Funmoms: St. Patrick's Day Lessons

1. Shamrock Shirt was super fun and easy to make! Landon was so, so proud of it! Note to self though...next year I should try to slow down enough to remember to wear green myself. Landon broke into tears in the middle of Chic-fil-a because he was so sad that someone might pinch me. He's a little tender-hearted...

2. Lucky Charms do not make good necklaces! One, I repeat, one of the 15 shapes that make up the cereal actually has a hole to string a piece of yarn through. AND, that one piece is not even a marshmallow. BUT, being that every shape is still packed with sugar, 3-year-old little boys are just as happy to just eat them out of a bowl.

3. Green Alfredo was a hit, though it looked a bit scary, and my husband and father-in-law were great sports! :)

Fun Mom Feedback:

"Love the new site!"

"I just wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you for the great ideas. I feel very un-creative in that area, but my 2-year-old loves fun little projects. These are perfect; simple, not a lot of steps, and lots of them virtually free! So, thank you!"

"It's awesome! Can't wait to use it all. Loving the crafts!"

"Thank you for giving other moms creative ideas."

"What a great reference for fun projects to do with the kids!"

"I have a new level of confidence that I can do fun things with my kid. Turns out, I'm more fun than I thought!"

"What a great encouragment for moms! I'm spreading the word!"

"I feel so inspired!"

If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again

"If I had my child to raise over again, I'd fingerpaint more and point the finger less. I'd do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I would care to know less and know to care more. I'd take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging. I would be firm less often, and affirm much more. I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later. I'd teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love."
