! 
It is normal to stress out sometimes, to yell sometimes, to have a messy house and not have dinner on the table at the exact time everyday. It doesn't make you a bad parent and it doesn't mean you don't love your family!

Remember to give yourself a pat on the back now and then. It isn't easy but if you are doing your best than that is what counts! If you have you children close by remember to give them sugars, squeeze them tight and love them unconditionally! As long as you are doing that you know you are at least doing something right!

 I look at my children doing good in school, respecting other people and making right choices, without me always by their side and I think maybe I am doing a better job than I give myself credit for.
