Well, I don’t ever get to travel to many places, but for my sons and my “road trip” every other weekend…they are just so happy if we do something out of the norm every now and then. Like stopping for supper, or a quick shopping trip – they’re teenagers now, so not as easy to impress.

Lately, I’ve been taking time to “Just Dance” on Wii with Riley. It makes her day to beat me, but really I know she just loves having Mom play with her.

Come February that will get a whole lot easier when I go full-time at freelancing.

Ali: “Let their freak flag fly…” I love it! It was so much fun to see you over break, thank you for coming out on the 28th! xoxo.

Susan: It was so over the top ridiculous, it was just fun. And, bonus: my mom hadn’t been in a limo and thought it was just the funniest thing.

Samantha: Welcome! Thank you very much for coming by, and for your kind words: Sometimes “No” becomes a joke in our house- I realize I’m saying it automatically, and my 13 year old says, “No! Is that ll you can say?” and I say “No!” Bwahahahaha.

Pixielation: Exactly! Each day is a chance to make something ordinary something that they’ll look back on and say, “I don’t think all the Mums did that.” If I vacuumed, my children would be very concerned as to the health of our friendly weekly help. When I straighten up on a whim, they say, “Oh! Was ____ Here today?” And I say, “No, Mommy can clean too!” and they just look at me with an indulgent smile. Oh, well. They know I cook.:)

Great post – sometimes it’s so easy to say no, but so much more rewarding to say yes. I want to be remembered as the mum who made things happen, who played crazy games, or had fabulous ideas. Not the one who said no no no, and vacuumed all the time. (Not that I actually do that… the vacuuming that is)

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful series…and, you had me at “Kermit the Frog” and “lollipop stick stuck to your butt”…

I’ve been saying way too many no’s lately. This post is such a great reminder about how to bring the fun back into parenting, how to pick your battles and the like. I’m very excited for the 10 days of Mommy like a Rock Star!!!!

$17.95 well spent. I’d have done exactly the same thing. (and that’s before we discuss Boston drivers!)

Thanks, ladies.:) You’re all rock stars, and it’s so fun to hear about other mamas in the same boat. I hate it when I hear myself saying…”One more minute…” in response to every request. Thank you for stopping by!
