Hug Twice

I entered posts in two carnivals that went live this past week, and I wanted to take this time to thank the hosts and highlight some of the other posts I especially enjoyed from them.  Carnivals (a collection of posts all together on the same topic) are a great way to find other great bloggers you didn’t know about through reading the article they submitted.  Yay!

First, the Carnival of Family Life was at this full house and included my post asking When Did I Stop Being The Ultimate Authority.   I really do want to know… when did I stop having all the answers? Other posts I especially enjoyed included:

• Why Homeschool:  A Lesson I Am Trying To Teach My Daughters.   I think thatis a really important concept.  I can do everything, but I can’t do it all.  Even if every part of everything is something you can do, sometimes we don’t have the time and resources to actually do it all.
• What Works For Us:  How To Make Dinner With A Toddler.  I’ve been there.  Many times.  Alexa continually dumps all of our tupperware lids on the floor while I cook.
• Raising4Boys:  The Challenges of Having (More) Kids.  I’m not good at zone defense.  That’s why I stopped at 2!

The Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival was at Real Life and my post In A Minute was included.   Alexa is a funny little girl.  :)  Other posts about mothers and daughters I particularly liked included:

•  So Sioux Me:  Taekwondo for Girl Power.  I am such a proponent of martial arts for kids, not just for self defense but for learning discipline, patience, strength, courtesy… I could go on and on.  I’m a 3rd degree black belt myself so I have a little bias.  :)  This is a great post talking about the benefits the author sees with her own daughter.
• the so called me:  Media Makes Moms Look Unrealistic.  So true.  So sooooo true.  I often look like I just took a nap.  Heh.

Thanks so much to the hosts and all the participants!  Make sure to visit these great carnivals for yourself and find some posts you love!
